A review by dreaming_book_witch
Show-ha Shoten!, Vol. 1 by Akinari Asakura

4.0

This is another Blue Hen Nomination. I'm going to be honest, I really wish I could understand the humor behind this book. I am betting that the jokes are lost in translation. I found the artwork and the goal to be fun, but I found myself out of the loop when it comes to the jokes. The part where Shijima was making his family laugh was honestly the best part because I understood what was happening. I got the jokes because there had been a set-up in the manga earlier for it. Overall, the story was fun, I just wish I understood it better.
