This charming and heartfelt new series, Small-Minded Schoolgirls, follows the adventures of a popular novelist and a chipper magazine writer. On the surface, Miru Na has it all: a blossoming career, a pretty face, and a ton of fans lining up to buy her books. But her personal life is devoid of that one special person. On the other hand, Somi Han has a boyfriend whom she's head over heels for. Yet her job drives her crazy, since she's stuck interviewing writers she can't stand—insult to injury—as she has always dreamed of becoming a novelist herself. Will life ever imitate art for Miru? Will Somi ever find a way to realize her passions? Come follow their adventures up and down the career ladder, through the literary world, and in love!

Poor Somi

Somi, you're a pretty girl and a good writer! Focus on your boyfriend who loves you, go back into your passion of writing fiction, and ignore the advances of your boss!
Hanechan, I hopee she doesn't go for him either. She's such a cool character, and so is Miru, I kind of want them to abandon their guy problems and become bffs. It's a long shot, but maybe this story will go on for a while :-) It's really fun, so I can hope!
I wonder how the characters are going to flesh out as the story goes on. I really hope that Somi doesn't go out with that old man!! Her boy friend is so good to her. The characters are crazy and quirky, and really fun to read about. I can't wait for the next volume!
Fun, well-written characters. And they're in color! Yay :-)

Aw, I really like Somi and Miru! I really enjoy when a series goes deep into a character and their thoughts, feelings, and past. I get the feeling that "Small-Minded Schoolgirls" is going to do just that. I think the setup of the pretty, successful writer who still isn't quite satisfied with her life, and the setup of the article writer/editor(?) with a decent personal life but a lacking career has a lot of potential for interesting growth individually, on both their parts. I also think it may make for an interesting frenemy relationship, since each one has something the other pines for. Anyway, yes, I think the drawings are very unique (as Toffee said below), and so is the coloring. I'm excited for more, and I have no doubt Toma will not disappoint one bit. Her work rocks!
I can't tell much about the characters just yet, but the first few chapters have grabbed my attention. Loved Toma's X Diary, and this one has a similar slice-of-life feel and unique drawing style that I love. Give me more!
well , the artwork is . . . different . . . perhaps the two main characters have somewhere to go . . . is this going to be Yuri? . . kinda short , under twenty pages for the quarter . . . try chap 3 , maybe . . . sigh . . .
