さよなら絶望先生 [Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei] #24

A charming volume from Koji Kumeta's darkly comedic slice-of-life manga series, this twenty-fourth installment features a cover girl dressed in a floral kimono and white apron — a waitress ensemble — cheerfully balancing a tray laden with beer bottles and glasses. The warm, everyday warmth of the image makes for a delightful contrast with the series' signature offbeat humor. Fans of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei will find this late entry in the run a welcome addition to the collection.
