I finished reading toradora and the volumes 1 to 3 of Magdala de nemure a while ago.

Currently reading "fushigi" toriatsukaimasu Tsukumodou Kottouten. I plan to read the 7 volumes in one go, and am currently at the second volume.

Looks like an interesting lecture ! I may start reading it once. What a shame it's not translated anymore. :|

I'm currently reading no LN but instead waiting for my Spice and Wolf Artbook to arrive. :mrgreen:

I may start reading Campione seriously as soon as I have time ^^

Recently started reading Legendary Moonlight Sculptor and I must say I am extremely impressed by it.

One of the most interesting reads that I have had so far.

It is mainly about VR, something along the lines of SAO but with more focused on the RPG elements. Highly recommended for people to go check it out, especially if they are gamers and like RPG content.
Don't you just love reading? I think it is one of the joys of life, where we can escape the cold reality of the world and exist in something so much more fun and exciting! ^_^

It's a really nice novel.

So I finished Tsukumodou Kottouten, read the first 6 volumes of B.A.D., read the 4th and 5th volume of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, as well as the volume 1 and 2 of Reinousha Minato.
B.A.D was almost as good so far as Tsukumodou Kottouten and Reinousha Minato may be even better, so really entertaining lecture lately.

I just started reading Mondaijitachi ga isekai kara kuru sou desu yo? volume 1.

Like I mentioned above, Legendary Moonlight Sculptor!

It is seriously worth reading.

Premise is about VR MMORPG, so it is a little similar to SAO in that you can do basically everything in real life in the game.

The MC is about as badass, probably even more so than Kirito. If you are someone who likes playing RPG like me, you will definitely love this.

I think that I lost too much sanity recently.

- Seeking for Death (story written by the author of Kanojo ga Flag o Oraretara)
Spoiler! :
The ear-cutting scene gave me a nausea.
- Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru
Spoiler! :
... I forgot the pixel censorship that comes in almost all the scenes involving Pedro. Now involving a Russian shemale.
And no, this is not inspired of the spambot wave.
- Shokugeki no Soma
Spoiler! :
Yandere lesbian stalker now in love (?) with her rival. Can the WTF factor be higher?
Speaking of the latter, a novel seems to be in the works.
I guess that two people here will enjoy the news (Code-Zero and larethian)

You know I actually enjoyed KSKM quite a lot, to the extent that I went ahead and read the manga in traditional Chinese.

I even went as far as to buy the volumes that haven't been uploaded online from my local bookstores because I just felt that it would be a waste to stop there and also because there's a 20% sale going on right now 8)

I finished mondaiji series vol 1 & 2, Ookami to Koushinryou vol 1 & 2, and Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon vol 1 to 4, Cube x Cursed x Curious volume 15 to 17, and Baccano vol 18 to 21.
Mondaiji was a disapointment. I'll give the series a second chance by reading up to the 5th volume, but I'm not expecting a lot from it.
Ookami to koushinryou was quite awesome. I already had a lot of expectation for that title, but the first two volumes were even above my expectations.
Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon was... Very long to read (well, duh.), and quite hard with all the specific vocabulary used and the variety of topics (economy, politics, strategy, japanese history, european history....) involved in each volume. But quite interesting to read anyway.
Cube x Cursed x Curious's end was nice. It didn't give all the answers that I wanted to know so not completely satisfied; but it is still satisfying all around nonetheless.
Baccano's 1935's arc is still not finished, but very promising so far. Huey's plan is ridiculous (in a good way). I felt like laughing like mad exactly like Fermet did when understanding his objective this time. wow. And so many characters involved, with surprising temporary alliances to boot.

Currently reading Rokka no Yuusha 4 (at long last!). As good as usual. Meaning, extremely good.
Next will be Magdala de Nemure 4. Considering the cliffhanger in the end of the 3rd volume, quite expecting from this one.

I just finished the third and final volume 世界の終わり、素晴らしき日々より (After the World's End from the Good Times). That was one great bittersweet end. The book had everything I wanted: non-exaggerated comedy, vivid descriptions, good writing, no silly ecchi stuff, an appropriate amount of drama that helps the characters grow, some romance with a nice kiss scene (and even implied sex), serious scenes with consequences, no ass-pulls, and a good epilogue that wraps the story up and gives a glimpse of the protagonists' futures.

Next on the list are the remaining volumes of Rengoku Hime (from which I took my current avatar).
