It’s been three years since you looked at me, kicked me into hell and weren’t even sorry. In volume one, which I read in January and will not be going back to review, an internet denizen going by the nom de plume Peerless Cucumber found himself regrettably reincarnated in the very web novel which killed him (because he didn’t have enough...

So, how many more ways can this series find to keep spinning its wheels rather than actually resolving the romantic tension? I have not and am not going to review volume four, as I read it a while ago and am not much interested in bothering to go back, but – suffice to say, while that volume resolved the matter of Izumi’s crush on Fujishiro,...

Long time no see. Well, I’ve been gone a while from this. Combo of job being too hectic, personal life being too hectic, and some health issues. I’d been considering starting to write reviews again from roughly January or so, but nothing quite pushed me to do so, until I picked up this last week. I suppose, then, that’d be the short version...

Once again, I will shout from the rooftops that, despite the trashtastic title, this series is very sweet and not trashy at all, although I wouldn’t blame someone for not reading it in public with that title splashed across the cover. After the cliffhanger of volume two, Adachi finds himself playing temporary host to Kurosawa, a situation...

She’s back! Fresh and triumphant off of student council elections, Mia is ready to rest on her laurels for a bit when duty comes calling – the academy city she previously set in motion is already floundering due to the scheming of the Greenmoons, one of the four most powerful aristocratic families of the empire. Ludwig thinks salvation...

Too bad she doesn’t want to be one. Lyse Winslette is the orphaned daughter of a baron who works in the palace of the king of Olwen, a vassal state of the Razanate Empire. But Lyse has a secret – she’s actually the reincarnation of a knight of said empire, Qatora, a woman who died while protecting members of the imperial family. Although...

Going to stick to the manga instead for this one. As there isn’t any significant difference between this opening volume of the original light novel series and it’s manga adaptation, forgive me, but I’m going to engage in some self-plagiarism from a review of the manga: “Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter starts us out in a...

Well… its fine. Ayako is the ninth daughter of the emperor of Konkoku… but she’s spent most of her life as the Umashi-no-Miya, the sacred cook for the god Kunimamori-no-Okami. In practice, this has meant living solely with her older sister, who serves as a living representative of the god. Alas, as much as she values this role, when...

Worth a try for fans of political intrigue, or fans of female-led stories who are sick of reborn otome villainess tales. I am going to cheat a little and plagiarize a bit of my description of the first volume of the manga adaptation of these light novels, as there are really only so many ways I can manage to summarize the basics twice…...

Well, its fitting that I’d make my return with the latest volume of Girls Kingdom. Much as was the case in the second volume, in volume three Misaki is continuing to live the maid’s life largely unexamined, with only a scant moments of consideration given to her original goals of getting a good education so she can get a good office...
