I just finished reading the novelization of Onegai Teacher, but it failed to impress me much.
The entire book is presented as episodes in between the anime, that serve to add some back story to the relationship between Kei and Mizuho. Now I was expecting service to be present in the book to some extent and the first four stories did give no surprises in that respect, but the final story and the epilogue did. I am still not decided whether I should be appalled by the semi explicit implicity of these two, or to applaud Go Zappa for going beyond the boundaries of the series and introducing not only sexual innuendo but the carnal acts as well.
Fortunately, the next books on my never shrinking pile will probably be Gakuto Coda's Missing and some combination of Nurarihyon no Mago, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, Tsubasa and some Tsukihime for good measure.
On to the reason for my neverending supply of reading material.
Approximately once every month the Bookfest will come to a city in Belgium or The Netherlands, bringing with it folios, paperbacks, deluxe editions, computer programming books, comic books and whatnot, all at a very reasonable price.
Needless to say that I usually try to visit at least a couple of them each year.
Yesterday was one of those occassions and verily, it did deliver unto me some nice new volumes. Not too much, but enough manga to get me through a rainy day and some books to while away the weary travel to and fro university. (as if Pokémon and banter with friends could not entertain me otherwise)
Now I need only prepare for a weekend filled with birthday parties and conventions to attend.
