Book 25: Slayers Vol. 6

The Slayers LNs are a blast to read through, and I like that this volume brought back some familiar antagonists. Lina's commentary is also still one of the biggest highlights of the series!

Book 22: Kaiju Girl Caramelise Vol. 4

Kaijiu Girl continues to be a series that I didn't know I needed, but I'm 100% glad exists! Kuroe and Arata's relationship is still precious, and I'm excited that the series is finally alluding to Kuroe's orgins.

Book 17: Slayers Vol. 5

It's a shame this material was condensed into a single episode in the anime, because it's actually really good and has some great world-building! And of course, Xellos makes everything better!

Book 16: Call of the Night Vol. 1

My review and the SNS episode of this are out already, but as a reminder, Call of the Night is awesome and you should totally go read it!

Books 12-15: Love Me, Love Me Not Vols. 3-6

God I just love this manga! I'm surprised how fast the series' initial conflicts have been solved, but it works so well because of how incredibly endearing the characters are. I need more!

Book 9: The King's Beast Vol. 1

My full review of this came out last week, but this was really good! The exploration of Ko's character and her desire for revenge is a strong hook, and I think the developing mystery has a lot potential!

Book 6: Bakemonogatari Vol. 6

I'm constantly blown away by how great this adaption is! Araragi's fight with Kanbaru takes up a good chunk of this volume, and the sheer amount of detail that Oh!Great puts in is insane! I can't imagine how Kizu will look...

Book 5: Not Your Idol Vol. 2

I liked how this volume dived into Hikaru's vulnerabilities as well as Nina's changing perception on him. It's also a huge shame that this series is still on hiatus, because the cliffhanger of this volume is brutal. 😭

Book 3: Slayers Vol. 4

Amelia and Sir Phil make everything better! The foreshadowing to Gaav's introduction is handled really well, and you can tell that Kanzaka has a clearer direction for the series at this point.

Books 121-122: Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro Vols. 3-4

At this point, I feel Nagatoro has found its bearings. You can tell Nagatoro and Senpai are on more amicable terms now, and seeing them interact is genuinely sweet. It's a fun read!

Book 120: RaW Hero Vol. 3

This manga keeps getting stranger and I kinda love it! The heavier emphasis on Chiaki's "normal" life in this volume was a nice change of pace and Mariko's story seems to be going in an interesting direction too.

Book 117: I'll Never Set Foot in That House Again! Vol. 1

The early chapters of this volume were heartbreaking, but I couldn't put it down! Chelsea deserves all the hugs in the world! 😭

Book 116: Slayers Vol. 3

I'm a bit torn on this volume, since while it's fine on its own, Copy Rezo and Eris aren't as well developed as their anime counterparts. That said, Lantz's fight against Vizea was pretty great! I wish Kanzaka had used him more...

Book 114: Farming Life in Another World Vol. 1

I like how laid-back this manga is! The heavy focus on agriculture and construction is pretty interesting, though I'm curious if the story will shift its focus as the cast expands.

Book 109: RaW Hero Vol. 2

I continue to be pleasantly surprised by this series! I like the that this volume further fleshed out Chiaki's SALF teammates. The fight against Nagisa was also really amusing.

Book 107: Slayers Vol. 1

It feels so good to read Slayers again! I forgot that the Rezo story arc was way shorter in the LN than the anime. The pacing here is admittedly a little fast, but the story is still solid and Lina's narration is fantastic!

Book 106: Fly Me To The Moon, Vol. 1

I'm so happy that Viz licensed this series! Nasa and Tsukasa's relationship is just adorable, and Kenjiro Hata does a great job in finding humor from the daily aspects of married life. Please pick this up when it comes out!

Books 100-101: Blue Flag Vols. 1-2

I forgot how great Blue Flag is! KAITO has always been crazy talented, but this is by far their strongest work. Both these volumes also end on fantastic twists, which makes it such an addicting read. Seriously, go read it!

Book 98: Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai

I finally got around to finishing this, and it lived up to my expectations of being amazing! While it isn't the most dense LN, I'm surprised at how well the anime adapted this volume in only 3 eps.

Book 96: Bestia, Vol. 1

Bestia is surprisingly good! I like the London setting, and the female lead Edgar is pretty awesome. Aco Arisaka's artwork was also quite impressive, and they delivered some great two-page spreads!
