this series has only 5 volumes in english so it's a quick read. higashimura brings her signature style of comedy (that i can only describe as a "hyper-frantic whirlwind") to an autobiographical story about her relationship with her art teacher. this is a sad story. higashimura's humor make the heartbreaking parts stick out and hit you hard.
Content Warnings
Minor: Physical abuse
The art teacher has an old school way of teaching, which includes some physical abuse of students. This may be jarring to some readers.
