In the story with the kid whose lunch money was being stolen, for example, Sakamoto wouldn't help him until after he'd gotten a job. Some of the stories were also disturbing enough to make me question whether I have this series' genre wrong. I really wasn't a fan of the artwork, which was a little too stiff for my tastes. The characters looked just “off” enough that I was too busy being creeped out to enjoy this much. Instead, the humor generally fell flat, and the whole thing was weird in an uncanny valley sort of way. I figured it would be humorous and weird. I found out about this series via a review somewhere, and I was really excited about it. At any rate, the kid in that story was being bullied for his shoulder pads for some bizarre reason. There's also an extra story called “Broad Shoulders” that I think is unrelated to this series, but it's hard to tell because the main character looked an awful lot like Sakamoto. Sakamoto, a new and popular student, coolly and calmly deals with jealous bullies, a wasp, a kid who keeps getting bullied for his lunch money, a scheming girl who wants to make him her boyfriend, and a guy who uses him and other students as his slaves.
