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: 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...
