Review: Haikyu!!, Vol. 2

Haikyu!!, Vol. 2 Haikyu!!, Vol. 2 by Haruichi Furudate
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Intimidating looks
Underestimate us too much... And we'll pick you clean.

This volume was so hype simply because I already knew what was coming, so the anticipation was literally making me shake and slam the book against my face as I was reading because I couldn't handle it.

Before the hype-as-frick season three of the anime came out I wasn't even really planning on continuing with reading the manga since I already watched the anime. But then season three happened... And I once again became determined to get caught up with the manga. Especially since a new anime season is probably not going to be made for a while (two years maybe, because the third season caught up pretty close to the manga). Obviously the manga was no disappointment.

You might be thinking, "Well duh you liked the manga, because you already watched and liked the anime," but au contraire, it is not so simple!! Tokyo Ghoul is my favourite anime but I found myself not really enjoying its manga. Probably because I picked it up much too soon after finishing the anime, so it was still too fresh, but still. With this in mind, I'm very happy that I'm enjoying the manga of Haikyuu!! so much.

These books are just kind of annoying to read because they arn't sold in stores and the shipping time is long. Also I thought it was great when I first saw that the volumes were being published monthly, but I have since then realized that AIN'T NOBODY GOT THE DIMES FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!!! I ain't got the money to be ordering a book online every month!!! And it causes me to need to order multiple books at once to get free shipping!! It is just such a hassle. Thus why I'm a million volumes behind right now. Great. Love it.

Fantastic series though, 10/10.

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...
