=3= Song of the week tomorrow I guess. Skipping Weekly Webcomic for this week. It'll continue next week. Not sure how much longer it'll go though. Stay tuned for A Week with Kenn 51. I'll get to it. Eventually.
Title: ぐーぱん！, Gu-Pan!
Author: Haruna Mao
Genre: Seinen, Comedy, Slice of Life
Total Volume Count: 2 (ongoing)
Serialized in: Hobunsha Manga Time Kirara MAX
Summary from Overload Scans:
Washizu Miri, a second year high school student, is a small 148cm(less than 5 feet)-tall girl who has acquired a reputation for being violent and dangerous. This collection of short manga (generally 2 per page) chronicles the fun daily life of Miri and her friends at school, Natsumi and Utako.
Kenn's Comment: Think of it this way, she's virtually the child of Taiga and Ryuji. She's got Taiga's height genes, with Ryuji's misunderstood-by-everyone-but-your-closest-friends-because-of-your-scary-face-kinda-thing gene. If you're wondering about the title, it's apparently supposed to be "Good Punch". Of course in Japanese, it'd be 「グドパンチ」 (gudo panchi), hence the title, in hiragana, rather than the katakana I put there. It's in 4koma format, so it makes for a quick read. Give it a shot. Quite funny.
