Girls' School Star 1

Description

Awesome students and a formidable homeroom teacher, their quirky and lovely daily stories.

2nd grade, 4th class at a girls' school. Students who tidy their bangs, students who secretly draw comics, and students who doze openly. In the lively and realistic classroom of high school girls, there is a teacher who is far from lively. Consistently expressionless and stern, polite speech. With Teacher Hoshi, the homeroom teacher of class 2, 4nd grade, seemingly formidable, the pranks of high school girls begin, not knowing where they will lead.

1st period, ending of the mystery picture.
The ending to the mysterious picture in the class journal. The picture on the first day is a smartphone (スマホ). The second day was a mysterious one. The last day was squid (ikaika). Although Hoshi doesn't think he will get caught up in the students' trivial pranks, as a renowned Korean language teacher, he wants to guess the second day's words that start with 'ho' and end with 'i'.

2nd period, career counseling in times of crisis.
Hoshi points out a student who is secretly drawing comics during class. But what bothers me more than anything else is the characters in the student's cartoon who are dying one after another. 'I want to hear your opinion!' After reading a study comic with an unpredictable plot, Hoshi is torn between realistic advice and support.

3rd period, a dinner party I don’t remember.
It's been a while since I had a dinner with a fellow teacher sitting next to me. Hoshi said he would only drink one drink, but he started to get drunker, and as the alcohol started to increase, only sorry memories kept coming to mind. ‘You hate me, right? It's just a nuisance, and it's always ticking.' And there is a student who happened to witness this...

4th period, bazooka attack.
A student submitted a diary and class notes by mistake. As if opening Pandora's box, Hoshi reads all of the student's diaries and returns them with a special comment. And a few days later, the student who discovered the diary finds a note passed around the classroom and faces the biggest crisis of his life as a teacher. 'How about shooting a bazooka when Mr. Hoshi enters the classroom?'

“I want to draw someone who may not be a 100% good person, but would be nice to have around.”
The world of Wayama Yama, which makes ordinary everyday life just a little bit special.

Wayama Yama's first full-length comic, 『Girl's School Star』, which captivated Japanese and Korean readers with his debut work 『I'm Falling for You』, has been published. Her name was listed in 『This Manga is Amazing!』 for two consecutive years, and interest poured in from all walks of life, such as famous actors and singers, and she is creating a new generation in the Japanese comics industry beyond her debut work.

At the center of Wayama Yama's work, which has garnered such surprising popularity and interest, is none other than the trivial 'daily life'. 『Stars of Girls' School』 begins with the narration 'A ridiculous story from a girls' school' and depicts the absurd pranks and jokes of students and teachers. A caption to a picture, a teacher's nickname, and a study comic drawn secretly during class. The author turns ordinary everyday life, which somehow feels like his own story, into a special moment with his unique humor and imagination.

“I think a 100% good person is unnatural, so I try to add a little bit of an angular side to the character. However, I tried to draw a person who thought, ‘I wish there were people like this around me.’” (Bungeishunchu Online, from an interview on July 2021, 7)

'People I want to be around.' The author introduces the characters in 『Stars of Girls' School』 as follows. Students who are not pretty or kind, but are always ready to do crazy pranks. Although he is not a ‘passionate teacher’, he is a teacher who is not indifferent to each and every student. Let’s relax our shoulders and go to school where they are waiting.
