Junta is a side character if ever there was one. He blends in with his surroundings, his teachers often forget he's in class unless he makes sure they notice him, and if he sneezes everyone is alarmed that he "snuck up" up on them. That said, there is one of his fellow students who notices him. Kubo sees him and has taken quite the interest...

This is a fairly entertaining slice of life comedic manga. Almost what would happen if you mixed Komi Can't Communicate with Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro (though not quite as cutie of designs as the first and without the mean spirited nature of the second). It has a gentle nature to it and is frequently quite funny. It also manages to take its main concept, continue using it, yet not feel too repetitive.

Overall this is a solid start to this series and was entertaining enough to make me want to pick up a second volume. 4/5 stars.

H (no longer expecting notifications) Balikov Is there anything exceptional about the artwork?

Tim Not particularly. The most notable aspect is how much our lead looks like a background character. He's bland, which rather than being a downside really just makes the joke that he's so forgettable work better. Art overall is fine, but not the most impressive I've seen by any means.
