Manga of the Week - Working!!

Sunday, December 19, 2010


I'm running out of manga to put up to be honest. (´・ω・`)


Title: Working!!, Wagnaria!!
Author: Takatsu Karino
Genre: Seinen, 4koma, Comedy, Romance, Slice of Life
Serialized in: Square Enix Young GanGan
Total Volume Count: 8 (ongoing)

Series Summary from ANN:
Set in a family restaurant in Hokkaido, the northern prefecture of Japan, 16 year old high school student Takanashi Souta works part-time along with his strange co-workers: Taneshima Popura, a high school girl who's a year older than Souta who's easily mistaken for a elementary/middle schooler, and Shirafuji Kyoko the 28-year old store manager who doesn't bother to do any work at all.
Kenn's Comment: A favourite series of mine. It's great fun, and because it's a 4 koma, it makes for a great quick read. Those who watched the anime will know how great the series is. The anime does move a lot faster than the manga does (mainly because of omissions and what not) but is still a great adaptation.

Anywho, for those who follow the series, you might be wondering why Wagnaria!! is also in the title section. NIS America picked up the license for the anime series, but because there was apparently a sit-com in the 90's with an immensely similar title, they had to change the name to something else. At least it's not a bad name (like 明日のよいち! (Tomorrow's Yoichi) becoming Samurai Harem).

Now excuse me while I go back to playing AC:Brotherhood.
