Caterpillar Girl and Bad Texter Boy

Caterpillar Girl and Bad Texter Boy

A manga about a socially awkward teenage boy who’s popular childhood friend transforms into a giant caterpillar monster.

We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.

I really enjoyed this book. It reads a bit like a dark fairytale and I really loved Sanzo’s simple but effective art. The design of the caterpillar monster was equally cute and creepy. If you want to read a bittersweet romance between a man and a monster, then this is a good book for you!

Available in English from Yen Press.
