Vol. 9 of ‘My Senpai is Annoying’ finally ends the long wait for a slow-burning relationship between Sakurai and her senpai Kazama. The buildup of tons of teasing and almost but not quite moments is all finally put to rest in this lovely volume, where Kazama confesses his love in his typical ‘him’ fashion, of course. And of course Sakurai blushes and gets flustered in front of half the office, but it’s also adorable to see her try and play it cool while at the same time getting embarrassed and delighted at the same time.
A lot of emotion can be packed into a light story, and Kumorin does a great job of keeping things where they are while still packing in some serious feelings. My favorite panel is Sakurai’s small smile of happiness for herself in the midst of chaos. This is the heart of Senpai, and it’s wonderful to read.

I just caught up on the latest arc of 'My Magical Dungeon is a Real-Estate Empire' and wow, the last chapter really threw a curveball. The hero summoned a literal city planner from modern-day Tokyo to help him manage his labyrinth, and now there's a whole subplot about zoning disputes with the local dragon council. It's absurd but weirdly gripping.
I'm mostly here for the harem dynamics though, and the author finally gave the elf archer some serious backstory. Turns out her cold exterior stems from a failed arranged marriage to a noble from a rival forest kingdom. Feels a bit tacked-on, but it explains her hostility towards the new half-demon merchant girl who just showed up. The power scaling is getting out of hand, but I'm too invested to stop now.

This one is on Webnovel, which has an official translation up for pay, and it’s totally worth reading for fans of the series. Early volumes of this I read through Webnovel subscriptions, and translation is always solid here. There are occasionally fans sharing clips on Twitter and the like, but really you want the whole thing. (Budget-constrained readers might want to check their local libraries for e-lending of this — I just got Volume 8 through that system a few months ago.)

This thread is like watching an entire fandom unfold before our very eyes. People are sharing practical solutions, feeling our pain, warning us of potential dangers, and just discussing the story in all its glory. Watching this play out is proof that community forums can offer up a multitude of solutions to one simple question: where.

Are the coin-back for BookWalker’s purchases being updated for current purchases? I know on occasion they have special coin-back for certain series or for a limited time. I’m purchasing Bookworm in print but collecting in manga form for a friend who’s purchasing the entire run. I’d like to know if the accumulated coin-back can help offset some of the cost of the manga and discount future purchases.
It is somewhat of a meta-game, but for long running series it can be worth investigating the loyalty programs of each platform and starting your collection on the one which offers the best. Kindle does not have any kind of equivalent program, while Kobo offers occasional coupons. Google Play and Apple iBooks do not currently offer any kind of rewards program for frequent buyers. BookWalker’s system is very explicitly designed to reward frequent buyers of books. So, if you’re in it for the long haul, start your collection of ‘Bookworm’ on BookWalker. (An economically minded fan).

I disagree with this, as any ending to this book would have been controversial. A completely happy ending to FLyAgent and Jean would have been moraly repugnant and a terrible read. On the other hand, a completely destructive ending to both would have felt somewhat punitive. What we got is a very messy, very uncomfortable, very morally ambiguous ending. The time jump shows them to be functioning individuals, but clearly still affected by their past. They do not get to start over, they have to carry the weight of what they've done. The final panel is actually a very powerful piece of visual storytelling as it focuses on a very mundane item that brings back memories of the past. It is not a traditionally satisfying ending, but it is thematically consistent with the rest of the book.

Just read it. Describing the story and giving away the plot points doesn’t do it justice. The artwork, the panel structure and the silent moments all contribute to an amazing reading experience. Although you might know the basic plot points by now, the execution of the story is what makes it so special. Take a day off, read the final storyline from start to end and experience it for yourself.

This episode was just more bench memes. Were they going to explain the significance of that specific bench at some point? Oh well, Himawari wins. The end.

The ending scene from the anime Tamaki looking in the rearview mirror at Haruhi was so full of hope and uncertainty. The ending of the manga provides the certainty to this scene. We can see that that glance in the mirror did lead to something lasting. The hope that we saw in that scene was justified. For some people that certainty ruins the poetry of the anime’s ending, for others it fulfills it. I am one of the latter group of people. Seeing that tiny, hopeful moment in time grow up to be the full life together of Tamaki and Haruhi that they so deserved to have made the ending of the anime even more meaningful for me once I had read the ending of the manga. It was no longer an ending but a beginning I just hadn’t read yet.

What does Sora’s fashion look like in the final chapters of her story? For graduation and afterward, she’s depicted in a variety of outfits, most of them neat but casual, as opposed to at all time trying to hide who she is. This fashion reveals so much about her development as a person. And it’s all done silently by the artist, which is amazing.
