Today I finished reading とんがり帽子のアトリエ 11 | L28 and NEW GAME! 5 | L22.
とんがり帽子 is beautiful as always, but also frustrating as is often the case. The story doesn’t progress fast enough and introduces too many convoluted elements. A simpler (and more focused) story that moved more quickly would be more to my liking. (And honestly, I’d prefer if it was a bit darker.) The only reason I keep reading it is because of the art and because I read it with a reading buddy.
For New Game, I was surprised that I enjoyed volume 5. I don’t find the series to be very funny compared to my favorite Manga Time Kirara series, but I enjoy the story and characters. However volume 5 is a spinoff/prequel volume showing Aoba in her senior year of high school, meaning it doesn’t move the main story forward at all. But I still enjoyed it just as much as the first four volumes.
I also bought 28 (I kid you not) volumes of Manga Time Kirara manga because there was a crazy 55 yen sale. So those 28 volumes cost what 2 volumes would normally cost. The thing is, this sale was just for first volumes in a series, so I now have 28 new series to check out. 
I’m sure I’ll be back to post a poll in "What should I read next?" Megathread soon enough, because I’m going to have trouble deciding what to read!
