Joshi Kausei Story
& Art by Ken Wakai chapters 1-8 Review
From Crunchyroll: “Who needs dialog when you're this cute?
The beautiful (but unlucky) Momoko, the cool, collected Shibumi, and the
refreshingly innocent Mayumi star in a "silent manga." No speeches,
no dialog! Just pictures, sound effects, and three high school girls living
their daily lives.”
Slice-of-life
Japanese animation and comics has two modes: mindless and coming of age
stories. Joshi Kausei falls into the former category. What establishes this
series apart from its countless peers is the lack of dialogue bubbles. Art wise
it also is very nice to look at as well. The series is a pleasant diversion
with chapters being rather short.
The
series will not thrill or captivate most people. The fan service feels
uncomfortable and out of place and clashes with the tone of the series as a
whole. All-in-all Joshi Kausei is off to a decent start though it has its
flaws. If one is not averse to them however this may prove to be a pleasant
enough break in a day.
