To that end, she has gone so far as to map out her entire life ahead of time, but all of her preparation flies out the window on the first day of school.Mitsumi misses her train stop and is about to be late to the entrance ceremony, which is especially troublesome because she is supposed to give a speech as the new students' representative. While lamenting her situation, Sousuke Shima—a handsome first-year student who is also late—sees her and offers to walk with her to school. They eventually make it to school, although Mitsumi has some unfortunate accidents soon after that leave a less-than-favorable impression on everyone. In spite of her misfortune, her classmates soon take notice of Mitsumi and Sousuke's chemistry, despite their differing personas.With the new year already off to an interesting start, Mitsumi is eager to get to know her classmates better and get involved at her school. Only time will tell if this country bumpkin can make it in the city, but one thing has become certain: she definitely will not be alone on her journey![Written by MAL Rewrite]Background_Skip to Loafer_ won the 47th Kodansha Manga Award in the General category in 2023.The series has been published in English as Skip and Loafer by Seven Seas Entertainment since August 10, 2021. It has also been released in Spanish by Milky Way Ediciones since May 31, 2022.Related Entries  MALxJapan -More than just anime- Characters Reviews  Jun 28, 2024 RecommendedPreliminary (58/? eps) This manga is so beautiful and I want to MARRY it and all the characters within. Art: 10It is cute and fuzzy and has a unique appeal. I love the expressiveness, which just makes the characters come alive (instead of the characters looking pretty but only having 3 expressions). Characters: 10Speaking of the characters, I LOVE how all of them are developed and treated humanely, even the side characters. Especially Mika, who is just so relatable with her insecurities and how she is so distinctly aware of her own shortcomings. The main duo have a cute dynamic, good chemistry, and their relationship is developed at... a decent pace (slice of life after all). But what makes this manga shine is the female friendships depicted. Alot of shojuo/josei? (i fogor) put focus on the FL and her romance issues, and then giving her a best friend who is just,, there. BUTT this manga doesn't, even makes me wish that I had better friends/was a better friend. The main character is not really relatable (to me), her being ambitious, hardworking, smart yet airheaded, but she is still lovable and makes you want to root for her either way. All the characters have flaws, but they're all so likeable and relatable. Story: 10I love the slice of life aspect of this manga, how it does not revolve around drama, but life. The main character is actually depicted studying, and i'm glad the story doesn't forget that school and grades exist. It is slow paced (as slice of life does), but it's interesting enough.Overall, if you like well developed characters, slow pace and just cuteness all around, read this. (and if you dont, you should still read this) (please) Reviewer’s Rating: 10 What did you think of this review?

I've never felt so deeply affected by the rise and draw of the emotions the characters feel, and not just the main characters. I usually do not feel that interested in side characters - but when they are written well and you can be transported into their lives, the universe in which the main characters live in becomes very tangible. To me, these are real people that I am experiencing life with. I am also learning so much about a more positive perspective. I truly love... this manga.

This is one of the most consistently engaging and well-rounded dramas I have ever read and is an easy 10/10 for me. Although I would not call the art flawless, the character designs are stand-outs in how excellent they are. All of the characters, ESPECIALLY the main girls, look unique and do a great job of reflecting their individual characters. It is not just the diversity in body types, hair colors, and clothing styles, but their faces are all... unique as well -- you will never see the same exact face copy-pasted onto different hair colors here. But of course the writing and characters are the main draws here and they are always top-notch. Every character is realistic, believable, and multifaceted, and it always delivers these tightly constructed narrative arcs with satisfying conclusions every time. I find almost all of the characters in this manga to be very relatable in at least a few key ways which is a testament to how human the writing always is. I will continue to eagerly anticipate each new chapter release because Skip and Loafer can only go up from here. And while I hope this manga doesn't end anytime soon, I'm excited to see what else the young Takamatsu Misaki does with the rest of her career because she reminds me of a junior Chica Umino, only a bit more level-headed, and I mean that in the best way possible in regards to them both.
