This week I just read one volume of manga, 怪物事変 vol. 2. Kon is great. I love every scene with her. Shiki and Akari have gotten less annoying too.

Most of my reading was from 雷の季節の終わりに, which I managed to stay on track with this time. The story has picked up and I’m quite enjoying it now; I’ve been feeling compelled to pick it up more often so I’m feeling a lot better than last week. Compared to the other two books I’ve read by this author, it definitely took its sweet time building up the setting and laying the foundation, though I guess that just comes with the territory of long-form fiction rather than the short story format I was used to.
