Synopsis

My Neighbor Seki is a collection of short stories that revolve around two classmates who sit at the back of their high school homeroom. In each chapter Seki devises a new way to kill time in his school desk, to best avoid boredom. And along the way, he ends up distracting the girl who sits next to him, Rumi; whose mind goes wild as Seki pushes the limits of his disobedience! This critically-acclaimed comic has sold over 1m copies in Japan, and the hugely popular weekly series can be viewed on Anime Network and crunchyroll.com.
