4.0 out of 5 stars
Eerie & Disrturbing,
By
This review is from: The Drifting Classroom, Vol. 5 (Paperback)
Volume 4 continues this long, strange and dread-filled saga in fine fashion. The situations - i.e. what is scary aside from monsters and mutants?: answer: other people when they're under pressure - are keenly observed. After the epic BUDDHA and the utterly delightful YOTSUBA&! (a Japanese Calvin & Hobbes that I would recommend as a classic to any and everyone), DRIFTING CLASSROOM was my next managa series. Think LORD OF THE FLIES and you'll get the picture of social groupings run by children and how terrifying they can be. The series was first serialized in the early 1970s, so there are a few antiquated touches, such as sixth grade boys wearing shorts to school, but those elements do not detract from the eerie, unsettling proceedings. I respectfully disagree with the first reviewer: the series maintains a consistent tone and level of quality and invention.
