Combatants Will Be Dispatched Volume 2 Review
Combatants Will Be Dispatched! continues to be an entertaining read. This volume spends a lot of time fleshing out the world and one member of the cast, which is appreciated. While the comedy might be a bit off-putting this time around, fans of Natsume Akatsuki’s work should still enjoy what it offers.

A Sister’s All You Need Volume 5 Review
Although this instalment of A Sister’s All You Need barely comes in at 140 pages, a lot happens. While I wouldn’t mind a return to the usual crazy hijinks the light novels are known for in Volume 6, for now I’m happy to have had the spotlight on the series' most undeveloped character.

Overall, Koyomimonogatari has proven to be an entertaining read. While it’s not the best in the series, the final couple of stories included in Part 2 make up for having to read through two volumes of otherwise unsubstantial tales.

Overall, Last Round Arthurs delivers a satisfying fantasy adventure. The legend of King Arthur and Merlin may be quite different with Luna and Rintaro at the helm, but one thing's for sure - it’ll be a crazy ride. Those of you looking for a new sword and sorcery adventure will love what this light novel has to offer.

The Night is Short, Walk on Girl Review
The Night is Short, Walk on Girl’s novel is a real treat for both newcomers and returning fans to the story. The book is different enough from its adaptation to be a worthwhile read, even for those who are already familiar with the plot, and it offers more depth to the female protagonist.
