Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for my Retirement 5 + 6 - The usual FUNA shenaningans. He’s one of the most consitant authors I know. These 2 volumes mostly see Mitsuha build up her operations in the new world.

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Vol. 19 - Conclusion to the Land of Wa arc, and it looks like we maybe got another little (old) girl added to the cast. I don’t mind this, the character is entertaining. What I do mind is that they simply had to add an illustration of that character standing around naked. I wish I could have my prejudices of otaku Japan subverted just once.

Too Strong to Belong! Banished to Another World! - Another one of those “MC tries for the world record of obliviousness” books with absurd misunderstandings as a result. Each act of “not getting it” and each misundersanding feels so forced and unnatural.

The Otome Heroine’s Fight for Survival: Volume 2 + 3 - My favorite murder hobo is back at it again. Still such a great MC.

I blasted through a couple this week to try and kick my reading slump.

The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 12 was great, dealing with the fallout of the previous volume plus dragging Maomao into new situations. Mostly I appreciate that she does actually recognize what’s going on between her and Jinshi. She’s purposefully ignorant, not totally ignorant.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy: Volume 7 was by and large what I expect from the series. Goofy stuff being OP, Anos being OP, and so forth. Good fun in the same way the rest are good fun.
