Review: かぐや様は告らせたい ～天才たちの恋愛頭脳戦～ 3

かぐや様は告らせたい ～天才たちの恋愛頭脳戦～ 3 かぐや様は告らせたい ～天才たちの恋愛頭脳戦～ 3 by Aka Akasaka
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chapter 21

Good stuff once again! I can already tell that this is going to be big. From what I’ve read just from the manga itself, it seems like this is already quite big in Japan (referring to the fact that apparently the first volume sold out on the first day).

The first two chapters absolutely slayed me, they were so funny. If the hilarity of those chapters were the standard for all chapters then this series would easily be a 5/5 series. Unfortunately, none of the other chapters continued the laugh train that those two started. They were still good though.

Chapter 25

For this volume I decided that to aid myself in rating the volume as a whole I would rate each chapter separately and then take the average of each individual chapter rating and set that as the rating for the volume as a whole. We’re getting mathematical up in this bitch.

Individual Chapter Ratings
Scale:
3 stars: made me laugh a couple times. Medium enjoyment.
4 stars: made me laugh quite a few times. Good enjoyment.
5 stars: made me laugh hysterically for essentially the entire chapter. Very high enjoyment.
Chapter 1: 5/5
Chapter 2: 5/5
Chapter 3: 4/5
Chapter 4: 3/5
Chapter 5: 3.8/5
Chapter 6: 4/5
Chapter 7: 3/5 I was shown a cover for a beach chapter, where was the beach chapter!?
Chapter 7.5: 3/5
Chapter 8: 3.5/5
Chapter 9: 3.5/5
Chapter 10: 3/5

The math adds up to a total of 4/5 stars (slightly rounded), which is good because that’s what I was planning on rating it anyway.

Through my reading of this third volume of Kaguya Wants To Be Confessed To, I realized something. These characters are actually exactly like me. Both Kaguya and… Guy whose name starts with “S”, overthink the frick out of every single situation, and this is actually what makes this series so funny. But, you know what, that’s actually just like me. So many times I end up thinking myself out of doing something just because I was overthinking! And the reason I overthink is also usually because I’m a shy little bean. (///∇///)

Chapter 25
So I thought this page was too cute. (ノ^///u///^＼)

So yeah, anyway, good stuff as usual! I’m having a good time reading through this series, highly recommended!

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...
