サルヤマっ！ [Saruyama! / Monkey High!]

In the pages of Shogakukan's Betsucomi magazine, Monkey High! (2005–2008) is a lively shōjo manga series that blends high school romance with a playful monkey-themed metaphor. Written and illustrated by Shizuru Seino, the 8-volume story follows the spirited but socially awkward Amu as she navigates a new school, where her classmates are divided into cliques named after primates. The series stands out for its lighthearted, energetic art and its gentle exploration of first love and self-acceptance within a quirky, animal-inspired social hierarchy.
