Review: My Hero Academia, Vol. 7

My Hero Academia, Vol. 7 My Hero Academia, Vol. 7 by Kohei Horikoshi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My face after I finished reading this volume:
Volume 7 cover which features Katsuki Bakugo screaming very forcefully
I am so angry right now. Those assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS???? THEY ENDED THE VOLUME ON THE BIGGEST FRICKEN CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But yenno other than that this was a great volume, like always. The last chapter is titled “Katsuki Bakugo: Origin” but it didn’t seem much like an origin to me, but whatever. What’s actually going on is still pretty cool.

We got some actual backstory on the origins of One For All which was cool. We got lots of hints about things to come, like how things are going to go downtown and the Villain’s League/Association/Whatever-it’s-called is going to start wreaking havoc, so that’s going to be fun. This series has a good balance of hardcore high-stakes fights, humourous moments, and laid back scenes.

Is so good. So very good. But I’m still mad about how the volume ended. So cruel. QnQ

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: The Art of the Adventures of Tintin

The Art of the Adventures of Tintin by Chris Guise My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Art of The Adventures of Tintin was even better than I could have ever dreamed. This is my first "Art of" book, and I kind of knew what I was getting into but I was still surprised. I didn't even mean to start reading this when I started reading this. We were given an assignment in art class to design a poster for the school play and I really had no ideas. I remembered that these "Art of" books are full of concept art so I decided to flip through this one. Well, next thing I knew I wasn't just flipping through it, I was completely engrossed in it. I flipped to the first page and started properly reading it. This book was a good reading experience. Right off the bat Chris Guise lets the reader know that he's not going to bombard you with text, that he's gonna let the art do most of the talking and he's going to make the best "Ar...
