My Neighbor Seki, 5 by Takuma Morishige

3.0

Seki continues to goof off, and Yokoi continues to be fascinated/charmed despite herself. Or she tries to thwart him, especially when his games showcase his sadistic streak. In this volume, Seki tries (and fails) to outwit Uzawa. Also, Yokoi teams up with Seki's mom during parent visiting day in an effort to defeat his games. Goto continues to think Yokoi is passionately attracted to Seki. And the robot family is back again. Yokoi

Spoiler

tries and fails to get pictures of them vacationing. Other happenings in this volume: Seki builds a subway system inside his desk, tells a superhero story with billiards, and distresses a pair of jeans.

This volume renewed my flagging interest in this series, at least a little. It was nice to see Seki's mom, who turns out to be an expert rubber band shooter. Yokoi continues to be self-deceiving, telling herself that she can ignore Seki anytime she wishes when what she really wants to do is watch and see what his latest game will be.

I'm running out of new things to say about this series...
