Title: 笑って! 外村さん / Waratte! Sotomura-san / Smile! Sotomura-san Artist: 水森みなも / Minamori Minamo Volumes: 3 (ongoing) More info: Mangaupdates

Waratte! Sotomura-san is a project of Wonderland Translations.

Summary

Sotomura is a high-school girl widely regarded as a delinquent, feared and avoided by many of the school body. From her light-brown hair down to her long skirt and harsh manner of speaking, she completely seems the part. But after Sotomura rescues a girl named Haruno from some bullies, Haruno decides to try to get to know her better. Haruno is surprised to find out that Sotomura isn't a delinquent at all and is, in fact, just a very socially awkward girl that's bad with words and wants to make friends. She enjoys cooking, handicrafts, and hitting the supermarket sales. She also loves cute and fancy things, but she tries to hide that fact because she feels they don't suit her looks. Haruno's first step in helping Sotomura is to try to teach her how to smile, because whenever she tries, it ends up as a scary grin. Thus begins the story of Sotomura's attempts to make new friends.

Characters:

Sotomura Natsuki: The spitting image of a delinquent, Sotomura wears a long skirt and has light brown hair. When she tries to smile, it comes more as a frightening grin. She's also bad with words, causing lots of misunderstandings. In reality, she's actually a very gentle girl that loves handicrafts and cooking.

Haruno: A cheerful, friendly girl that Sotomura saves from some bully girls one day. After approaching Sotomura and learning that she wants to have friends, Haruno starts giving her smiling lessons on the rooftop.

Satou: The class rep. Likes handicrafts. She's afraid of Sotomura but unknowingly shares many common interests with her.

Sotomura Touma: Natsuki's younger brother. Shares many interests with his older sister and respects and admires her.

Mikumo: A transfer student from Osaka. Mikumo loves comedy and attempts to get Sotomura to laugh.

Sotomura's Mother: Frequently out-of-town on business. She's a former delinquent who is afraid to tell her daughter that fact.

Yukari: A girl that admires Sotomura and wants to become her underling.
