@[email protected] , do you know by now who “Big Sister Hanelore” is in the novel “Ascendance of a Bookworm: Hannelore’s Fifth Year at the Royal Academy Volume 2”? And why she was called a big sister specifically?

Nope @[email protected] , we’re talking about the book Ascendance of a Bookworm: Hannelore’s Fifth Year at the Royal Academy Volume 2 here.

Hey @[email protected], what is this “Big Sister Hannelore” he is speaking of?

Lots of stuff this week for me. I’m on vacation next week, so I hope I can lighten my backlog a bit. Especially happy to see a new Tearmoon, even if it’s just short stories. The release schedule of that series is depressingly slow.

<Heroine? Saint? No, I’m an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! Vol. 2> by Atekichi - ★★★☆☆, 166 MynePages™ - There are a few minor plot holes in this volume. Nothing too glaring, but they still stand out when reading the volumes back to back.

<Heroine? Saint? No, I’m an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! Vol. 3> by Atekichi - ★★★☆☆, 200 MynePages™ - This time they go on a summer vacation, and the plot gets a couple more threads up to the point where it’s starting to feel convoluted. I hope it gets reigned in a bit with the different directions the plot tries to go all at once.

<Heroine? Saint? No, I’m an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! Vol. 4> by Atekichi - ★★★☆☆, 182 MynePages™ - Young people beware - parenting anecdote incoming: You know how, when your kids do something genuinely funny, and you laugh, and they then repeat that same thing? While you laughed organically the first time you laugh out of obligation, the next couple times because you know that your kid is just trying to make you happy and it’s endearing, but after the 20th time, you are thinking that it wasn’t actually that funny in the first place, and you’re desperately looking for ways to distract your kid to make it stop? Yeah, that series is doing something similar with the deadpan narration. It was funny at first, and the author seems to have gotten the feedback. But now they’re trying to force it again and again because apparently people liked it. And by volume 4, it’s just hurting, and I’m wishing I could tell them that there is an ice cream seller near. Let’s get some ice cream, okay? You like ice cream, don’t you? Please?!

Finally Lessy. Doesn’t make the rest any better but I try to tune that out.

Where is the Inou Battle mention?

Don’t know about dubs.

If you like the manga then you will love the anime. It’s the best adaptation I’ve ever seen.

Po or angel girl. Forgot the first rule: never bet against an isekai protag.

Î am aware.

I don’t think I can look past the art style.

So many new series. From the synopsis, The Alchemist’s Fluffy Island Getaway and Return of the Corpse King could be something for me.

<Cooking with Wild Game> Volume 33 by EDA - ★★★★★, 193 MynePages™ - Another wonderful volume. It’s been 1 year since the last clan meeting, where Asuta and Ai Fa got the chance to prove within one year that their actions are the proper way forward for the People of the Forrest. The events in this volume are monumental for the entire region and very emotional on a more personal level for the characters.

<The Amazing Village Creator: Slow Living with the Village Building Cheat Skill> Volume 3 by Shichio Kuzu - ★★☆☆☆, 120 MynePages™ - My one-word review would be a unenthusiastic “meh”.

<Heroine? Saint? No, I’m an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)!> Vol. 1 by Atekichi - ★★★☆☆, 164 MynePages™ - Entertaining series. I wonder if there is any other series where the main character has no idea that they are in an otome game. Usually, it’s the game knowledge guiding the narrative, but here, MC is just ignoring the game’s narrative left and right to fulfill her maidly wishes.

So people now just show up out of nowhere. And then they just come up with their designs out of nowhere. Same with the pictures and everything else. This WIT adaptation continues to take everything that is earned in the novels, cuts out all the effort and their motivations, and then just shows the results. You know, just like in Rocky where the movie starts with some posturing of Rocky and Creed and then there is a cut to them having bloodied faces in the ring. What that wasn’t how the movie played out? I guess it wasn’t done by this WIT team then. Lucky Rocky fans.

But I do have to say that in this episode, I think the after credits scene about the ordonnanz has a very weird spoiler.

Who cares at this point? The ordonnanzes are all wrong anyway.

Too bad Sayu didn’t get that picture at the end on the train.

About the only source that I know as well. But finding a series via the English title is sometimes hit or miss.

Interesting choice to flip the mirror motif.

Also, this was too cute!
