About this deal

from space and the book is more than content to use its words to describe her wandering their apartment in her panties and every other highly unlikely bit of business you can come up with. The MC Yuuki is your typical kuudere. There is nothing remotely interesting about the guy. The author seems to feel the same way because after another girl (not FMC) named Rio becomes relevant to the story, Yuuki is almost constantly drawn

Most of this is just Yui trying to be nice or get her feelings across and Yuuki just saying something to calm her down because he’s being a different type of presumptive jerk from the other guys Yui has known. That’s some noble gas level chemistry right there.

About this book

Nov 25 i☆Ris the Movie - Full Energy!! - Anime Film Teaser Visual Revealed at i☆Ris Live Stage in Anime NYC & i☆Ris First Performance in New York Successfully Completed It was only a matter of time before Yuuki fell victim to the overly friendly Yui, but little did she know that he was as clueless as they come! The tables have suddenly been turned, and the hunter will soon become the prey. But the first thing Yuuki remarks upon meeting her for the first time is that her teeth are pretty. So what she — and others — will begin to learn is Yuuki’s pretty oblivious to a host of things. TURNING THE TABLES ON THE SEATMATE KILLER v1 is a densely written, yet ultimately very casual jaunt into the world of high-school anxiety. Getting along with seatmates feels like a life-or-death event. But in reality, it's only as complicated as one makes it.

Damn it! You think that poker face of yours is gonna get to me?! I’ll make you regret this, you’ll see!” There's a genuine effort to make the series' very inconsistency one of the cornerstones of its humor. Characters change at the drop of a hat, the manzai gags from the first volume go away, and pretty much all that remains consistent throughout is how deliberately goofy the whole thing is. Themes of feeling displaced in a relationship do ground the story more than you might expect, which is interesting, because it could be argued that the entire plot begins with Yui feeling like she doesn't belong in her class and taking some highly questionable advice from her older sister. Awkwardness is the root of everything, whether that leads to oblivious actions or feeling left out, and that feels remarkably true of a lot of human interaction. Generally speaking, changing seats at school can mean saying goodbye to a classmate you’ve might’ve befriended. But for all intents and purposes, for one particular class, having your seat changed to sit next to the “Seatmate Killer” is not good. Yuuki Narito is the one who has to sit next to said “Seatmate Killer,” Yui Takatsuki, who supposedly strings the hearts of young guys along, and when they fall for those charms and then confess to her, she turns them down. And with her bubbly, outgoing personality and good looks, once she does show up, it’s easy to see why Yui has caught the hearts of boys throughout her school years. That Yui falls in love with the regularly invisible Yuuki is not a surprise; the surprise (and the fun) is that when Yui realizes she's in love, she goes all in, damning the consequences. From the get-go, even the premise is a total non-starter: Yui is no such thing as she’s described, just a girl trying her best to be friendly who her precious seatmates made their own leaps in logic over. So she gets a vicious reputation because some guys figured she must be into them. Great start.Of course, Yuuki’s the one with the real trauma, having lost his mother and having to be as stoic and supportive as possible for his sister, Mina. Which isn’t a bad narrative hook, until Mina enters the equation. Yuuki Narito falls into the mold of the highly competent, highly average high-school kid. He's perfectly oblivious, perfectly modest, and perfectly sociable (if he feels like it). Yui Takatsuki, his new seatmate, is attractive, popular, and a bit of a chatterbox. The assumption is that Yui's obvious glamor entrances every guy she sits next to (only to promptly rebuff them.). But the twist is that Yui, gregarious though she may be, is overly conscientious and just wants to fit in. She wants to fit in so badly that she overcompensates, a lot, and accidentally forces her classmates to veer toward (or away from) her, based on the girl's convivial nature.

This does get better towards the end, as the old ‘fake girlfriend’ ruse blows up and forces the family to say some stuff they should have said years ago and Yui does some good and, hey, what is the definition of too little, too late again?Nov 20 From the U.S. to Japan, You Can Control the Life-Size Moving Gundam from the Comfort of Your Own Home
