I read the whole thing in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. This was probably the best book in the series, despite evincing no strong emotions, because it got so much done. All these romantic entanglements the other books built up have been untangled, all these work-related crisis have been navigated, everyone's on the same page and knows each other's secrets -- it's just great to see so much progress in a plot.
The characters have come a long way from the drunkards who couldn't meet their deadlines. And for once, the entire book is uncovered by the anime, so the price tag over at Amazon is a necessary expense.
I had to read this book the moment I got it because volume 5 had so many cliffhangers, but now I'll return to 'Back to Blood'. Imouto Sae Ireba Ii took so little time to read it barely made a difference. Still, as much as I like this series, I wish I could instead have a translation of volumes 10 and 11 of Haganai. That's the series I really love this author for. . .
There's some sort of announcement planned for the Bleach franchise coming up. If it were an anime of the final arc of the manga that would be game-changing. However, 99-1 that doesn't happen, and it's the announcement of some stupid pinball game or whatever. Still, until the actual announcement is announced, my heart is in my throat in anticipation. One can always dream.
