Very funny and cute
This Manga series is a sort of ‘tropical survival guide for JKs’, PG-13 rated. Honestly, I think if it was the basis of a NHK game show, it’d be a huge hit (for different reasons from what makes this manga charming). With most Nihonjin living in urban areas and ignorant of everyday basics that people who live out in the sticks take for granted, the authors focus on the genre type characters culture shock being forced to defer to an Outward Bound girl from F class.
I DO think the gags would have been punched up more if they weren’t so married to their school uniforms… The preppy girl won’t drop her blazer (blazer? on a tropical island? Yeah, blazer. AND…) and the ‘jock’ girl always wears her sweater (yeah, sweater). A lesson in basic tropical fashion for covering their naughty bits wouldn’t have been out of place. lol. Especially when they’re sort of begging to get sunburned and have a heatstroke crises.
(Note: There’s a huge difference between the direct tropical sun when it’s at it’s highest, and shade, in terms of temperature. These girls would have gotten REALLY burned by volume 2 and REALLY tan by volume 3-4. Lol. By volume 5… well, retaining the PG-13 rating would require manga explication bubbles every frame (‘wow’’bounce’’hello!’’gravure!’). haha.
