7th Period is a Secret is a short story consisting of three chapters. The last two chapters are one shots and are not related to main chapters.

I started reading this with some expectations for it, but I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong though; for such a short manga, 7th Period is a Secret was actually quite good. The story is about a high school girl who was an outcast at her previous school. She transfers to a new school, determined to be popular, while hiding her true personality within her. She deceives all but her teacher, who shows ...

Mixed Feelings

As a three chapter story, 7th Period is a Secret is obviously very short and intended for just a quick read. It portrays a common struggle of fitting in that many teenagers face in today's society, and teaches a little lesson while it's at it as well. 7th Period is a short and sweet manga that doesn't delve too deep, but gives enough of a story to satisfy.

Story: 6
The story is very slice of life, and the inner struggles and actions of the main character, Shun, to fit in is something that many people would easily go through in their real life ... growing up. As she struggles to fit in, she distances herself in the process, defeating the entire purpose of having everyone like her; this is how the story begins. As she begins to question her choices, her involvement with the other main character helps her to see what's really important. Yes, if you couldn't tell, the story is very cliche and standard, but it's still sweet. Don't expect anything big; I'd like to emphasize the point that this series is very short, and as such, keep that in mind while reading the remainder of the review.

Art: 8
The art is pretty well defined and nice to look at, but can get somewhat clustered at times. It's a style that almost is reminiscent of One Piece, with overly large and round eyes, and lanky body frames. The inclusion of backgrounds in many of the frames is a nice touch, but it is somewhat distracting and takes your attention from the main action a bit. Also, many of the characters are hard to distinguish, so it can be easy to get lost at times. Overall, it's not too bad though, and I found the way in which the main character was drawn to be rather appealing. There are a few awkward body angles here and there, but nothing too major.

Character: 4
There are only two main characters in 7th Period, supplemented by three minor ones, and a stock class environment. The development for the main character, Shun, isn't too bad for three chapters, and she provides a decent message to the reader through her efforts. Shun could almost be seen as a very slight tsunderekko, however, the inner look at her personal emotions and struggles makes it so that her development avoids this, and although her emotions are a bit rushed, they are understandable and easy to relate to. Beyond that, don't expect too much.

Enjoyment: 7
I picked this series up as just a little something to read during some down time, and it provided me with a decent, realistic, if shallow, story, and kept me entertained for about 10-20 minutes. I didn't go in expecting anything big, just a nice short story, and that's exactly what I got.

Overall: 6
Really, there's nothing too big involving 7th Period. It'll probably take you less time to read it than download it. As a 3 chapter slice-of-life manga, it is appropriately satisfying. If you're bored and are just looking for a quick fix to kill some time, check out 7th Period. Even if you do find that it wasn't to your taste, it's so short that it really doesn't matter.

Score: 25/40; 62.5%
I won't give this series a letter grade based on percentage, since it's too short to really be graded in the same way as longer manga series.

Preliminary (3/5 eps)

Great, another story about a girl who learns to be herself, not who others want her to be, and the teacher who taught her this by falling in love with her. It's a theme that's been done before, and well, but this was just stereotypical waff.
