「SKET DANCE」

Hello (*^^)v

Today, I'll recommend you 「SKET DANCE」 written by Kenta Shinohara.

This comic is becoming popular these days. In fact, it was novelized in November.

I'll buy it when I go back to Japan during the vercation♪

Then, I'll show you the summary of this story.

This is a story set in a school "Kaimei School".

In this school, there's a club which is known as the campus support group, called "Sket-dan".

"SKET" is stands for "Support" "Kindness" "Encouragement" "Troubleshoot".

Their activity is helping the people and support the school life of students.

They accepts the request from the students and help them. There's various kinds of requests.

For example, "Please take part in a softball game as a pinch hitter","I want to be the popular person in the class", "Please look for the culprit who sprayed graffiti on the school's wall." and so on. They always try to satisfy a client.

"Sket-dan" is consisted of three students Yusuke Hujisaki, Himeko Oniduka, and Kazuyoshi Usui.

A captain ,Yuusuke Hujisaki who is called Bossun organized this club. He has extraordinary power of concentration. But, unfortunately, he is famous as the inconspicuous hero, because he doesn't have special ability like the hero of other comics have, and also other characters in this comic have strong personality. So, the other characters always make fun of him by saying he is an inconspicuous person. But he get the strong trust of the other club members and clients. He always try to help people even if he has to lose and suffer.

Himeko Oniduka is only girl in this club. In the past, she was a delinquent who was called "Onihime" (a demon princess) and feared by everybody. But , now, changed her heart by Bossun and tries to help people by using her ability which is good at quarreling. She fights with a hockey stick. She puts confidence in Bossun.

Kazuyoshi Usui is the guy with wearing grasses. He is called "switch". He is popular among some of the girls because he is handsome and funny. He is good at using technologies. And,,,he doesn't talk by himself. He always talks through using speech synthesis software because of his very sad past. But he could recover from that sad past by Bossun and he enjoys he became cheerful person. He also puts coinfidence in Bossun.

All three of them pull together and try to solve the troubles which clients have. They have very good teamwork.

My most favorite character is Sasuke Tsubaki who is a vice-president of student council.

Student council always fight against SKET especially Bossun and Tsubaki are always opposed to each other. They are good rival. Tsubaki has a strong sense of justice. He is good at karate and judo. I like his characteristic which is very serious , but also hating to lose like a child. Bossun and Tsubaki always fight like a child. It's very funny. The picture of student council is the second one. Tsubaki is the guy who is written at the right of second raw.

This comic includes various kinds of stories.

They sometimes make me laugh and sometimes impressess me greatly.

And also, there's various kinds of characters who have a strong personality.

I'm always looking forward to read next story because I can't expect what kind of story and character will come next. It is one of an attraction of this comic.
