Review: 毎日キスしていいですか? 2 [Mainichi Kiss shite ii desu ka? 2]

毎日キスしていいですか? 2 [Mainichi Kiss shite ii desu ka? 2] 毎日キスしていいですか? 2 [Mainichi Kiss shite ii desu ka? 2] by Hatsuharu
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Volume 2, chapter 5, page 19. Nagio looking angry/annoyed.
(Mouse-over image to view source)

I'm slightly confused as to why this volume is rated much lower than the first one, because I thought that this was the same—if not better—than the first volume. The first two chapters had me laughing so much, that’s when I finally realized that this is a rom-com and that’s the real reason I’m enjoying this series. During the last two chapters the laughs slowed down, and then the end of the last chapter happened, and maybe that’s the cause of the low ratings.

If you didn’t think that Nagio (the childhood friend) was rape-y during the first volume, I’m sure you’ll think he’s rape-y in this one. In the first volume, Kurumi (the main character) tells him to stop, says “no”, does the whole works, and he kisses her anyway. In this volume… The same happens except in a more intimate situation… If you catch my drift.

That was pretty uh… Whack-ass to say the least. But at this point it’s not really anything unusual from him. Like, what were readers expecting? For this not to happen? For him to suddenly give a shit about Kurumi’s consent before he forces himself on her? I’m not saying what he’s doing is in any way shape or form okay, but it’s just a little late to be shocked about it at this point. I put up with it because I know it’s a fictional character and because it is an otherwise funny and entertaining manga. It would definitely be good for this to be brought up at some point however, since he is acting like a creepy scumbag. It really wouldn’t be great if he continued acting this way without repercussion for much longer, or learning the error of his ways, etc. etc..

For people who are reading this manga more for the romance side of things, I can see how this would really ruin the manga for them. Also, Kurumi's brother started to annoy even me in this volume, so I'm sure he was infuriating for romance-oriented readers. However, all I’m personally here for is the laughs and entertainment, and it delivered on that front so I am satisfied.

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: The Art of the Adventures of Tintin

The Art of the Adventures of Tintin by Chris Guise My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Art of The Adventures of Tintin was even better than I could have ever dreamed. This is my first "Art of" book, and I kind of knew what I was getting into but I was still surprised. I didn't even mean to start reading this when I started reading this. We were given an assignment in art class to design a poster for the school play and I really had no ideas. I remembered that these "Art of" books are full of concept art so I decided to flip through this one. Well, next thing I knew I wasn't just flipping through it, I was completely engrossed in it. I flipped to the first page and started properly reading it. This book was a good reading experience. Right off the bat Chris Guise lets the reader know that he's not going to bombard you with text, that he's gonna let the art do most of the talking and he's going to make the best "Ar...

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...
