ちおちゃんの通学路 [Chio-chan no Tsūgakuro / Chio's School Road] #1

The misadventures begin here with this opening volume of Chio's School Road, published by Kadokawa under the MF Comics imprint. The cover sets the comedic tone perfectly — a flustered, orange-haired schoolgirl in her uniform has clearly taken a spectacular tumble, sprawled across the ground mid-commute with her briefcase landed nearby and her legs still flailing in the air. It's a wonderfully expressive image that promises a series built on the everyday chaos of simply trying to get to school on time.
