I never thought a manga about a boy killing time during lessons could be so hilarious!

This was funny and quick it helps that they move on fast and don't stay on one thing to long. I normally do not enjoy this type of manga this was well done and one of the characters never speaks. I want to keep reading just to see what Seki dose next. :)

Very funny and cute!! An innovative and creative approach to a school setting ,slice of life, comedy.  I found it very charming. I liked how this comic never failed to surprise me, but I must say, the classroom setting does become a bit repetitive.

There’s funny moments and it’s just a chill little slice of life. It’s a bit too repetitive so it drags a bit. Also, Seki’s neighbor is just plain nosy, like she’s always in his business, so I find it hard to like her and she’s the voice of the book.

Seki is amazingly creative but doesn't speak?? Youmi is straight-laced and talks too much?? I get the premise but couldn't get into this one.

Grades 6 and up.

This series would be a perfect addition to Junior High or Middle School media center. It is absolutely hilarious. Each chapter is a stand-alone episode (the anime is in 5-minute episodes), which is a turn-off to some readers (the same one's that don't go for short stories) but sooo funny!
