My Neighbor Seki
Also known as: Tonari no Seki-kun, となりの関くん, El pupitre de al lado, Pulpettinaapurit, Séki, mon voisin de classe, Seki bàn bên
by Takuma Morishige, Frédéric Guyader
Toshinari Seki takes goofing off to new heights. Every day, on or around his school desk, he masterfully creates his own little worlds of wonder, often hidden to most of his classmates. Unfortunately for Rumi Yokoi, his neighbor at the back of their homeroom, his many games, dioramas, and projects are often way too interesting to ignore; even when they are hurting her grades.

Read the full take
A classmate who takes goofing off to new heights creates tiny worlds, dioramas and projects on and around his school desk. His neighbour, who is trying to keep her grades up, finds his creations impossible to ignore. The premise is a simple, deadpan comedy about imagination meeting routine.The strongest element is the invention. Each project is a small delight, and the comedy comes from the calm way the lead carries on as if nothing unusual is happening. The episodic structure lets each idea breathe.The weakness is scope. The premise is narrow, and some episodes repeat the same pattern of projects and interruption. Readers who want a larger story will find little beyond the classroom.If you enjoy quiet comedy about creativity in everyday life, it is a delightful pick. It is inventive and understated. Expect tiny dioramas, a long-suffering neighbour and a classroom that somehow becomes a little more magical.
