■It's been a truly horrible day! And it's only Monday?
“Have you ever had a week where nothing but terrible things happened?”

Today is Justin's first day of school, meeting new friends at his new school.
Because my mom remarried a new dad who resembles a vampire, I decided to spend weekdays at my dad's house.
It's the first day, so he wants to make a good impression on his classmates, but things don't go his way.
His father, an avid plumber, had converted his car into a giant toilet for promotional purposes, and dropped Justin off at the school gate in the car.
Because of this, Justin receives excessive attention from the entire school from the moment he first appears.
Plus, I have a bad stomachache and fart loudly in class, and when I rush to the bathroom, there's no toilet paper.
It's the day of swimming class, so I try to change my image by swimming confidently, but the worst thing that I can't bring myself to reveal happens at the pool...

The events Justin goes through throughout Monday are horrific, but they're portrayed in a warm and ingenious tone, making them humorous.
Justin is a very ordinary kid who shares the same name as the world-famous pop star Justin Chase, but is not as successful as the famous singer.
But Justin has a family that loves him.
It's a bit confusing and awkward, but it's also fun to watch how the relationship between Mia, a kind new friend, and Marvin, the hapless student body president, develops.
The story leaves a clue that Captain Fat, the cat Justin is raising, may have been kidnapped by aliens, making the plot of the sequel even more intriguing.
Justin's week is only just beginning, so how much funnier will the rest of the week be?

■ Insanely funny humor and illustrations that will have you picking up the book without even realizing it

Even children who have a prejudice that books are difficult and boring will not be able to hold back laughter after watching the "The Worst Week of My Life" series.
Cartoon illustrations are included throughout to reduce the burden on children who have difficulty reading long texts.
This series serves as a stepping stone from educational comics full of dazzling color illustrations to text books.
The humor sprinkled throughout, such as the scene where the food that caused the stomachache is solved as if it were a criminal suspect, or the scene where a difficult math problem is expressed as if it were indecipherable Egyptian hieroglyphs, makes the reader laugh out loud as if he were reading a comic book.
With so many absurd incidents involving toilets and urinals, you might want to avoid reading this during mealtimes! But don't worry if you don't appreciate toilet humor.
Iva and Matt draw the scene with witty compositions that make it fun for anyone to read.
This is a book that can entertain children who are tired of the hamster wheel-like daily routine at school and academies.
