REVIEW: Nichijou: My Ordinary Life (manga, vol. 7) by Keiichi Arawi, translated by Jenny McKeon

Nichijou is a high school comedy manga. I bought my copy of this volume new.

Review:

In this volume we get more Go/Soccer demonstrations.Yuuko gets mistaken for some kind of celebrity and immediately regrets rolling with it. The principal has an increasingly terrible experience with Mr. Takasaki as his unfortunate witness. Yuuko and Mio attempt to smash an indestructible pumpkin. Also, a weird group arrives and tries to get itself some newspaper subscribers.

This volume seemed weaker and more random than previous volumes. Certain running jokes, like the dog thing, seem to have been dropped.

The best bits, for me, were the part with Mr. Takasaki and the principal, and the part where Yuuko thought she was having an unlucky day but inadvertently saved the prime minister's life.

Extras:

A few full-color pages and a little info on the weird guys who were trying to get newspaper subscribers.
