still looking loving the series

I still love this series, even though it gets wonky with the multiple timelines or different dimension variants of them and this release snuck up out of nowhere but a great listen.

Smile and cringe

Once again wonderful with the characters finally dating. Its cute but the characters still have personal problem that need to be work out. Enough problem to bring some tension, but not too toxic that its uncomfortable.

The alternate world stories was also wonderful. As always, all the praise for the narrator along with the author. I would praise the artist for the cover, wish they had pdf of illustration considering it so short.

a big smooch on the forehead

Annalise Scarpaci is my GOAT and she DELIVERED in this first chapter of AdaShima dating arc. You know how long we've been waiting for this?? Can't wait for the rest!!

How do we relationship?

Continue to get personally invested in the awkward fumbling of two melancholy teenagers that might actually be in love. It's not the strongest volume in the series but it's a good tone-setter for their relationship to come. It also has some bonus Not-dachi and Shima-not-a content. Don't think too hard about that, it really is as simple as it looks, remember that.

Looking forward to the rest of the series in audio form, Analise Scarpaci's performance makes it worth listening to every one of them even if you've already read it. It appears up through volume 12 are planned to be made into audiobooks eventually... not to get greedy but I really hope Volume 99.9, Short Stories 1 and Short Stories 2 get made too (for people that are interested in Yashiro and [redacted] especially).
