The boy who sits next to Yokoi in class, Seki-kun, is always up to something at his desk. He manages to somehow play very elaborate games without attracting the teacher's attention. From dominos, to shogi, to go, to mecha models, to playing with cats and more, he always has something new to do. Yokoi often finds herself getting reluctantly interested in his games, even though they always seem to end up getting HER in trouble with the teacher!
Wikipedia: The series follows a girl named Rumi Yokoi who is constantly distracted by her neighboring classmate, Toshinari Seki, as he indulges in elaborate hobbies and somehow never gets caught in the process.

Opening Credits of the Anime 'My Neighbor Seki'
My Views: The 21 episode - 7 minutes anime is an entertaining anime which shows how the protagonist Rumi Yokoi has to deal with her classmate Seki antics on a daily basis. Adding to these are the fact, both of them are back benchers which aids in Seki's elaborate hobbies. The antics by her neighbour Seki who is a perfectionist at whatever endevaour he puts his mind to, gets Rumi Yokoi absorbed in his story. Monica Rial has done an amazing job in the English Audio version in giving the voice to Rumi Yokoi whose internal monologues play a major part throughout the series.
