#MangaMonday 89 βMaid to Skateβ by Suzushiro
Sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover.
This started off as a series of illustrations that went viral on social media and then was adapted into a #manga. It barely has a story, at least so far, mostly introducing us to the cast of maids and the world where time and geography are ambiguous, but the architecture is skate-friendly. The βmaidβ part is a bit hand-wavey (Iβm still not sure if the main setting is a house or a school) but the skating is taken very seriously both in and out of the story. One of the characters provides interstitial pages of #skateboarding basics.
This is really all about the art. Suzushiro has a keen grasp of both Victorian maid outfits and the mechanics of skateboarding. I have never seen a maid do a handstand in a skate park, but I have no doubt it would look the way itβs shown here.
Ongoing with one of two(?) volumes released in English (Viz.)
