Review: My Hero Academia, Vol. 6

My Hero Academia, Vol. 6 My Hero Academia, Vol. 6 by Kohei Horikoshi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Epic. Same goodness as always. Really cool fights going on here. I will now go back to being depressed about not having the next volume QnQ.

I'm going to talk about my thoughts on specific things since everything about the story has already been said in my past reviews.

I remember that in the fourth volume (or whichever volume it was where we started learning more about Todoroki) I didn't really like him that much. But then in the last volume he wasn't bad at all so I had an acceptance of him, I guess. My feelings towards him moved more towards "like" than "dislike". Then in this volume... (view spoiler) I felt very conflicted (and still do...) about my feelings. I don't feel like I like him super much, but then I do a little but it's complicated whatever.

Ida's costume is pretty cool, I like it a lot.

Ida's costume
(This was taken from a fan-translation, the official translation has him saying "... Because... I... Can never forgive him." Support the official release by buying the volumes!)

I've always thought that Midoriya's bunny-lookin-ass helmet is lame af, and still do. Whoever approved that design needs to be fired. I know the "ears" are supposed to be "horns" shaped to mimic All Might's hair, but they just make Midoriya look like a damn bunny. Uraraka's boots are too obnoxiously huge, and Momo's costume is too obnoxious for... Other reasons. If you look up her costume you might get why. *Edit* Momo's costume actually gets explained in Volume 8, so I ain't even mad. I originally thought Bakugo's grenade gloves were waaaay to obnoxious and I didn't like them, but seeing him fully suited up again in this volume I thought he looked pretty cool. All this bitching aside I generally like seeing the kids in their costumes.

Also, the kids chose their hero names in this volume. I have some spoilery thoughts about that. (view spoiler)

Merry Christmas!!!! I started my Christmas off by opening presents and then reading this manga before bed, a truly wonderful present. Even though I didn't get it for Christmas. Also now it's past two in the morning. Help.

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: Bossypants

Bossypants by Tina Fey My rating: 3 of 5 stars Let me set the scene: Last week I was in Phys Ed class playing the ol' badminton. Our school only has one gym, and my class 60 kids. So you can imagine how cramped it was. Each team had 3 people on the court at a time, and yes, it was a mess. And then one of my partners slammed me in the right eyeball with their racquet. My glasses broke into three pieces as they tumbled to the hardwood gym floor. This was the second time my face had been assaulted resulting in broken frames, so you could say I was a broken-glasses veteran. With my experience I didn't freak out, just was slightly annoyed. Nothin' some good old super glue can't fix, right? So I tried to continue playing but I quickly realized that I could no longer keep my eye open. It felt extremely irritated and even if I shut just the one and kept the other open, it still hurt. When I closed both of them, then it was a little better. Re...
