About the Manga
Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the Skip and Loafer manga both digitally and in print in English. The series follows:
"Excellent student Iwakura Mitsumi has always dreamt about leaving her small town, going to a prestigious university, and making positive change in the world. But she's so focused on reaching her goals that she's not prepared for the very different (and overwhelming) city life that awaits her in a Tokyo high school. Luckily, she makes fast friends with Shima Sousuke, a handsome classmate who's as laid-back as she is over-prepared. Can this naive country girl make it big in Tokyo with Sousuke by her side?"
The first season of the anime premiered in April 2023 and was streamed by Crunchyroll as it aired in Japan.
Takamatsu launched the manga in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine in August 2018. The manga ranked #7 for male readers in the 2020 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! guidebook and received nominations in several prestigious awards, including the Manga Taisho and Kodansha Manga Awards in 2020.
