The piece notes the work's similarity to Gangi Mari's 'Imouto wa Shitteiru'.
The second week of August brings a school manga special to the Amazon Manga Weekend Festival, running August 14-16 with 50% points back on all volumes of eligible titles. ASCII.jp's pick is Yamano Eisei's 'Samuwan Herutsu', a Jump series about a serious student council president who has spent three years sending gag emails to a comedy duo's radio show without getting one accepted.
The column draws a parallel to Gangi Mari's 'Imouto wa Shitteiru', another current series built around a radio post craftsman, and suggests the timing points to an active radio post community. In 'Samuwan Herutsu', the gag submissions carry a heat closer to sports or battle manga, which the piece calls fresh for a Jump title. The author has to make the posted content genuinely funny for the story to work, and the column credits the gags and small conversations as excellent.
The story follows Fukurou Mori Mei, whose classmate Mizuo Kurage turns out to be the famous contributor under the radio name 'Unagi Potato'. The two become both listener friends and rivals as Mei searches for material. All four volumes are available, with the latest volume at a reduced points rate.
