this slice of life/comedic subtle teen romance has my heart like nothing else has. the wholesome levels are out of this world. these japanese storytellers and mangakas do teens in a way that i love, unlike the usual western ideal and even according the stereotypical japanese way we see often, and it's such a breath of fresh air. they cutely dismantle the stereotypes or straight up throw it out of the window to reveal us a little bit of the characters' insecurities, boundaries and all their potential depth (no deep dive, just introductions). just made to be normal japanese teens who also do x and say y. just normal girls and boys and folks.

Except not - this story is a testament to friendship and also about having a little more faith in yourself. It’s really well done across the board. Not only in how easy it is to take something the wrong way when you have low self-esteem, but also in showing how good friends are just there when you need them to be.i'm excited to meet them yet again all the cast of freshman highschoolers. they are so adorable!! mitsumi is such a dork and has a way to bring in people and making them feel at ease, sousuke is rightly tagged as the golden retriever boy in this (im so riding for them - have a weakness for a well-done weirdo-ish fmc and golden boy mmc frienship/romance). as for yuzuki murashige, she's my girl, she's a girl's girl and i will protect her with my life too. i want to see a great change in mika egashire, i think she has a story to tell though her actions are rlly deplorable. i'm excited to see how the authors will turn her character around; and of course the others' too like sousuke's weird relationship with theater/acting. This manga illustrated the difficulties that youngsters usually encounter in high school. As Mitsumi learns that the social life at Tsubame High is extremely dissimilar from her junior high school, we can see her floundering from her first day. She struggles to understand others, misses social cues, and strives to reconcile her dreams with reality. Skip and Loafer has a convenient plot and a straightforward premise. The story is practically banal in its core, yet it is told in a way that everyone can relate to. Although Mitsumi's narrative will be all too familiar to everyone who had the feeling square peg in round hole in high school, witnessing her rise to the occasion is nonetheless motivating.
