Teen Book Review: D-Frag by Tomoya Haruno



Summary:

 
"D-Frag " is a new ongoing manga series that parodies high school clubs, nerd culture, and the slice-of-life genre in a side-splittingly hilarious storyline. For fans of manga series about otaku-centric high school clubs like "Haganai: I Don't Have Many Friends, Genshiken," or "The""Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, ""D-Frag " has the last laugh, as it satirizes the genre like never before.

Kazama Kenji thinks he's a delinquent. He's got the look, the style and the attitude to match--he even has a second-rate entourage of sorts. Deep down, however, Kazama is a good-hearted kid who finds himself and his loyal gang in over their heads when they stumble upon the Game Creation Club. The club's formidable members, Chitose, Sakura, Minami, and Roka, are four girls who he might actually be attracted to if they weren't so freaking weird.

The girls claim to have otherworldly powers which they use to defeat Kazama's gang and force him to join their offbeat club. Can Kazama resist the girls' bizarre charms and return to some semblance of a normal, everyday life...or is it "game over" for our hapless hero?

 

Teen Review:

 
D-Frag is an excellent manga series and you should read it. Why? Because the characters, story and adventure in the first volume alone will leave you wanting more. In the first book an upcoming gang at a Japanese high school enter the Game Dev. Club looking to swipe some games. This does not go well for them and their leader is sucked into a world of gaming and make-believe. If you are a fan of manga or are looking to get into it D-Frag is the one for you.
