Status Updates From Kamikaze Girls

this books actually quite good

definitely a superior light novel translation. translator actually has a grasp on english language prose and possibly even reads books. still really mired in the typical japanese point-belaboring and joke-repeating though. so we are getting tiresome roast battle prose where a knowing smirk would do the trick and save several pages.

overly affected guy who watches too much corny tv voice: hooooohhh boyyy (blush emoji)

Momoko que pesada (pero graciosa) eres. Te quiero

momoko's narration voice smells like baby powder and frilly dresses, idk how the author did it but kudos bc that's exactly how it should be

"when great happiness unexpectedly swoops down on people, they suddenly turn into cowards. snatching happiness takes a lot more courage than enduring unhappiness"

this author is so inaccurate about the rococo era but I'm turning a blind eye bc I like the message he's going for
