Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. The best, most perfect manga ever. Except that title actually goes to One Piece, but it sounds better if I lie.
I could make one of those fancy proper threads, that has the author, volume listing, and all of that boring stuff, but I find that really boring so I don't wanna. Or maybe I will get real bored and do it, I don't know. You can't boss me.
Why is this series so great? Well... hey, look at that!
//pins your arm behind your back
NOW who's asking the questions??
I've re-read this child quite a few times. And it's still just as great every time. The mangaka's paneling, expressions, and comedic timing are all top notch. Though it's based off a light novel, I actually find this at least 10x funnier due to these aspects. Beyond that, the art itself is really nice. By really nice, I mean it's actually anatomically correct -- that is, it seems like the artist ACTUALLY STUDIED ART instead of just copying off-model manga art and calling it a day. One of the first shots has floating skirt and IT'S DRAWN SO NICELY!!! I LOVE THAT SKIRT!!! //taken to jail
And, besides being ~correct~, I like the style quite a bit too ʘ‿ʘ Since light novels, and thus, their manga spin-offs, are typically full of characters that look like gross sexed up 12 year olds, it's kind of refreshing that the characters, for the most part, look their age, though it's still on the large eyed anime side of the spectrum. And I think it also fits the feel of the story quite well, too -- I've doubtless seen lovelier art, but I think that would feel out of place OTL
Since I feel this thread might just end up being me talking to myself I think I will leave it at that for now and go more in depth later. I'd like to talk about my favorite scenes but that would be pretty much every page ╮( ̄▽ ̄")╭
To recap:
CHINESE CAFE, "EUROPEAN"
