Aggretsuko: Stress Explosion Elementary School Student Edition - Chapter 1
A year ago, Corocoro magazine uploaded the first chapter of an Aggretsuko manga called Aggretsuko: Stress Explosion Elementary School Edition. The manga explores Retsuko's childhood in elementary school and is basically a prequel to the shorts or the TV show. I found it to be as funny as most other stuff relating to the character and saw it as a relief that the artist ditched the idea of Retsuko suffering in an office. The primary school setting offers relatable struggles that kids can identify with as they laugh at Retsuko's responses to these mundane issues.
I wanted to translate the first chapter. But I thought I'd wait a while to do so. Since the chapter upload is a year old now, I saw nothing wrong with starting the translation process for it. I was also going through some serious things at the time and wanted to use this manga to get out some frustrations. It was a lot more refreshing than having a metal breakdown of my own.
Now that this is over with, I should get back to Pokémon Pocket Monsters DP. If you want to read the Japanese original for yourself, you can do it on Corocoro's website.
