Fans of anarchic slice-of-life gag manga like Azumanga Daioh - these are the new laughs you've been waiting for! Yoshiko is a hopefully clueless high school girl. Her rock-paper-scissors strategy is "rock." She somehow gets zeroes on multiple-choice tests. And she has an often-nearly-fatal weakness for bananas. Her devoted friends have no choice...

I'm With Stupid -- These are just some of the impenetrable mysteries in Yoshiko Hanabatake's life: Why is her best friend Akkun always angry? Why does she keep getting zeros on her tests? Why do bananas taste so good? For one as enlightened as she, the answers are irrelevant. And yet her total obliviousness may prove to be a liability as the forces around her struggle for supremacy. Or, actually, she'll probably be fine.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does -- Summer break has arrived, and with it come expanded opportunities for Yoshiko to practice self-expression.

Stupidity Goes on Tour
The time has come for that hallmark of high school life: the school trip. Yoshiko's class will be visiting the balmy southern isle of Okinawa. Yoshiko's deeply interested in the fascinating history and culture of the Okinawan islands, so she's excited to go. Nah, just kidding, she doesn't even know where Okinawa is, and she's only excited because some fool told her there were good bananas there. Classic Yoshiko.

Yoshiko Saves Christmas -- Yoshiko isn't merely stupid. She isn't just a fool. Her foolishness transcends boundaries and borders-she is a genius, a savant of stupidity. Her ability is so profound it can make the simplest activity-reading comics with a friend-into a lascivious voyage into the heart of darkness. Or maybe she's just not very good at reading. The point is, just don't tell her that Santa doesn't exist. She might resort to drastic measures....

Sleepyhead -- Getting out of bed on time is a challenge for anyone. But getting Yoshiko out of bed on the first day of the new school year isn't just a challenge for Akkun-it's his Everest, his northwest passage, his white whale. Or at least, that's what Yoshiko's decided it's going to be. She's determined to kick the school year off in style, and if that means provoking her old friend beyond the point of sanity, well-nobody can accuse her of being...

There's Not An App For That
