Friday at the Atelier Volume 1: Saury

With about as weird and abrupt a start as you could imagine, Friday at the Atelier volume 1 is a story that... develops, into a mix between a slice of life and romance only after office worker Emiko Tamaki voices her desire to have a final meal of saury before she chooses to die.

It's eccentric, odd, and it certainly plays into the surreal nature of the world that Tamaki finds herself gravitating towards- but is perhaps a manga that won't find a massive audience over here.

A sort of mixed bag of subdued expectations, this first volume does well to set the tone for the future, and provides would-be readers with a lot of content to take in- which I take about in more detail in the full review at Animehouse.

The saying goes, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We prove it every week here on Reader’s Corner, but rarely more so than in this edition, when we show beauty in tengu love; explain how a beautiful and admirable lead does not a good spin-off make; and explain how a provocative title and cover made hide a sweet love story. All that, plus the newest volumes of hit series like Issak, Bocchi the Rock!, and Handyman Saitou in Another World; the final release of the Ningen Fushin manga; and more on this week’s Reader’s Corner!
