Pick of the Week: The Calm Before the Storm

MICHELLE: Ordinarily, I would be all about picking Chihayafuru at this juncture, but Princess Jellyfish is in a really dramatic spot right now and I think it has the slight edge. But really, you should read both.

SEAN: I’ve fallen behind on both Chihayafuru and Princess Jellyfish, so will turn to light novels for my pick. The premise for Walking My Second Path in Life sounds great, and does not appear, fingers crossed, to be an isekai. I’m a sucker for princesses who resolve to become knights, really.

KATE: I’m hoarding my change for next week.

ASH: I will definitely need all the change that I can get for next week but, like Michelle, I simply can’t resist picking up the latest volume of Princess Jellyfish!

ANNA: I have to admit, I’m behind on both Chihayafuru and Princess Jellyfish, but I’m still very excited that they are both coming out. I’m a little more attached to Chihayafuru though, so that is my pick!
