The hilarious bestselling manga series published for the time in North America―in full-color!
Galko-chan always speaks her mind, which may not be the wisest decision in all cases, but it’s never short of entertaining! Follow the exuberant and unbelievably busty high schooler as she traverses the ups and downs of adolescence with spirit and verve, alongside her best friends–the anti-social loner, Otako, and the unpredictably honest Ojou.
A fun new Galko manga with, of course, some stuff about girl/boy bodies, boobs, butts, day to day life, and much much more.
I wasn't expecting this comic to come out right now, Amazon.de listed it as March, though other sites listed February 7th. So imagine my delight when this one got delivered. Of course I had to read it.
We have new, and at times, embarrassing questions. But even if the question isn't embarrassing the topic can sometimes just derail to something embarrassing. Like the topic about skin colour, and how everyone has the same colour down there. :P Or Galko wearing a men's blouse and someone in class immediately thinks it is because she was having sex with a hot guy and she took his shirt. So yes, there is a lot of boobs, butts, but also a lot of friendship, bad jokes (as in jokes that make you roll your eyes), and background story on the characters.
We also meet new characters and they get some spotlight time. And also some side-characters (like Charao and his girlfriend) get some time to shine. I do hope we see more of them, they do make a cute couple.
It was also fun that people often misunderstood Galko, just because it keeps happening. When she comes in late in the morning, they thought she was having late nights with parties and boys, while actually she was hooked up to a new manga, tv-show, or anime. Or with how she looks (big boobs, and she is a gal) they think she is just doing very naughty things, while Galko has absolutely no experience with those things. It was quite fun to see their realisation when they see how friendly, nice, kind, sweet she is. That she isn't so shallow as they think she is.
I am also still amazed at Galko's bag and what is in it. Really, that is some magic bag.
Ojou is still not entirely my favourite character, but we see a lot of new sides to her in this one, and I am started to warm up to her.
Otako, well I do hope she will learn not to offend Galko too much. There is a fine line between joking and being mean and I hope she will learn not to go too far. At times she is quite harmful (at least in my eyes).
I am still amazed that the author is doing this manga in all-colour. Some pages in colour isn't rare, but the whole manga, that one is definitely rare. It is one of the things that I love about this manga, because it really brings out the characters, the blushes when certain topics get brought up for instance are now clear as day, and I could go on with other things that really are awesome when in colour. I am also not sure if Galko would work if it was all black and white.
I definitely enjoyed this manga and I can't wait for the next volume to come out.
I love this cast and the art is very nice! Another great volume. Since it’s a slice of life story the only real change is the seasons, if you want their to be a story you won’t find it. If you loved the first volume you’ll love this one. It’s not too repetitive as well so it makes for a good SOL read. It’s not too similar from the first volume so you aren’t just reading the same volume with a new coat of paint. Though I guess unless one really likes the cast they’d grow tired by this volume. I do like how the series doesn’t just focus on the main trio and instead the side characters but no in a way that distracts, in a way that offers variety. However I’m shelving the series because the authors um… controversial…😞
This is such a fun series. And great for girls with questions!
This series does a great job of answering all the questions that young girls have about their bodies, sex, boys, fashion, diet, food, siblings, and more. It's all presented in a humorous way, & the art is very unique. I highly recommend this manga. Art, unusual yet very good. Dialogue, very good. Characters, very believable & relatable.
I continue to enjoy this series because of how candid the girls are with each other, and I just really enjoy the different conversations these characters have together. It’s not genius in any way, but it’s still a lot of fun to read.
The best thing about this series is its reminder that girls can be just as gross and crude as boys - something the world could stand to be reminded of from time to time.
