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: Lulu Is a Rhinoceros

Lulu Is a Rhinoceros by Jason Flom My rating: 3 of 5 stars The second I saw the cover of this book and read the synopsis I immediately thought that this was going to be a book that uses animals to create an allegory about transsexuality, as another installment in the growing genre of kid’s LGBTQA+ books. The whole "that's what she sees when she looks in the mirror" business felt really on the nose, and I feel like the authors purposefully used this wording in order to generate buzz around this book. In actuality, this felt like any other normal kids book. You have a character who feels misunderstood by their peers, and so they go on a "journey" to find and/or prove themselves and eventually end up finding peace with who they are and/or a group who accepts them. To me, the story was told in a way that presented Lulu like any other silly character in a children's book that had a silly problem stemming from their silly misco...

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...
