Séki mon voisin de classe #6

Volume 6 of Takuma Morishige's charming slice-of-life series finds our two schoolmates right where we'd expect them — seated side by side at their classroom desks. The cover captures the dynamic perfectly: a wide-eyed girl looks on in disbelief as her neighbor Séki, utterly absorbed, tinkers with what appears to be an elaborate robot or mechanical contraption assembled right there in class. Éditions Akata's 2016 French edition of this delightful series is a warm invitation to anyone who's ever wondered just how creative one student can get when the teacher isn't watching.
