This got intense.

The balance between tension and relaxation time is not done very well. It's a little too intense. It is the ending of an arc, though. It's understandable but too much. The story's interesting, just in a niche. If you're not in the niche, you probably won't be interested.

Re-read 2021: A super emotional volume this one. The battle begins and it gets gruesome and so far out of hand, my heart broke for our Library team and Kasahara who had to fire her first shots at an actual human being. Then there is more happening and man, this was just an emotional and shocking rollercoaster. I am so glad that Dojo was there to be there for Kasahara, I really love their moments together. How he comforts her, compliments here, but also boops her on the head when she does dumb things. I am quite glad with the bonus manga as it brought some light in the volume (plus, it made me laugh my butt off, oh man those are some delusions).
There are lots of tears in this one and I found myself tearing up as well.
I so cannot wait for the next few volumes. Just a few more to go before it ends. I will miss this series, but I will definitely re-read it in a few years again (though hopefully no pandemics by then).

Dearest fellow Library Wars fanatics: run, don't walk, to your nearest bookstore. Pick up a fresh copy of volume eleven of this series. Pay for it, for goodness' sake. Immediately sit down and read it. Don't even bother reading the book's back blurb, just crack it open as soon as possible and read. This is top notch Library Wars, a series at its peak, a perfect combination of action and drama, humor and romance, struggle and triumph.

You can read my complete review of LIBRARY WARS' eleventh volume here at my blog.

Adorable

I think what I most like about this series is that it develops all of its characters. Not one main character is slighted, they have have flaws and they work on them.

Another in the continuing Library Wars: Love & War manga series. As usual, our heroes are defending the libraries while trying to figure out their romantic lives. Sweet and fast paced like the others in the series.

This volume was much more serious than the previous ones.

There’s a lot going on, with them fighting censorship, and then having to deal with the repercussions, some of which are very serious. There’s even some crying. I’m not going to go into detail, though, so as not to spoil anything.

And while this volume was very good, I’m honestly looking forward to getting back to the fun stuff.

There’s some intense stuff going on with Iku, particularly romance wise. Honestly, I love that she’s admitted her feelings to herself. The development with her emotions toward Dojo is great. I love seeing her deal with it, get embarrassed over it, try to hide it. Especially in the bonus chapters at the end of the volume.

I’m also enjoying the development between Shibazaki and Tezuka. They are quite cute and hilarious. I also still love Komaki and Marie. Meaning, of course, that I’m just loving all of the characters.

While this volume was very serious, and a lot of important stuff happened, it was still very good. I can’t wait for the next one.
