Hi Score Girl DASH

Sequel to Hi Score Girl that follows Koharu Hidaka who is teaching at her old middle school.

We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.

The original Hi Score Girl was an early favorite for our podcast. Rensuke Oshikiri combined eccentric information about 1980-1990 Japanese arcade culture into a wacky romantic comedy. The original series had a miraculous return after a lawsuit and even went on to have a fun anime adaptation.

This sequel that focuses on Hidaka is such a slow burn. Hidaka hides her fighting game skills to her students for such a long time. There are some comedic bits with the character Doi, who is now also a teacher alongside Hidaka, but Oshikiri focuses on the next generation of characters and I just don’t find them interesting. This isn’t a bad manga by any standards but as a sequel to a series I really enjoy, I’m not fully convinced that this needed to exist. Hopefully it will get better soon.
