Review: かぐや様は告らせたい ～天才たちの恋愛頭脳戦～ 6

かぐや様は告らせたい ～天才たちの恋愛頭脳戦～ 6 かぐや様は告らせたい ～天才たちの恋愛頭脳戦～ 6 by Aka Akasaka
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this volume in very widely spaced spurts, so I really don’t have a good idea of the contents of this book as a whole. Nonetheless, I’ll try my best as I do with all my reviews.

This volume started out with another arc! It was about Kaguya freaking out about Miyuki Shirogane’s birthday, which was fun. This volume brought out more cute moments between the two extremely stubborn lovebirds, and they made me scream out loud just as much as they made Kaguya scream internally. I enjoy these moments a lot, and continue to look forward to seeing the progression of their relationship, slow as it is. Besides the arc, there were also the usual chapters with one-off storylines which were a blast to read as always.

This volume was even more unique in how it ended. This might be a bit of a spoiler, I don’t know. But it really surprised me and felt like it came right out of nowhere, and I’m still slightly confused. (view spoiler) It was all super dramatic and emotional. It felt like they were setting up for the end of the series, except if it was then it would have been extremely unsatisfying just because of how out of nowhere it seemed. If it had been paced properly, it could have actually been a really emotional and maybe even satisfying conclusion to the series. (view spoiler) So good thing it wasn’t the actual ending. It was still kinda weird how dramatic the author made it though, especially for something that’s literally not even gonna impact anything in the story. Like literally nothing is going to change from this. Whatever.

Good volume as always. I’ll just carry the five-star rating I gave to the last volume over to this one, since I really have no idea what to rate it.


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: 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: モブサイコ100 2

モブサイコ100 2 by ONE My rating: 4 of 5 stars [Source] The end of the first volume very briefly introduced the best character Teruki Hanazawa, and the entirety of this second volume is comprised of the conflict that arises between him, Mob, the punks, and the Body Improvement Club. These episodes were super hype in the anime, and it’s just as hype here in its original manga form. ONE is absolutely fantastic at drawing fights and portraying movement to the point where he puts lots of trained and seasoned manga artists to shame. The art is actually really good: The hatching, the backgrounds, the use of perspective, the layout of the panels, the movement, the emotion, the faces, everything is actually SO well done. ONE’s art style just has this shitty kind of sheen that obscures all of that which is what gives the impression that the art isn’t good (when it actually is). The only complaint I have is that it felt like the, ahem, “power struggle” (I’m tryin...
