Séki mon voisin de classe #8

Volume 8 of Takuma Morishige's charming slice-of-life series finds our classroom duo right where we'd expect them — sitting side by side at their school desks, with Seki utterly absorbed in constructing what appears to be an elaborate miniature house and garden, complete with tiny trees and landscaping. His long-suffering neighbor watches on with her trademark mix of exasperation and reluctant fascination, unable to look away from whatever ridiculous masterpiece he's crafting this time. Published by Éditions Akata in 2016, this French edition captures everything that makes Séki mon voisin de classe such a delightful read — one boy's boundless creativity and one girl's hopeless inability to just ignore him.
