I'm not really a manga fan but
I do enjoy a good graphic novel and Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong is just
that. Charlie and Nate are unlikely friends with Charlie the captain of
the basketball team and Nate the president of the robotics club. They
live on the same street and were made to hang out together because Nate's
parents thought he would turn out weird. Their plan backfired. When
Nate discovers that the school funding to send his club to a robotics
competition will instead be given to the cheerleaders for new uniforms Nate
hatches a questionable plan. Only the head chearleader Holly (who also happens
to be Charlie's ex-girlfriend) decides to retaliate and drags Charlie into the
fight. When Nate's original plan backfires he comes up with an even
crazier idea. Nothing can possibly go wrong.... right? Who will win, Nate
or the cheerleaders? Will Charlie and Nate's friendship survive?
And why does Nate need industrial strength weedkiller and chainsaws?
Nothing Can Possbily Go wrong has a great mix of humour and
emotion. The character of Charlie is well written and complex which makes
you really start to feel for him. The light sprinkling of jokes and
sarcastic sense of humour lightens the story and makes Nate seem slightly less
like a sociopath. The illustrations are fantastic and complement the
humour which makes this graphic novel a very enjoyable read. Definitely
give it a go if you like graphic novels (and maybe even if you don't).
