My Neighbor Seki Series

The ABC’s of Diversions

Seki’s desktop renovation is fit for a TV show. He adds turf just to create crop circles, and lures beetles and cicadas… until a larger predator shows up. Seki’s building a kaiju with a secret inside for the school fair. And can Rumi rescue Jun’s doll from the path of vigilantism…?

Desktop Distractions

Seki transforms himself into an old lady selling cheap candy, an avant garde artist who uses a very unusual medium, and even a marionette who mimics his own antics in miniature. Will Seki’s artistic abilities land him a job as a manga artist?

Classroom Clowning

Seki creates a new twist on a board game, crafts his own version of a jack-in-the-box, and invents a machine that recycles eraser scraps that ends up being a little too perfectly entertaining. But Yokoi discovers that the most distracting game of all involves toys that are completely invisible!

Holiday Hijinks

Seki Claus doesn’t care if you are naughty or nice, cause he’ll be making a stop in his classroom to quietly make reindeer games. But if Rumi Yokoi gets her holiday wish he might get caught in the process.

School Day Shenanigans

Seki’s complicated games manage to distract Rumi… even when he’s absent from school. Not only does Seki try to literally rewrite history, he performs surgery (on stuffed animals), and brings live creatures to cooking class. Meanwhile, Rumi focuses on saving the Earth itself.

Globe-trotting Goof

Seki, Rumi and the rest are on a school trip. But even with so much to see and do, Seki continues to look for ways to goof around. Rumi is not going to miss the opportunity to keep him in check.

Yokoi can’t seem to stop Seki’s increasingly creative contraptions from grabbing her attention and making her own imagination wander away in the middle of class. And at one point, Yokoi find herself in a very unexpected place indeed…

A Quiet Storm

After putting up with so many distractions from her classroom neighbor Seki, Rumi Yokoi quietly begins to assert her will on a number of Seki’s games.

Imaginative Friends

Every day is a new surprise at the back of Rumi Yokoi’s classroom. And she is consistently being inconvenienced by her neighbor Seki, at least he hasn’t been caught… Or so she thought. Apparently someone else has noticed Yokoi and Seki back there, and this person can only imagine what that pair are conspiring.

“My Neighbor Seki is undoubtedly a charming read, and one that’s both quick and light. Morishige’s artwork is solid and he does a great job at making some of Seki’s ridiculous actions look fantastic.” – Sequential Ink

Toshinari Seki takes goofing off to new heights. Every day, on or around his school desk, he masterfully creates his own little worlds of wonder, often hidden to most of his classmates. Unfortunately for Rumi Yokoi, his neighbor at the back of their homeroom, his many games, dioramas, and projects are often way too interesting to ignore; even when they are hurting her grades.
