Personal Opinion
I started reading it about 6 months ago and liked the funny situations they bump into.
But I found it a bit hard to understand back then, so I figured it might be better suited for the Intermediate club than for the Beginner club. (But maybe that’s just me…)
Pros and Cons for the Book Club
Pros
- We don’t read that many manga in the Intermediate Book Club.
- It’s not too long (134 pages, 9 episodes) and should be a quick read.
- The humour might be a refreshing alternation after all those “serious” books.
- There are currently 17 volumes available (not sure whether there will be more to come?) plus an anime and a movie with real actors. (Ok, maybe this is a con after all?)
Cons
- It is about (making fun of) religion and so it might hurt somebody’s feelings?
