Sports day is always an exciting string of events and I think this one played out really well. I will also note that we got names for the rest of Komi's 3rd year classmates so that is a good sign on the making friends train. I also thought several other of these chapters were fun, the old lady and the group interview discussion in particular were great fun. ...more

This was very weird, tonally. It was just a strange reading experience. I can't really pin down why it was weird, but I think it has something to do with nothing being too much. Everything in here was mild, no one was being creepy enough for me to call them out on it, no one was scarry enough to be frightening, and nothing was romantic enough for me to get those vibes either. Everything was just there and happened. The description hypes the story up way more than is dementated here and I'd be curious to see how volume two escalates things but right now there is kind of just nothing. ...more

I do remember that I enjoyed it so when I saw my library had a bunch of volumes of the manga I thought why not revisit it. And it is really fun. Everything about the time period, setting, and characters is so interesting as someone who loves video games. I know nothing about arcade fighting games but this is such an interesting medium to learn about them through. I¨m also excited to see how the relationship between the two main characters develop as I can see the legs of a greatness here. ...more

The cover and description of this title really drew me in, they both just seemed so exciting and action filled. And reading the first little bit it really does seem to be an action filled story. All that extra rambunctious crime and detective work that I really love in a TV show is here. I was hoping this would be fun like and bring the vibes of shows like Stitchers or Grimm. Which it kind of does. But the main take away I have after reading this is that it was boring. I know that feels so counter to what I have said, its a book full of action how can it be boring? To tell you the truth I don't know, it was just boring. Maybe the character were a bit flat, or maybe it was something else. I just know that it did not hold my attention and it took me forever to get through, it was kind of boring. I'd pass on this one. ...more

SChristmas I hear you all mutter in confusion, it¨s February. Well I have a perfectly reasonable explanation, this is when my hold finally showed up. See perfectly reasonable.
Anyway this is also just a super fun read that isn¨t all that centralized to the holiday so it¨s ok. I have been loving this series. It has just the best sense of humor and 4th wall breaks. It¨s like we are playing a game with the story and it¨s being both super fair and a little tricky.
It¨s a lot like playing a video game with hints on. It¨s like take note of this detail or remember this rule, we are playing by this rule. It¨s a very approachable mystery series and I appreciate it for that....more
