That's 高校時代に好きだった元同級生のS級美女が隣に引っ越してきた。義娘とともに finished reading. I'm a little conflicted on this one. It was a good enough read, had decent enough characters and some nice ways of showing things, but bits of it felt like they fell a bit flat.

So I just finished reading 女子校の『王子様』がバイト先で俺にだけ『乙女』な顔を見せてくる (finally getting back on the reading bandwagon) and I quite enjoyed it. Even if there were a few niggles I had while going through.

I finished the first volume of #天殴 While there were some hints of possible much deeper stuff, most of what I was reading it for was the light funtimes and it was great for that. I'll be reading the later volumes as and when I feel like it I think.

That's v2 of 勇者の旅の裏側で finished. It was just as enjoyable as the first volume. The back and forthsections are probably still my favourite bit, closely followed this volume by both Araignée and Louise (still not 100% on that Romanisation) articulating how they felt about each other to themselves.

And that's 倒れた婦人を救ったご褒美は、娘の美人双子とのお付き合いでした finished. It was a fun read. Nothing earth shattering, but enjoyable on the whole. I particularly liked the banter between all the recurring characters and how none of that ended up too one sided

And (finally) I've gotten around to finishing Super Cub 1. It's pretty fun to see Koguma change through the volume, and her kinda harsh outlook playing off the others is great to see. Nees to figure out what I'm reading next, since that's only 2/18 that I should have read by now

I was _going_ to try and read another volume today so I could beat the goal of 52 (1 per week of the year) but ended up completely wasting the day and then playing Elden Ring's DLC all afternoon. So, this is the total of my reading for this year (not including work required)

I just read the first volume of 最強カワイイ. It was (as you'd expect from the name) rather cute. I appreciated the relationship between the two leads. I did feel like the end bit was a bit out of nowhere, but it had to justify a v2 somehow.

Finished v2 of #あま俺 as well now. It was more of the same as v1, I think. Considering whereabouts it ended...well, it would have WORKED as a final volume, but I'm very glad it's getting at least v3.

I saw v3 of #あま俺 got announced, so I decided I'd catch up before it released. I enjoyed it a lot. It's cute, but it doesn't focus TOO much on cutesy interactions, which give it a bit more depth, I feel. I'll try and read v2 tonight. Great art as well.

After ~4 days, I've finally finished 勇者の旅の裏側で 1. A large part of why it took so long was wanting to stop and savour, along with thinking about where things could be going etc.
I absolutely loved reading it. I'm very much looking forward to the future volumes.
