I just finished the 10th volume of 名探偵コナン! Considering how long this series is, hitting 10 volumes already feels like a small milestone to me. 😃 Originally, I planned to watch the anime regularly so that I could hear the words I’d read in the manga. Well... somehow I didn't manage to keep up with the anime. 😅 I'll try again.    

After 3 volumes of くまクマ熊ベアー I wanted to increase the level of difficulty a bit. 灰原くんの強くて青春ニューゲーム was perfect for that.  Since the story is slice-of-life, it’s easy to follow. I also liked the twist later in the book. The main character’s desire to change the past and reinvent himself felt very relatable to me. It’s interesting to see how he tries to improve his situation and how the outcome differs from his expectations. This series is more difficult than くまクマ熊ベアー but after finishing the first few chapters, I was quite used to most of the authors favorite vocabulary and expressions. I think I'll read the next one or two volumes before switching to something else.
