Speaking of, I really need to finish volume 6.
I'm at the climatic battle in the last parts too but holidays kept me away from it constantly.
Finishing Bookworm's Arc 2 before going to bed was a mistake.
I've just started arc 3 myself, what was it in the arc that kept you up?

Ah right, just started reading 86's 7th volume as well.
They've really been advertising it well huh.
Picked up 86 volume 7 myself. Seems like a romance focused volume.
super hyped for the anime.
86 v7: Finally. Power of love defeats racism and PTSD.
I told mami in the anime thread that the romance sometimes feels pretty joseimuke, well vol7 doubled down on that. tfw no dapper Shin gentleman bf.
Read Volume 4 of Tomozaki.
Took me a bit to get into it with the references to the part-time job stuff that got glazed over in the anime and Tomozaki coming off as a bit of a sociopath with the mentions of consciously and mechanically smiling and such but it smoothed out pretty quickly. I'm pretty curious what Hinami thinks of Tama; is she a bellwether for her? Certainly didn't expect the ending, which is somewhat sad. Emotions and earnestness only take you so far before you have to play the game... Is what I'd like to say, but where are the teachers lol? Japanese school system for you, I guess.
The volume was really funny when it wanted to be, though. I especially like the teasing give-and-take rapport Hinami and Tomozaki have. I can only hope we get the end of the basketball game animated one day. Also, it's hilarious how obviously besotted Tomozaki is with Kikuchi.
Now to decide whether to read V3 for the skipped stuff or V5 for progress.
Read Volumes 3 and 5 of Tomozaki.
Not much to say about 3 besides that I'm glad the finger wag was in the novel too. The anime really did bring it home. Now volume 5, whoof. Tama is powerful, and Tomozaki really has grown. LMAO at how blazing his crush is though, looks like next volume handles that so that should be hype. Curious if those are Mimimi flags I'm seeing too.I'm more curious than ever about why Hinami's the way she is.Spoiler:
Onto Volume 6!
I wanna see Tamas smile + peace sign in the anime, hoping for s2. What a good girl.
Gotta get started on vol 6 soon myself.
Potions LN is a riot, and I'm geniunely frustrated that I have to delay buying volume 6 of FUNA's best protagonist's adventures.
Tomozaki vol 6: Mizusawa is seriously such an amazing guy, goddamn. Really liked this volume, probably my fave along with 3 and 5.
