My Neighbor Seki #4

Volume 4 of Takuma Morishige's charming slice-of-life manga finds our two desk-neighbors right where we'd expect them — seated side by side in class, with Seki-kun absorbed in what appears to be an elaborate sticker or card collection spread across his desk, while Yokoi looks on with her trademark mix of exasperation and curiosity. It's a perfectly understated cover that captures the quiet comedy at the heart of the series: one student completely checked out of class in the most creative way possible, and another helplessly drawn into watching. Vertical's 2015 release keeps the fun going for anyone who's ever been distracted by the person sitting next to them.
