Commentary
Miho-chan is a 1st grade elementary school student who doesn't want to go to school. The reason for this is Masuda, the boy who sits in the seat next to her, who Miho-chan sees as a monster. This work uses manga techniques including speech bubbles and panel layouts to realistically depict children's feelings.
