Review: Can I Kiss You Every Day? Vol. 1

Can I Kiss You Every Day? Vol. 1 Can I Kiss You Every Day? Vol. 1 by Hatsuharu
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Banner

Can I Kiss You Every Day was so bad… But… I couldn’t stop reading.

Basically, what happens is this guy from the main character’s past transfers into her school and starts sexually harassing her. Hey! Put down your pitchforks! It’s totes all okay because he’s hella hot, and we all know that hot dudes can do no wrong.
Guide to life:
Step 1: Be attractive.
Step 2: Don’t be unattractive.
Step 3: ...
Step 4: Profit.

I’m kidding… Kind of. I mean, that is literally why it’s “okay” in this case. To elaborate, the childhood friend has apparently always had a crush on the MC, so when they reunite he just has to go in for a good ol’ surprise non-consensual kiss. The main character is like “Yo dude wtf” but continues to be friendly with him afterwards because, you know, he’s hot, and she didn’t totally mind it. As you can tell from the title of this series, each chapter is another day that eventually leads to another kiss, as far as the four chapters in this volume were concerned at least. Except the title is a lot more consensual than the guy ever was.

This is no beef towards the MC, by the way. I can totally see how this is a really appealing scenario: An attractive guy suddenly coming into your life and being super forward and open about his affection towards you, and giving you lots of attention and yada yada. This is 100% guilty pleasure reading material, and honestly I bet the reason I couldn’t stop reading is because despite the creepiness if applied to real life, when reading it here in manga-form it’s a little addicting.

So I guess that's a bit of why I enjoyed this volume, but the main reason I enjoyed it was because it's actually decently funny??? We've actually got ourselves what seems to be no mere romantic romp, but a romantic comedy. If you know me at all, you know I like me my romantic comedy manga—that is, I thoroughly enjoy laughing my ass off and don't mind one bit if the laughs are interspersed with character relationship exploration. This one got me chuckling, and you can't go wrong with a good chuckle.

The only discussion I’ve read about this series is a single comment saying how they think this series might become predictable—and that might very well be true—but since I don’t ever read this type of shoujo trash, I’m not familiar with all the tropes and whatnot. I feel like the MC's bother being a siscon is probably a common trope, but not gonna lie I think his antics made me laugh at least once per chapter, which was unexpected but great. I think this might be an enjoyably shitty ride for me.

2.5 stars because there's no way I can say that this was "good", however I personally enjoyed 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: The Show Must Go On

The Show Must Go On by Kate Karyus Quinn My rating: 4 of 5 stars Because lucky me, even though I am 100 percent talking out of my ass, it turns out my ass is a secret genius. Wow. The Show Must Go On was surprisingly great. And by “great” I mean that this is very likely the best romance I’ve ever experienced (including books, movies, tv, etc.). It was also filled to the brim with funny lines like the one above, so for the first time in my life I found myself constantly laughing-out-loud while reading a book. But… then the ending happened… and it left me feeling insanely disappointed, which is what knocked a whole star off of my rating. Will actually walks over to [the bookshelf], like he's unable to resist the siren call of literature. Obviously, despite losing the glasses, his nerd instincts are still strong. First and foremost, since it doesn’t look like there are any reviews by people who have ever read Quinn before, I just want to st...

Review: Scarlet

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars Scarlet Benoit by Lizgigler on DeviantArt Wooooo yeeaaahhhhh Scaarlett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was loads better than Cinder. Mostly because of Scarlet and Wolf, heheheh. Cinder’s POVs were always just like whatever, but when it went back to Scarlet that’s when the party started. It was also great because Scarlet’s POVs were loongg and Cinder’s were shoort. No beef against Cinder as a character, she know she my homegirl, but her POV is just not the most interesting all the time. I had really low hopes going into this book two of the Lunar Chronicles, mostly because of the fiasco that was Cinder. Okay I’m being way too hard on Cinder. I liked it. It was good… you know just a basic three star book. BUT SCARLET ON THE OTHER HAND. MMMH. Wonderful. Scarlet was tons of fun. This book had way better twists and turns and was overall just more enjoyable than Cinder. I don’t think I necessarily liked Scarl...

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...
