An adorable manga about a mom quietly being an ally for her less-than-subtle son who she suspects is gay. I enjoyed the high levels of fluff in this first volume. #LGBTQIA #Motherhood

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)
I really wanted to love this one as I adore books and the thought of living in a town that is a book haven sounded like a dream. The beginning had a strong start, however it got a little confusing in the middle and I was unsure of what was happening. I‘m intrigued to see how the series continues and perhaps another volume might increase my standing for this series.

Gamer girl: the lore is IRL
*Asterixed boxes: you need to touch grass
From the little video game play I've seen, as indicated here, 'looking for treasure' does seem to involve a lot of the very cat-like behaviour of knocking stuff down and smashing it. 😆
This volume is back with the action adventure I was hoping for.
Nothing against Anya but sometimes she takes away from the original plot but anyways this volume was more of Loid being his operative self and hunting down a mole in their midst.
All in all this was a good volume and thanks to that illegal cliffhanger, I'm off to find the next volume at the library.
I have such a love-hate relationship with this manga (and the series overall). Like you can tell it's kinda stuck in the time that it was made attitude-wise but by god did I always crack the heck up when I read it....
Stars (out of 5): 3.75
Garterbelt is even more unhinged in the manga than in the anime, which is something that I never thought possible.
Throw back to last week when I went to a book bedazzling event! I bought this book just for the occasion!
