Ellis loves popcorn. Who doesn't? But one day her school goes on a healthy eating campaign and her dads decide to follow suit, banning all snack foods from their house, INCLUDING POPCORN. Unfair.

One kernel refuses to pop, and soon it's sprouted a face, arms, and legs! He introduces himself as Popcorn Bob, and he is NOT in a good mood. (Ever, really.) He's absolutely ravenous, and no amount of food keeps him from being hangry. Bob causes no end of chaos for Ellis, and she decides to rid herself of him once and for all, except...she actually starts to like him.

Book Description
Silly Times at Sanada North High They were teenagers living the humdrum life of Japanese high school boys. By day, they were a four-eyed geek with daddy issues, a ditzy goofball who can’t stop saying “surreal,” and…another boy who barely shows up in the story, but when the final school bell rang, they were…still those people. Enjoy more rollicking inanity as Tadakuni, Yoshitake, and Hidenori continue to experience adolescent awkwardness, antiquated can-based games, and more—all backed by a killer rock score (in your head). To the outside world, their lives were simply absurd marks on paper that some may call “manga,” but to each other, this was simply The Daily Lives of High School Boys.
