Review: モブサイコ100 3

モブサイコ100 3 モブサイコ100 3 by ONE
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This series continues to be extremely enjoyable and such a blast to read. If you’re ever in a bad mood all you have to do is pick up this series and it’ll cheer you right up. It’s not some super cheery happy-go-lucky series in any sense, it just has this charm to it that never fails to pick me up and put me in a better mood than I was in before reading it.

This volume wraps up the Teruki/Mob debacle and foreshadows its consequences. We start to see more of and learn more about Mob’s brother Ritsu, and along with that comes the introduction of the Psychic Awakening Lab. This volume was very primarily composed of set-up for several events to come soon—probably in the next volume—but was nonetheless its usual fun time to read due to its constant flow of charm and humour.

I’m really wondering now as to why I’ve rated the first two volumes only four stars, for this manga is easily one of the greats. But then I think back on this volume, and how I feel like it’s only four stars, and that’s how I must have felt for the previous volumes as well. I think I’m waiting for a volume to really blow me out of the water in order for me to finally bump up the rating into five star territory. Having watched the anime I know that there are lots of great things to come, so I’m not worried at all on that front.


Please consider giving this review a "Like" if you've made it this far, it helps me out a lot! And follow me if you want more!

Review: 寄宿学校のジュリエット（３）

寄宿学校のジュリエット（３） by 金田陽介 My rating: 5 of 5 stars Brb, crying. Not actually, though. Like, I didn’t shed any actual tears or even get close to it, it’s just that this series… is so good . The romance between Romeo and Juliet is still weirdly innocent, but the actual story is so engrossing and entertaining. It also seems like almost literally every single character is complex and interesting and multi-layered. (Only the background characters like Maru’s lackeys are undeveloped, but honestly they really don’t need any development anyway.) The relationships between characters keep getting more and more complex, and the situations that the characters have to deal with are also super juicy. This is such an addicting series. My initial problem with Romeo and Juliet’s relationship was that it seemed pretty unhealthy and one-sided to me. Later, I found it very weird how sexually immature they both are, and how un-intimate their relationship is. What is interest...

Review: Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War

Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War by Linda F. McGreevy My rating: 0 of 5 stars This is a very unique and interesting academic text. There are no other examinations of the German artist Otto Dix, his war experience, and his war-related art that are quite as in-depth as this one, while also covering a wide range of different aspects and angles of not only the artist's story, but also the Great War's. I used this as a source for a University research essay I wrote on the effects of Dix's war experience on the creation and effects of his painting Skat Players (1920). I was very late in starting my research so I unfortunately had to stick to only reading the information I could use for my own examination, rather than being able to devour this book in its entirety. However, the library requires this book be returned at the end of January of next year, so I have some time now to actually finish this book since the semester has finished...

Review: Spells & Sleeping Bags

Spells & Sleeping Bags by Sarah Mlynowski My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book was infuriating. Miri was super annoying during book 2, but she started this book off with some funny burns toward Rachel which made me think maybe she would be better in this book. Ha. No. She wasn’t. Miri. Oh Miri Miri Miri. So dumb. And it was annoying how it seemed like she didn’t even learn anything from the last book. She’s still all about saving the world and whatnot and being a dumbass. And she talked about poofing up money to help her help people, which is extremely illogical because she knows that poofing up money means she’s stealing money from somewhere else. Way to “help” out the world you fucking idiot. For the majority of this book I reckon she was under some kind of “emotion amplifying” spell but honestly that’s no excuse since she’s still her dumbass self. (view spoiler) [Her figuring out that Fake Rachel wasn’t real Rachel was nice and all but felt a bit...
