Description
From Hebi-Zou, the creator of *Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo*, comes a new seralization in the weekly magazine *Morning*: an educational manga that’s fun for adults! Set in a STEM university, this story brings you wonderfully brainy, and yet wonderfully dumb experiments. A few examples include testing why a stuntman can safely be on fire, turning on a fluorescent light that’s gone out, making a model skeleton out of fried chicken, and finding out why February only has 28 days.
