Seki is back to distract Yokoi during class. I still can't fully believe that a student would be able to get away with this. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the hilarity of Seki's choice of activities.

The most boring book i ever read. The entire series is like this absolutely horrible. One stars.

Este tomo me ha parecido más original que los anteriores, con los cambios de escenarios (y actividades de clase).

Compared to the previous three books, this one fell a little short. Normally I get some sensible chuckles out of Seki's sheer inventiveness, but several gags here fell into the "he cares a lot about an inside joke" camp without being too meticulous or slapstick. Even worse, Rumi's language and antics have escalated out of character, in my opinion.
...but despite my nitpicking, the central premise still plays out reliably well from chapter to chapter.

Yokoi continues to watch (and sometimes thwart) Seki's goofing off, and Goto continues to misunderstand Seki and Yokoi's relationship. Seki
Okay, the premise is now seriously wearing thin. The only reason I'm still reading is because I have a pile of these via the library. They're not bad, but it all feels so same-y, even though Seki's games are always changing.
I like Seki's ingenuity, but it just isn't enough to carry a multi-volume series. Also, sometimes Yokoi frustrates me. Seki's weirdness should be normal to you by now, just ignore him and pay attention during class like you keep saying you want to do!

tries to create a beetle superhero, goofs off during a three-person drawing assignment, and paints himself so that it looks like he put so much effort into school sports that he bled. Yokoi ends up stealing the robot family after Seki has them fly kites for him. She later guiltily gives them back to him via his little sister.Okay, the premise is now seriously wearing thin.

Irl I would hate to be Seki’s “neighbor.” But his adventures ARE delightful to read, and so funny. Reread for me because my library has the series now. I will probably jump around in the books for a bit. Very fun!
