heyjudy's review against another edition
3.0
~3.5/5
I do enjoy this series quite a bit, though it’s more of a fun one-off to pick up for a little fun reading. There’s not an overall plot to follow. It’s a reprieve, really.
Seki is causing more and more trouble to Rumi, as she keeps getting caught up in the game that at this point she’s barely paying attention to class either. I enjoy the ongoing jokes and themes, like the robot family that Rumi is protective of. Rumi’s friend in class is still believing they’re having a love affair, and is even worried that Seki is bad for Rumi. Seki’s sister visits class, and Rumi tries helping, while we get to see how similar the siblings really are.
I don’t really have much to say about each volume of this series. It’s fun and easy, what you should be looking for when you pick it up.

This volume continues with Seki's adventures of how to goof off in class with guest appearances. Poor Yokoi does her best to still study and pay attention during lectures. The secondary characters are excellent additions for the pair.

Seki continues to goof off, and Yokoi continues to watch him and occasionally try to thwart him. In this volume, Yokoi has to borrow Seki's Social Studies textbook and learns that
There are zero new developments as far as characters and character relationships go. Goto still thinks Yokoi is under Seki's thrall, and Seki's sister still desperately wants to play with him while he resists and ignores her.
My favorite thing in this volume was the edited textbook. It was really cleverly done and something that I could imagine a bored kid doing in real life.

he edited it to tell the story of a master thief. Also, Seki mends stuffed animals (by cannibalizing a less-cute one), creates a foosball table out of his desk, sets up an ant farm in his bag, creates an airstrip for paper airplanes in the corner of the classroom, practises good table manners, and brings his sister to class. Oh, and there's a fake bomb and an Earth made out of eraser shavings.There are zero new developments as far as characters and character relationships go.
