Review: Kiss Him, Not Me!, Vol. 9

Kiss Him, Not Me!, Vol. 9 Kiss Him, Not Me!, Vol. 9 by Junko
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This volume was so hilarious!!!! I kid you not, it had me laughing from page ONE! And I am not exaggerating when I say this volume literally had me HOWLING (in the sense of screams and also laughter. Sometimes simultaneously, sometimes independently). I was really glad that my parents were in the basement and my brother was in the shower so I could be as obnoxiously loud as I wanted without them calling the police for bloody murder. It was a very, very fun time.

The howls were not only brought upon by this volume being funny, but also by it being quite juicy. Junko comes up with such juicy and hilarious scenarios that always catch me off guard in the best way possible. This is a series you can never get bored with.

The chapters in this series are released monthly in Japan, therefore they're longer so they put only four chapters in each volume. This lets the volumes be published in shorter intervals that can keep up with the volumes of weekly published series. These volumes only have around 150 pages per book (as compared to 195-205 being the usual page count for weekly series' volumes) but it actually didn't really feel like it.

It didn't feel really small or anything, and didn't take me less time to read than any other manga. Time flew by in a flash, and I couldn't believe how fast time had passed by the time I had finished reading. That said, while I was reading the pace was really great and it felt like it lasted the perfect length of time.

This is a fantastic series that I would STRONGLY recommend. Pick either the anime or the manga, they're the same, just go with your preferred medium. If you watch the anime make sure to read my series review after you've finished it, because I let you know what chapter the anime leaves off so you can continue with this great series!


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: 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...
