Review: モブサイコ100 5

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

Alert: Mob and Teru have entered the building. I repeat: Mob and Teru have entered the building . What building, you ask? Well I’m not in the business of spoiling people so you’ll just have to read the volume to find out. ;)

Randomness aside: This volume is full of fights at (view spoiler) headquarters, and of the whole crew being badass. “The whole crew” being inclusive of Mob, Teru, Ritsu, and even Dimple and the Awakening Lab kids to an extent. It’s so satisfying seeing Teru be powerful and not an asshole. It feels like usually when reformed baddies are added to the good-guy-squad they get disappointingly nerfed, so it felt real good to see him continue to be powerful and great and best-character-material. Same thing for Dimple, actually! It was cool seeing him have his little fight as well. All the fights between all the lads were quite satisfying during this volume, if I’m to be honest.

Shou (the ginger twerp who works with Claw who is powerful but doesn’t have a scar (that we know of)) is introduced in this volume, and I’m super excited to learn more about him! He seems really interesting, like what’s up with this random cocky kid and what’s he doing there? Where do his real loyalties lie? Where did he come from? Where did he go? (And so forth.) The anime didn’t get far enough through the manga to really explore his character in much depth at all, so I’m really excited to be able to learn more about him now that I’m reading the manga.

Also wow: We’re getting pretty close to where the anime left off!!! Exciting!! We’re really close to new content! Hype! I wonder if the next volume will be able to finish off the arc and the anime-covered-material. The reason I’m not sure is because it feels like the volumes go by so fast but that they don’t actually cover that much ground, story- and plot-wise.

Now let’s talk about that ending, shall we? (ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY READ VOLUME 6 OF THE MANGA OR WATCHED EPISODE 11 OF THE ANIME) (view spoiler)

I’ll end with good news: This volume had the reappearance of omake at the end! Yaay!

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...
