Manga of The Week: Tonari no Seki-kun

So I was just browsing through the new up dates and I came across a fairly short but hilarious manga called Tonari no Seki-kun. It doesn't really have much of a plot, instead it centers around a girl called Yokoi and what it is like for her to sit next to a boy named Seki-kun. Each chapter is a new hour/ class in school and in each class Seki is doing something insane instead of paying attention. For example 1st hour he set up a super complex domino chain on his desk. Another example would be him bringing two cats into class and playing with them. Even though Seki is doing all this crazy stuff on his desk for everyone to see, he somehow never gets caught. Its Yokoi who gets in trouble because she is distracted by all the things that Seki is doing. Now from what has been released so far this manga doesn't seem to have much depth or any sort of a plot, but i think it's lack of focus is what makes this manga good (that and the fact that it's so funny.) Anyone who wants a break from the mundane or just a good laugh should give this manga a try, I promise you wont be disappointed.
