*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Yuriko and Gakurouta are still figuring out their fake marriage and in this volume we finally see how they met.

Their relationship is wholesome as they become better friends and learn more about each other. The how we met story is hilarious and a little bittersweet as Gakurouta’s love is still unrequited. The story also has space to teach us more about how Yuriko’s asexuality. I’m sure every person who identifies as such is different but it was still cool to know about. 4 out of 5.

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Summer approaches and the Astronomy Club prepares for their first official club event; a meteor shower watch party. Meanwhile, Magari and Nakami attend a festival together as their relationship grows closer.

The majority of this volume is watching these kids get their event together as well as our main couple still struggling with their sleep issues. The kids are so earnest and determined to make the club and the party to be a success and it’s super sweet. It’s a very refreshing volume. 4 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “A Man and His Cat” Vol. 8, by Umi Sakurai

Kanda’s son and daughter; Hoshinari and Sorako respectively, come to pay their father a visit only Hoshinari hates cats.

If this series has any lesson to take away from it besides the fruitless hope that the world’s problems can be solved by a cute cat, it that being into playing music puts you in the orbit of a lot of assholes. Kanda, Moriyama and now Hoshinari had to deal with some absolute dickheads leading to a bunch of trauma to be unpacked. All the pressure and backstabbing… But I believe in this series’ ability to engage the power of adorable cats to help the humans move on. Although (spoiler) the fake out with the accident was so unnecessary. 4 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “Rainbow Days” vol. 5, by Minami Mizuno

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

In this volume, the group continues their trip, enjoying their time at an amusement park. The day culminates in Natsuki and Anna ending up alone on the Ferris wheel.

This was cute but meandering. They’re all having a good time at the park, there are some silly shenanigans, they tell an entertaining ghost story but even for a slice of life, this wasn’t very engrossing. 3 out of 5.
