Synopsis

Having recently moved from her small backwater town in Ishikawa Prefecture to attend a prestigious high school in Tokyo, Mitsumi Iwakura plans on using her high school career as a launchpad for her dream of going to law school and becoming a public servant; however, she also recognizes the need to occasionally have fun and make friends. 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!

Preliminary (33/? eps)
Now, this is my first review on this site and so expect some amateurishly written opinions on what you will read ahead.

(Other reviews have already mentioned the important details so I'll keep this one short)

Skip to Loafer is a manga that leaves an impression on your diverse range of manga lists. It's unique and realistic. It gives the readers benefits and raises their standards for the future Josei-and-Seinen-genre manga that they will read ahead. So Don't Skip on it just because the cover and premise may irk you. Try the first chapter and see if it's to your liking. Truly a hidden gem.

Preliminary (17/? eps)
The most solid slice-of-life coming-of-age rom-com of its generation.

The main character is a lovably pure-hearted idiot whose charming presence brings out the good nature in any metropolitan cynic in her new school. It's her naive, (mostly) well-intended, and honest struggle that gives this series the humorous tone to make all the dramatic parts digestible, fun, and addictive. It's hard not to root for everybody to do well.
And although most of everybody keeps on their good side, every character gets rounded with their own set-backs: delusional narcissism, manipulative tendencies, two-faced demeanor, social anxiety, workaholism, bad fashion sense, being too damn beautiful and popular. All without splitting ...

Preliminary (22/? eps)
This work deserves so much more recognition and praise. To echo what the other reviewer said, this is a solid coming-of-age shoujo work.

The story follows Iwakura Mitsumi's highschool journey moving from the countryside to Tokyo with an ambition to enter a prestigious university and enter the public service workforce. Mitsumi is honest, hardworking, and a little naïve (in a good way). The story portrays an honest and multifaceted view of highschool life: childhood dreams/aspirations, new budding friendship, first love/romance, self-doubt, self-growth, and every other million things that come during our adolescent years. It truly depicts the nostalgia of high school life but also sheds light ...
