Oresama Teacher #9

The ninth volume of Izumi Tsubaki's Oresama Teacher opens with a recap panel right on the cover, where two characters — one dark-haired and one lighter-haired — react with exasperation and alarm to a unsettling rumor about people disappearing from the hallways at 5:00 PM. Tsubaki's expressive linework captures the series' signature blend of comedy and unease, with the dialogue bubbles doing plenty of heavy lifting to set the stakes. A fun, character-driven shojo series from Viz's Shojo Beat imprint, this volume promises more of the lively school drama fans have come to enjoy.
