The final hurdle! We in this. I really hope she can make up with her too, as much as I hate her. It's kind of necessary.
(retcon: went back to see you guys' impressions, and ya'll are silly. this had to happen. the series can't end if they don't solve the mother subplot. the whole theme of the story is to reconcile with the people you care or cared about.)
1st chapter had all the markings of delinquent doing not delinquent thing. 2nd chapter brought in a member, and 3rd filled out the roster while setting up a goal. Fairly standard opening but since this has music in it I'll keep my hopes up.
Also I'm going to assume that all of you guys who have twitter but didn't bird me yet (or let me know about your bird) just hate me or something. I know for certain there's still a bunch of you left. Just making sure, it's @CCScarecrows. Final warning before E3!
A personal dream of mine was realized: This manga actually got a release here in Brazil. With some color pages, decent paper and a short preface by the author (which is just "please like it").
So that was Arthur's first battle... I wonder if that sword is excalibur or will he gain it later on
Threader is trying to get to the King in order to find out the truth yet a magical door is stopping him... what's odd about this is that he could clearly hear King from the other side but instead of asking him directly if it is true or not he instead just rapidly utters don't worry while bashing at the door
Okay maybe he just choice to believe the Sins and just try to rescue the King from his luxury prison
Do perverts just break into females' homes en mass in Japan or something? And they won't do it if there are male underwear hung up? Even though this supposedly secret technique is widely known, and the chances of it hinting at the house's population at that particular time is really low?
What does that even mean? You'd think something on the level of breaking into someone's house to rape them would either not care about those things at all, because they're insane, or care about things that actually mean something. Like looking at who comes out of the apartment or something.
Poor Kageyama but to see and be ready for what the team had in store deserves praise. 2 on 2 practices allowing them to be so versatile during matches is a strange practice session as the results seemed to be a mixed bag with fairly catastrophic happenings.Still, at least they are having fun.

Yeah, I went into it thinking they'd all be like Chapter 0. "Forbidden" romances and other unexpected pairings. Instead it was .... basically some normal pairings. And, yeah, the second story drags a bit with the "drama" being pretty meh. Overall, they felt like the weakest characters.
i wonder what other ones they could have done (the only thing i could think of is a same sex one for both sexes?)
Yea it was cool they were both gamers and the dude is a helpful but not much else. Maybe the author felt the same way since there was no "extra" chapter for them lol
Your average girl (with some sword skills) gets kidnapped by Zeus and tossed into a world he created so she can be classmates with gods from various myths and regions so they can learn about humanity and love. And yes, of course all the gods are as pretty as pretty can be.
Well I'm enjoying the anime of it, so this manga adaptation isn't all that bad either. It does remind me that our average girl does have some motivation that's pretty much been forgotten by now and hell I forgot there was even a mascot character too.
So there's this girl, and she'll cross dress to get into the military in order to find information about her father, who no longer exists in the ~official records~. It might be vaguely plausible in a mulan sort of a way if she didn't look like this:
Honestly, the only reason I'm still considering to keep up with this is the whole Mulan gambit, but her "cross dressing" isn't convincing anyone. Not with that fetishized outfit anyway.
RaButa 0
Cute. What a coincidence that they fall for each other, considering what happened to him in the past.
damn that was a crazy ride with mindfucks galore (aka Jiro Matumoto being Jiro Matsumoto) lol
Kano was just fucking insane like most of the cast but he just took it to 12
the law itself seemed interesting at first but then you realize it was pretty fucked up and i guess Yamada was the reader's POV character showing that.
Sempai hunter guy was crazy but it was funny seeing his mind completely erode due to Kano and
his wife's suicide
. Also did some dumb shit so i'm not surprised at
the death he got (killing that poor rookie cop girl)
Had a feeling something happened
to his girl the moment she started to be really nice and cooked different meals without complaint so when it was revealed she actually die i took it as fact and kinda felt bad. That confirmed his insanity slippage though and i was surprised his mother was actually real lol.
The main lady was pretty much fucked in her head as well in the end and hopefully she found some peace.
As for the ending
i would like to say he killed that fucker and survived. but if so it makes the first chapter seem like the actual ending since he appears in the same clothing, at the same restaurant, doing the same thing that weirds out the waitress plus he was talking to the illusion version of the lady in the first chapter (who should actually be dead going by the way his illusions manifest but strangely she wasn't).
or maybe
it was a flashback to the beginning with him saying something before that chapter officially began and he died after killing that dude.
It's legitimately one of the top two shows of the season for me. Though even after it ends I don't think I'll jump to reading right away if a second season seems to be in the cards. From what I understand it does seem to be strengthening the manga.

Book Girl (Light Novel) - Okay. I've let the ending wash over me. It's what you'd expect the finale to be but (actual conclusion spoilers hohoho)
I really had hope deep in my heart that Nanase would win out in the end. But she killed the route when she told him it was okay to not write; considering all the growth in the series up to this point, this is really what signaled the end for her. She's the most tragic of tragic characters in the entire series and that says a lot when you're up against so many dead people. I suppose expecting the title character to not win is just being too weird but ... come on. Let the adorable tsundere that aggressively pursues helping him win! Tohko was so passive! She did so much for him! ARGH! I hope for the best for her. I really do
.
Okay. Got that off my chest. As a whole, the series is pretty much a lot of angst. If anything, that's the weakest part of it: The main character is rather broken and you're reminded of this ... really often. Really often. Personally, it didn't really bug me too much but I can see it being an issue for others. It's what makes Book 6 stand out so much, I suppose? He acts a lot less broken there and it doesn't make sense timeline wise and "reverts" to having issues in the finale (though for reasons). I dunno. Him being like that is fairly central to things.
Ultimately, there's a lot of bittersweet everywhere. Tragic romances at the core of every story and even at the core of the overall story. Not to say there's no happiness involved because there is. It's just that every story involves a tragedy: There will be a death or a jilted lover or a misunderstanding gone wrong or something. They vary in quality and in terms of how over-the-top they feel but I enjoyed them all with Book 4 (Corrupted Angel) as my personal favorite. The major theme revisited time after time is fairly simple: A love so strong that it turns toward hate. There's a lot of warped feelings in general. "What I want is a girl who loves me so much that she'd kill me."
I'm going to give it some time and re-read it later this week maybe. There's a lot of 'black text' I want to read with knowledge of how the stories go (and/or who's actually saying them).
Hint too late, I'm faster. It was just curious that Togashi wasn't the only one doing that. But in this case, it seemed something very temporal, limited to a very few drawings. I suppose he was sick (I mean, truly, unlike Togashi )
Ore ga Ojou-sama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Rachirareta Ken (caught up)
Well, more or less, I read it. I think. I'm not sure why, or if it accomplished anything. But one way or another, it's firmly in my readlist.
Basically Aho Girl if it had an entire school of idiots instead of just one girl.
