New stuff
Though I’m still waiting for another delivery (including the awaited Oreimo 6), here’s some new stuff I got this month First row Notizaka Haruka no Himitsu 6, the first extra volume -no idea what’s the difference- of the Seitokai no …

Volume 2 of Kämpfer deals with Natsuru having the honor of attending the girls’ side of the school. It was dealt with in episode 3 of the anime. Although the anime doesn’t really diverge much from the novel, the fact …

Since I assume those interested in learning more about the novels will have watched the anime, I won’t write a summary of it. The first novel basically deals with Akiharu’s first days in the school, up to when he has the “accident” in the pool – that is, the first two anime episodes.

One day, Kyousuke gets two text messages. One is from Kuroneko: she wants to meet him after school. The other is from Kirino, who hadn’t contacted anyone so far, so all of them, Kyousuke included, were very worried. The message tells him to “destroy all her collection” (of eroge, etc.) Surprised, Kyousuke tries phoning her, but she hangs up on him. Not knowing what to do, he tries calling Ayase (through Manami, since Ayase has blacklisted him)

Sena provides much of the humor in volume 5. Once she goes into “fujoshi” mode, she does little to hide from people her sexual fantasies about the different boys she knows having sex with each other. She seems to especially like the idea of her brother and Kyousuke being lovers.

We reach volume 5 of the Oreimo series. Volume 4 ended with a shocking development: Kirino leaves for Los Angeles after being scouted for track and field athletics. And with Kirino gone, without even telling her friends or brother, Kyousuke finds on the first school day in April that Kuroneko is now a student at his school – Kyousuke-senpai, she calls him, having decided to stop calling him “oniisan”

I was reviewing some notes about SLA (Second Language Acquisition) and for some reason, probably because I was bored so I was thinking more about anime than about the task at hand, I decided to connect this theory, which in …

Seitokai no Sanshin (Third strike) is the third volume of the Seitokai no Ichizon series. I really enjoyed it. The style is the same as its predecessors: unpretentious comedy mainly about otaku themes, lots of references, and quirky characters and situations. In some sense, it does remind me a little of Zetsubou Sensei, at least in its format, and both works benefit from this: each chapter being self-contained, devoted to one topic, means there is no need to keep a plot going, so it takes more for jokes to get thin, while the topics that can be covered (or satirized) are wider.
