High
School has its dangers. At Harry Herpson High School, book reports may be the
worst. The prospect worries Morty when Mrs White challenges the class to visit
the library, pick a book, and contemplate the characters, ideas, and themes the
author raised. Thankfully, there’s a new girl in class to take his mind off his
fear of reading and writing. Chigusa is a Japanese exchange student. She enjoys
treating her fellow students to a suplex. But she seems to like Morty. Can
Chigusa help Morty overcome his fear of book reports? And how will the new girl
shape Morty’s school year?
Here's all the info from Oni Press:
RICK AND MORTY: THE MANGA VOL. 2: AFTER-SCHOOL SCIENCE CLUB SC |
|
WRITTEN BY JOSH TIERNEY ART/COVER BY JEYODIN From two of the hottest creators in the American manga scene—writer Josh Tierney (World Piece, Iris Complex) and artist JeyOdin (Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1: Get in the Robot, Morty!; Hammer)—comes a story of teen love, school pride, and extracurricular international warfare in Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol 2: After-School Science Club! Morty falls in love at first sight with the new exchange student from Japan—Chigusa—and when she shows him her favorite manga about after-school clubs, he knows just the advisor for his hastily constructed new Science Club: Rick Sanchez. With his ragtag group of teen losers (plus Chigusa) and a cursory knowledge of Japanese school clubs he picked up from skimming Morty’s manga, Rick leads the club in a competition against the preexisting, sanctioned, totally normal Science Club, creating a portal to Akihabara, nexus of anime and manga culture, and famous home of Tokyo’s maid cafés. Brimming with inspiration from their trip (and chased out of the country by the maids who have turned on Rick) the Science Club prepares for their school festival with a maid café of their own making—a science maid café selling questionable concoctions . . .
