Dignified asleep Saeki

At first I thought this was going to be your typical fanservice-y manga, but I was very wrong! This manga is a perfect wholesome manga that gives me the warm cozy feelings. It is not particularly ground-breaking in anyway, however it definitely a good read especially if you like fluffy wholesome things. If this was an AO3 fic it would definitely have mutual pining and tooth-rotting fluff tag. But one thing worth mentioning is that both MCs are middle school students so nothing super romantic happens between them which might be a turn off for some people. Even though there wasn't much romance I stillfound the manga very enjoyable.

The following review is in Spanish and English (translated with support from DeepL). The version read is the Spanish translation by “Naik-Sama” of "Knights Mighty. It can be classified as part of that “sub-genre” of school romantic comedy with short chapters dedicated to the daily life between a boy and a girl based on the same joke or interaction. In this case the thematic center constitutes the “good sleep”, Saeki-san, the girl, has the habit of sleeping in the class after lunch without any other student or the teacher suspecting it, only her classmate Tokomiya, the boy, notices it. At the beginning, the chapters only take place atschool and in the classroom, but as the relationship between the two becomes closer, new scenarios will appear, either in other school spaces or outside the school. In fact, I must highlight the dedication of Haruhara Robinson, the writer, for the effort to explore such a simple premise in different scenarios and details, even without intending it, as a reader you will learn different curious facts about sleeping or embark on considering the possibilities of taking a nap in unsuspected places. There is a slightly explored romantic factor, simmering as it happens in this kind of stories, and its comedy is quite innocent, apart from a few boob jokes, most of the punch lines will be about the absurdity Saeki goes to in order to get his longed-for afternoon nap. Still only to a certain extent could he get Robinson's effort, eventually he introduces more characters and subplots to justify one or another chapter, and inevitably we come to his premature end, I don't know if it was the author's decision or if he received the ultimatum, the more I understand why it happened, although what existed can be validated to a certain extent, it can only be so within a limit. For the draw we have You Kokikuji who is within the standards of similar stories, with that eye-catching and clean drawing, a correct positioning to express his comedy, which altogether has given me different panels that I like to send in my daily life, which will get persist in my memory. Español Puede clasificarse como parte de ese “subgénero” de comedia romántica escolar con capítulos de corta duración dedicados a la vida cotidiana entre un chico y una chica basados en una misma broma o interacción. En este caso el centro temático constituye el “buen dormir”, Saeki-san, la chica, tiene por costumbre dormir en la clase posterior al almuerzo sin que ningún otro estudiante ni el profesor sospechen, únicamente su compañero Tokomiya, el chico, se da cuenta. En principio los capítulos únicamente ocurren en la escuela y en el salón, conforme la relación entre ambos se vuelve más estrecha nuevos escenarios irán apareciendo sean otros espacios escolares o por fuera de la misma. De hecho, debo destacar la dedicación de Haruhara Robinson, el escritor, por el empeño en explorar tan sencilla premisa en diferentes escenarios y detalles, aún sin pretenderlo, como lector aprenderás diferentes hechos curiosos acerca del dormir o embarcarte en considerar las posibilidades de tomar una siesta en lugares insospechados. Hay un factor romántico explorado levemente, a fuego lento como sucede en este tipo de historias, y su comedia es bastante inocente, aparte de unas pocas bromas de pechos, la mayoría de remates serán sobre el absurdo al que llega Saeki para conseguir su anhelada siesta vespertina. Aún así sólo hasta cierto punto podía conseguir el esfuerzo de Robinson, eventualmente introduce más personajes y subtramas para justificar uno que otro capítulo, e inevitablemente llegamos a su final prematuro, desconozco si fue decisión del autor o si recibió el ultimátum, más comprendo porque sucedió, aunque lo que existió puede ser validado hasta cierto punto, sólo puede serlo dentro de un límite. De dibujante tenemos a You Kokikuji que está dentro de los estándares de historias similares, con ese dibujo vistoso y limpio, un posicionamiento correcto para expresar su comedia, que en conjunto me ha brindado diferentes paneles que me gusta mandar en mi vida cotidiana, que conseguirá persista en mi recuerdo.
