Büyük bir önyargıyla başladığım bu kitabı bitirdiğimde beklentimin aksine kendimi keyif almış şekilde buldum.
Annesi ve babası birbirlerinden ve çocuklarından gizlice vtuber olmuş. Oğlan da bunu öğreniyor. Babası dünyanın en ünlü vtuberlarından biri olmuş, oğlan da deli gibi hayran bu 2D karaktere. Bu yüzden şaşırıyor ve kabul edemiyor bu durumu. Uğruna şarkı bile yazdığı 2D karakter aslında babasıymış. Şaşırıyor da şaşırıyor. Kabul edemiyor bir türlü. Hikaye biraz tıkanıyor gibi oluyor çünkü çok üzerinde duruyor ama olan şey hep aynı. "Babam mıymış hayır olamaz"
Anne ise ekran karşısında nasıl davranacağını bilemiyor bu yüzden de bir türlü seyirciye kendini kabul ettiremiyor. Oğlundan yardım istiyor. Çocuk da babasıyla çalışıp taktikleri öğreniyor annesine öğretmek amacıyla.
Olaylar yaşandıkça hikaye biraz açılmaya başlıyor. Anne ve babanın yaşantıları ve kişilikleri ortaya çıktıkça onları daha iyi anlıyor hatta sempati bile besleyebiliyoruz.
İlk yarısına katlanabilirseniz sonrası biraz mükafatlandırıyor diyebilirim.

CW: Jokes regarding incest
This manga was one of the funniest I've read in a long time. We follow a boy who finds out his dad is a famous VTuber with millions of followers. He then finds out his mother is also a VTuber, but is terrible at it. It's his mission to help his mom get more followers and stop his dad from his hobby so he doesn't die of embarrassment.
I loved this so much. It's not often I laugh out loud reading a manga. I didn't like the incest jokes, but that was my only complaint.
Turn your brain off for this one and enjoy!

Like many people, Takashi has been swept up by the wave of Vtuber (“virtual YouTuber”) personalities and he’s a fan of Kizuke Yai. With virtual avatar and voice changing software available to anyone who wants to vtube, people always joke that the cute, young girl Vtubers are all actually middle-aged men but Takashi is convinced that Yai isn’t one of them.
This conviction lasts until he stumbles on his dad streaming as Yai.
Apparently being a Vtuber pays well — so well that Takashi’s dad quit his office job months ago to be a virtual idol full time, and now Takashi is in on the secret as well and will possibly never recover from the shock.
My Dad’s the Queen of All Vtubers?! has a funny premise but it’s aggressively clear from the first few pages that this is a comedy at the expense of the characters and that you should be laughing at them the entire time. If I was in Takashi’s shoes I’d also be mortified at the idea of any of my parents gallivanting online as a teenaged anime girl, but Queen of All Vtubers wants the readers to be reminded every five pages or so just how embarrassing this is for Takashi, especially with how both of his parents are drawn.
In case Takashi’s life hadn’t been turned upside down enough already, he discovers that in addition to his dad being a mega-popular Vtuber, his mom is also trying to get a Vtuber career off the ground, (correctly) thinks that Yai is a total fake, but Takashi’s mom comes off as so awkward and “unfeminine” on her own streams that the few viewers she has are constantly joking about how she’s actually an old man. There’s definitely some humor to be had with how Yai’s more orchestrated and over-the-top persona comes off as more “authentically” feminine versus how Cry Tekari (Takashi’s mom’s Vtuber persona) consistently comes off as more masculine for being the opposite of that but nah, Queen of All Vtubers isn’t interested in that. This manga just wants to remind you how awkward it is that Yai’s fake panty shots are what’s currently paying the bills.
Heck, Takashi’s dad says that his acting and persona are a part of him and how he feels much more true to himself by being a Vtuber than he ever did as an office drone, which again could bring up some interesting ideas, but nah, Queen of All Vtubers wants you to laugh at how uncomfortable Takashi gets when his dad accidentally does something “girly” in public (and a lot of the things Takashi’s dad are framed as a bit “creepy” as well, and there’s multiple instances where he’s drawn to resemble unflattering memes as well).
An entertaining comedy needs more than one joke but everything Queen of All Vtubers does is a variation on the same joke: you really have no idea who’s behind the avatar. I’d say I’m not sure how this is going to be more than one volume, since it seems like the creator Wataru Akashingo has already milked all of the ideas they had, but I would have said the same after the first chapter! If the series wasn’t so determined to make every character look the fool it would have a lot more gags at its disposal, but I think I laughed more at a section of Akashingo’s afterword more than I did at anything in the actual story!

February 21, 2021There are some things that miss the mark (as yes, much of the comedy is Takashi's horror at his parents' antics and I'm not the biggest fan of grotesquely drawn reaction faces) and I certainly may not understand all the references and memes, but I do think there is a bit of heart here all the same. As much as Takashi refuses to listen to anything his dad actually says, his dad's monologues about finding his place in the world are really quite sweet if you take them on their own. The end comics also make clear how much it's playing with gender norms when we get a flashback that i loved to Takashi's mom and dad when they were young - his mom coming to his dad's rescue. Throw in the way that his dad is more suited to homemaking than his mom, who prefers to relax with a beer in the evening rather than cook, and I'm all in.
I'm not as convinced as, say, whoever reviewed it for the OASG that we're supposed to laugh at the PARENTS for deviating from the norm or whether the real comedy lies in Takashi's over the top reactions (it's funny his eyes pop out and he puts them in the next panel, not necessarily that his dad is striking a cute pose imo. Or at least, that's where I saw the humor was supposed to be coming from) and meme references I'm probably not getting.
As I said, the dad's words have real heart behind them for me even if Takashi's negative reactions cut in right away, and his parents are a really cute couple. I had fun, and I'd probably check out a vol 2.

This was much more of an interesting concept than the execution. The concept of finding out your father is the Vtuber that you like is a great setup. Unfortunately, it was played for jokes that most of the time did not hit. Not that I think that everything needs to bed explored with a deeper meaning, but I hoped that there was more depth to the book.
One thing I did like was the drawing quality, it was well-drawn, but there were too many over-the-top shocked faces of the son that were not funny and felt very cartoony. I wish that were was more that talked about gender and the fluidity of it with both the mom and dad. What could have been a nuisance but the still funny book came off a bit misogynist and ew my dad likes being feminine on the internet. There could still be a lot of drama and laughs about the lying aspects of it, but it felt too ew feminine.
I think there is still a good story deep in there and I love the idea of vtuber explored in another media, but this felt a bit too juvenile and mean-spirited.

This book is awkward and cringey and strangle wholesome. Dude finds out his dad is a hit mega-celebrity VTuber (that he had a massive crush on), while his mom is a terrible VTuber trying to oust his dad as a star. In order to help his mom achieve her dreams he has to help his dad be a VTuber and gets roped further into the culture and lifestyle. I think what makes it work is how so many jokes are at the expense of the son. He had a crush on his dad, who silly of him! He is forced to do VTuber things, how embarassing for him! But instead his dad is so wholesome, a supportive husband and a dad who just wants to spend time with his kid.
I still have some worries that the gag will wear itself out in further volumes and border on some yikes stuff but for now, volume one is sweet and pretty funny.

I loved this manga. I laughed so hard so many times not only from the dialogue but the images as well. Poor Takashi discovering his dad is the "queen" of Vtubers, and getting dragged into the drama. Not only that, but somehow his mother has her own secret. This is a fantastic volume and will surely be an entertaining series. I would highly recommend this to fans of Vtubers from groups such as Hololive and Nijisanji, as well as fans of Vocaloids. Though Vocaloids are different, the virtual characters share some similarities. This would also be great for fans of comedy manga as well. Fantastic!

It sounds terrible to say that you don't expect much from any piece of art. And yet, what could you expect from a comedy in which a grown man is the most popular teenage virtual idol online? This work is never meant to be anything more than a dumb chuckle, and I can say with no regrets that it absolutely delivers. It's also one of the few comics in recent memory where the visuals themselves are downright hilarious, especially the numerous ways main character Takashi's soul dies every time he learns something new about his father.
A personable translation and superb lettering make this a fine afternoon read.

A silly introduction to a trending concept in Japan
The comedy is hilarious, and definitely cringeworthy. For this volume, it primarily emphasizes the comedy, centering on the concept of a virtual girl being portrayed by an adult man. I'm hopeful that later volumes may include aspects of Virtual Youtuber culture, something I am quite familiar with (fellow Kaguya Luna & Hololive stan here). For now, this is an entertaining introduction to a trendy phenomenon from Japan making waves around the world.

This was so much fun. Looking forward to more of Kaiten's offerings in the future.

Honestly, really underrated comedy. It also gives me very similar vibes. If you like vtubers or are up to date in internet/geek culture I think it's a great read for you

Fun but disjointed start. More vignettes than an established story. Still, very enjoyable.
