キャラクタイムズ [Character Times] #2

The cover of this Shogakukan volume immediately catches the eye with its striking contrast: a large, imposing brown bear character in a black-and-white striped outfit looms over a cheerful little yellow duck, both set against a vivid green background with a cascade of fish beneath them. Creator 萬屋不死身之介 brings a delightfully offbeat energy to this manga series, blending cute character designs with an undercurrent of dark humor that the cover's bold, slightly unsettling bear perfectly telegraphs. If the first volume left you curious about the absurd world of "CHARACTER's SCHOOL," this second installment looks ready to dive even deeper into its wonderfully strange premise.
