Turning the Tables on the Seatmate Killer Volume 1

Product Information

TURNING THE TABLES ON THE SEATMATE KILLER v1 is a densely written, yet ultimately very casual jaunt into the world of high-school anxiety. Getting along with seatmates feels like a life-or-death event. But in reality, it's only as complicated as one makes it.

Of course, Yuuki’s the one with the real trauma, having lost his mother and having to be as stoic and supportive as possible for his sister, Mina. Which isn’t a bad narrative hook, until Mina enters the equation. Tonari no Seki ni Natta Bishoujo ga Horesaseyou to Karakattekuru ga Itsunomanika Kaeriuchi ni Shiteita This does get better towards the end, as the old ‘fake girlfriend’ ruse blows up and forces the family to say some stuff they should have said years ago and Yui does some good and, hey, what is the definition of too little, too late again? But the first thing Yuuki remarks upon meeting her for the first time is that her teeth are pretty. So what she — and others — will begin to learn is Yuuki’s pretty oblivious to a host of things.Speaking of that moment, the ecchi parts of this manga will likely be either the major deterrent or entertaining factor for anyone in need of another romcom read. The windblown skirt ruining a confession scene and causing the leads (well, in this case, just Yui) to blush is pretty much classic at this point, but having Yuuki’s lively little sister Mina parading around the house with no pants on is the exact moment where you’re activating your drop or tolerate senses. It also somewhat undermines the Narito family’s unfortunate past (mom passed away three years ago) and Mina’s former shut-in life and her struggles of making friends at her school. Makes sense for her to feel comfortable at her home, but then your joke of Yui stopping by Yuuki’s house and eventually meeting a pantsless Mina isn’t exactly going to work out with most people. Yuuki Narito falls into the mold of the highly competent, highly average high-school kid. He's perfectly oblivious, perfectly modest, and perfectly sociable (if he feels like it). Yui Takatsuki, his new seatmate, is attractive, popular, and a bit of a chatterbox. The assumption is that Yui's obvious glamor entrances every guy she sits next to (only to promptly rebuff them.). But the twist is that Yui, gregarious though she may be, is overly conscientious and just wants to fit in. She wants to fit in so badly that she overcompensates, a lot, and accidentally forces her classmates to veer toward (or away from) her, based on the girl's convivial nature.

Most of this is just Yui trying to be nice or get her feelings across and Yuuki just saying something to calm her down because he’s being a different type of presumptive jerk from the other guys Yui has known. That’s some noble gas level chemistry right there.

About this book

Generally speaking, changing seats at school can mean saying goodbye to a classmate you’ve might’ve befriended. But for all intents and purposes, for one particular class, having your seat changed to sit next to the “Seatmate Killer” is not good. Yuuki Narito is the one who has to sit next to said “Seatmate Killer,” Yui Takatsuki, who supposedly strings the hearts of young guys along, and when they fall for those charms and then confess to her, she turns them down. And with her bubbly, outgoing personality and good looks, once she does show up, it’s easy to see why Yui has caught the hearts of boys throughout her school years. The perfect romantic comedy light novel must surely exist, but it just as surely isn’t this half-baked bit of business, which combines a slew of grammatical errors, overly complicated writing, and one hell of a little sister into a boring mess.

You think that poker face of yours is gonna get to me?! I’ll make you regret this, you’ll see!”From the get-go, even the premise is a total non-starter: Yui is no such thing as she’s described, just a girl trying her best to be friendly who her precious seatmates made their own leaps in logic over. So she gets a vicious reputation because some guys figured she must be into them. Great start. Yuuki barely exists amongst his other classmates and he likes it just fine. The best-laid seating plans of mice and men, however, see him sat next to Yui, the notorious Seatmate Killer. She lures guys in and then rejects their confessions, but has she met her match in the immovable wall that is Yuuki?

Yuuki, for example, though oblivious, isn't cynical (as his genre predecessors typically are). He's not opposed to getting into a relationship with a classmate, he's simply unconvinced the time is worth the effort. This slight deviation from the reserved archetype means Yuuki doesn't stress himself (too much) when being kind, faithful, reliable, or romantic. Not to say the kid isn't stressed. He definitely is. It's just that he's comfortably mellow about it. This manga, like many others caught my attention through it's interesting main concept. Of said manga, the good ones will build upon their main concept and use it to propel the story further. This manga did a good job at that for the first 10 or so chapters. The last 15 are some of the most disappointing chapters I've read in quite a long time.from space and the book is more than content to use its words to describe her wandering their apartment in her panties and every other highly unlikely bit of business you can come up with.
