Boulard #4

The fourth volume of Bamboo Édition's Boulard finds the lovably scatterbrained teen hero perched atop a towering stack of textbooks — Chimie, Littérature, Biologie, and more — absorbed in a newspaper test about IQ, all while a smitten older woman swoons in the background and a skeptical younger kid looks on. A grey cat sits coolly at the base of the book pile, seemingly unconvinced by Boulard's sudden scholarly ambitions. Subtitled En mode surdoué, this 2015 entry from the team of Mauricet and Erroc promises the series' signature mix of cheerful chaos and school-day comedy.
