Hidamari Sketch > POWER GAP > GA > Sketchbook

Sketchbook is barely even about art. GA is the most about art actually, with Hidamari Sketch in the middle. I actually liked the Sketchbook manga more than the anime. I think the gag comedy aspect fits it a lot better than the relaxing side the anime focused on. I haven't seen the GA manga, just read the manga. But Hidamari Sketch is one of my favorite anime period. I wish we'd get a new chapter already. It's been like 9 months.

As much as I love the other two, Hidamari is still easily my favorite.

Good point, especially with how big the cast is. Ryoufu and Kate still get me every time though. It definitely taught me a lot about insects.

I take it you meant anime in the first part. I've only read a few later chapters right after watching the series, because the early chapters were all adapted pretty much 1:1. It does a good job with the fantasy sequences, but it feels like it's missing something the manga does better. It's still plain fun.

If you liked the manga, have you read Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro? I'm going to read it this summer when I've finished a few other things.

I have read Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro. I recall binging it though and it didn't grip me all that much. I'll probably try rereading it slower this time. I've been rereading some stuff recently and seeing if reading them too quickly impacted my enjoyment.

Kuro is Kiyuduki's magnum opus. everyone should read it.

I love them all, but Hidamari Sketch is my favorite of the three.

Geijutsuka. Kisaragi is cute, CUTE!

GA is one of my all time favorites, both anime and manga.
I love the Sketchbook anime too, but thought the manga was kind of insufferable.
The Hidamari anime is great, but I thought it kind of sagged in the later seasons (season 3 really, 4 is fine). Never read the manga since I usually don't read things that are still ongoing.

I can understand finding the Sketchbook manga insufferable. It's largely anti-humor, but I like it because of that. The Hidarmari Sketch manga should be ending soon in terms of chapter count but it's been 9 months since the last chapter so that slows things down a lot.
