Review: 寄宿学校のジュリエット（４）

寄宿学校のジュリエット（４） 寄宿学校のジュリエット（４） by 金田陽介
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve been purposely not swearing in my reviews for the past while because I’ve found that I don’t like reading them there, but I must now make an exception…… (Click for fitting background music)

Angry

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M SO FUCKING MAD! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Head wall slam

THAT EEEEEEEEEEEENDING!!!!!! (For context, this volume ended on Chapter 20: “Sea, Romeo, and Juliet Part 1”) First of all: I can’t believe they ended the volume like that. Second of all: I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY EVEN DID THAT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait, actually, I can. I can very easily believe it, and had the bad feeling that they would do that, BUT I WAS VEHEMENTLY SCREAMING FOR THEM NOT TO ANYWAY!!!!!!!!! BUT. THEY. FUCKNG. DID!

Sigh

Ahem. Other than swearing, I also never gif spam (and frankly hate it when other people do…), but this is clearly a special case we have here. I am livid. I am the embodiment of wrath itself. They fucking baited me. They baited me so hard. I saw it coming, but I wanted the reward so… so badly…

Tears

Literally none of this review will make sense if you haven’t read this series, but if you’ve read any of the previous volumes you might be able to get it. Or if you read my Reading Comment. I suggest you don’t do that though because then you’ll definitely catch on and lose the anticipation for when you read it yourself. Though, from this review so far, I might’ve already given it away. ^^” Let’s try and make this an actually somewhat useful and less spoiler-y review, now.

Have my complaints from the previous volumes been fixed yet? NO. (view spoiler)
Is the art still good? ...Duh? It’s not something that I’m still super enamored by or anything though.
Is it still funny? There is never a chapter that fails to make me laugh multiple times! The comedy is one of the best things about this series.
Is the storyline/drama continuing to be juicy? Like always. The first three chapters of this volume finish up the Romeo, Juliet, and Birthdays arc which was started at the end of the last volume. Can mangakas please stop starting new arcs at the end of volumes please??? For my sanity’s sake???

I don’t know what the heck that Q&A thing was supposed to be, but we both knew from the start that this wasn’t going to be a standard review. Manga sequels are always weird to review, anyway. There’s always a million volumes and it’s like, who’s going to read your review of the 57th volume of Naruto? No one. They’re going to be too busy reading the actual volume to give a shit about your opinion, that’s why reviews always get less and less “likes” the deeper you go into the volumes. Except for my review of volume 7 of My Hero Academia somehow got more likes than I usually get??? It was another rant-review because they chose the worst possible spot to end the volume, lmao. Not that I actually care about likes, obviously. If I was in this game for likes then I would have quit 200 book reviews ago. I don’t know what this paragraph is. 2meta4me

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...
