Reviews

[Josh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very funny. Also one of the most realistic representations of social anxiety

[Greg Sheppard · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume is where the near relentless (but very funny) endless bleakness starts to relent and Kuroki starts to interact more with classmates and start forging social connections and the start of one of the most amazing things I've read in a while.

It manages to continue being weird and funny but starts the long process of Tomoko making friends. And the way the various characters.start to enter her life is so brilliantly done and realistic as these people in her class etc just become her friends.

I really like that the main character is really starting to have interactions with other characters (outside of family), it is a nice and well paced progression. I am really enjoying this series.

Interesting new characters!

[Angel · Rating 3 out of 5]

The school class trip drags Tomoko around and forces her into the group of rejects - which of course are normal compared to Tomoko.

[David Doel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Finally, it appears that the author may have some interest in curing Tomoko of her loner status. That, and a trip to Kyoto, make this the best volume so far. I hope the trend continues!

Slain

[Woowott · Rating 3 out of 5]

Seriously. So bloody awkward. And yet, I enjoy it, even though it is painful to see how inept Tomoko is.

not bad...doesn't help I read this when I was super tired. Had to laugh at Tomoko's complete social ineptitude and misfortune with the "punk" girl.
