Please tell me! Galko-chan

At first glace this looks like a manga that asks pervy questions to the main characters for titillation but this series is actually about the thoughtful relationships between friends. The characters are all given nicknames that label them but the manga goes out of the way to subvert those stereotypes. 

Galko-chan herself may embrace her gal-style appearance but she’s actually very thoughtful and kind. Unlike her flashy looks she’s quite pure and innocent. I really liked how she was best friends with an otaku girl and rich elite as well.

This book doesn’t shy away from titillation but the characters seemed to be written from a place of love and care. Also it’s rare to find a color manga!

Really liked this manga. It’s available in English from Seven Seas Entertainment and I highly recommend it!
