This was so much fun!

[Shannon · Rating 4 out of 5]

This volume proves that anything written in this universe is bound to be delightful. A series of short stories and lightly connected events that showcase our main character’s best and not so ideal sides. My favorite was definitely the first story with the three sages, Monica, Ray, and Louis interacting, but the story with the lost little girl and her spirit guardian is a close second. Monica and Felix’s quest for some secretive reading time in the library was also a masterful display of the novel’s tongue and check humor on full display. A great way to give some breathing room to the main story and add even more depth to those already lovely characters.

Cute slice-of-life style that fits between Vols 4 and 5. Also, the writer saying it could have been called Vol 4, fragment, but she misunderstood "fragment" to be "flamingo" LOL 😭

Anyway, it was really cute! A bit of a break from the main story, but some stories are pretty draggy and made me put down the book for a bit. Particularly, Elliot and Benjamin's case.

Isabelle's story made it up for it after though. She's so cute LOL. And Lana as well.

This has to be the funniest collection. Louis is (yes a man whose moral compass is a roulette whell) a SIMP. Felix is also a simp xD and his subtle jealousy of Cyril and Monica is just too cute. and okay Cyril liking animals and getting decieved by fluffy coats is another heart-melting thing. Monica, omg, she is rabbit meal xD.

Comme son nom l'indique, c'est un tome de transition essentiellement composé de petites histoires Slice of Life.

Bon c'était malheureusement pas très intéressant. J'aime plutôt bien la première et la dernière histoire, mais le reste est assez quelconque.

A very silly set of mysteries taking place between v4 and v5. I love learning more about her “villainess” “sister” who is helping her build her cover. What a cute family!

I enjoyed the additional characterizations for some of the side characters, but I'm starting to feel like the series is lagging a bit behind on plot progression at vol. 4 + this.
