During the summer holiday, Xie Yu joins his friend in a street fate and has a fateful encounter with a handsome youth. It turns out to be He Zhao, whose exam scores place first while Xie Yu places second… From the bottom that is.

When the second year begins, the students of class 2-3 are terrified out of their minds, because the violent tyrants are in the same class. Not only that… their seats end up being next to each other! They are surely going to fight

But appearances aren’t always as they seem…

I love the novel this has been adapted from. I believe I have read Fake Slackers 3 or 4 times in a year. So, you know, I really love this one as well. It’s currently on a break so the creators of the adaptation can make the next volume, which isn’t a problem for me because I’ve already read the story so much I know it pretty much by heart.

I can see how it would be frustrating to others, especially since it’s pretty much at the very beginning of the story and the first volume is only 12 chapters, but at the same time, I think it’s only fair they get a break. I think the art is excellent and the way how the people in the Question King app get chibi characters is so nice. The translation seems slightly iffy, though, with some variations in screen names and so on. Nonetheless, it’s good, and so far I’d recommend this, and the novel alike.
