Description
Aoi Susumu, a boy who was despairing of his life because everything was going wrong, was alone on the rooftop looking up at the sky. He is visited by Kamiya Yona, a junior member of the same art club. As usual, she had a c*cky attitude and made fun of him, but on that day, he was different from usual. He had lost a drawing contest, had been kicked out of his relative’s house, and had seen his childhood friend, whom he was supposed to be dating, walking hand in hand with a man he thought was his best friend. Susumu’s mental state was at its worst. Yona, who was unaware of the situation, made fun of Susumu in a light-hearted manner, and her words triggered Susumu to climb over a high fence and jump off the rooftop. However, for some reason, his body is never found, and only a rumor spreads that someone saw Susumu jump from the rooftop. When his junior and childhood friends hear the rumor, they regret what they have done and look for Susumu, only to find him with the most beautiful girl in school. …… Jealousy, regret, and a scene of drama. A reversal of fortune that starts from the bottom. A fun and enjoyable romantic comedy begins here!

My Thoughts on A Cheeky Junior Denied Me My Entire Life, so I Tested What Would Happen if I Jumped off a Rooftop to Vent My Anger
This title definitely grabbed my attention, and the premise promised a rollercoaster of emotions. After diving in, I can see why opinions on "A Cheeky Junior..." are so divided. It's a story that seems to deliberately push boundaries, and whether that works for you will likely depend on your tolerance for "misery p*rn" and morally questionable characters.
First Impressions
My initial reaction mirrored that of many readers: shock. The opening chapters are undeniably edgy, depicting a protagonist at his lowest point, surrounded by people who seem determined to make his life even worse. The "cheeky junior" comes across as downright cruel, and the childhood friend's actions are, to put it mildly, deplorable. I found myself questioning whether I could stomach spending more time with these characters.
What Works Well
Despite the initial grimness, I can see the potential that some readers found later in the story. There's a definite shift around chapter 20, with the focus turning towards the protagonist's character development. The narrative begins to explore how he finds meaning in life after his suicide attempt (or rather, failed attempt, as a certain twist reveals). This shift towards self-discovery is a welcome change of pace and offers a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. The slow-burn approach to character development could be a strength, allowing for a more nuanced and believable journey.
Areas of Concern
The biggest hurdle for me, and seemingly for many others, is the cast of characters. They are, frankly, unlikeable. The reasons behind their actions often feel contrived or unconvincing. The childhood friend's infidelity, supposedly driven by shame over the protagonist's depression, is particularly jarring and difficult to empathize with. The constant cruelty inflicted upon the protagonist can also become exhausting. It toes the line between exploring dark themes and simply reveling in misery.

Final Verdict
"A Cheeky Junior Denied Me My Entire Life..." is a difficult novel to recommend wholeheartedly. It has moments of promise, particularly in its exploration of character development and finding meaning after trauma. However, the unlikeable characters and reliance on shock value may be too much for some readers. If you're looking for a lighthearted read, steer clear. But if you're willing to wade through the darkness, you might find a diamond in the rough.
