Review: My Hero Academia, Vol. 13

My Hero Academia, Vol. 13 My Hero Academia, Vol. 13 by Kohei Horikoshi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

(This review utilizes mouse-over image sources/captions, give it a try!)

I have a confession. Secretly, every time I pick up a new volume of My Hero Academia, I’m a little bit scared. Scared that it’s not going to be as good as I remembered. Scared that I’m not going to like it. It’s nothing personal towards this series, it’s just a worry I’ve developed due to being disappointed by other series in the past. *cough*A recent example being Kiss Him, Not Me!*cough*.

Well, thanks to the great Horikoshi-sensei my fears have been consistently kept at bay quickly following the start of each volume. I’m scared of the day when I won’t want to rate a volume in this series 5 stars, but today is not that day.

For recap’s sake, since this is a long series:
This volume concluded the Preliminary License arc (view spoiler), and then we got some cool backstory for Twice, and a little convo between All Might and One For All. There’s rising tension and trouble on the streets caused by All Might’s retirement which was announced in volume 11, and the introduction of the villain seen on the volume 14 cover. An overall pretty wildin’ and awesome volume as always!

Another consistent thing with this series is that it once again ENDED WITH AN AGONIZING CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!!!!! Or, rather, would-be agonizing cliffhanger, because for some reason this volume took like a month to finally ship to my house, so the next volume is already hot out on the presses, ready to be picked up and read!! My plan is to hopefully be able to pick up a copy instore in order to avoid another month-long shipping debacle.

Here is the wonderful chapter cover for chapter 119, to show the beautiful hype for the next volume, followed by more hype pics (Don’t click the spoiler unless you’ve read volume 13):

Next volume, plz and thx.

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...
