Mogusa-san

A manga about a high school girl who secretly snacks throughout the school day.

Love this series. It’s such a lighthearted slice of life series. The titular character Mogusa loves eating so much that she has to constantly eat during class or risk her thunderous tummy rumble from happening. There’s so many unique ways she conceals her snacking as well. She’ll hide a giant portion of rice inside her dictionary cover or concealing 4 pieces of candy in her mouth without changing her face.

It is slightly bothersome that the premise of the series is about a girl who can’t enjoy food because she doesn’t want to seem like a glutton and that unto itself reflects sexist expectations for women. But as the series goes on Mogusa learns to accept her large appetite and open up to her friends about it, which helps.
