Pick of the Week: Saints Alive!

SEAN: I’m always here for light novels that are not ‘variations on a popular theme’, like isekai and ‘weak to strong’… even themes I like, such as villainess titles. As such, my pick this week is Spy Classroom, which seems to be along the lines of “What if 86 was a romantic comedy with spies?”. I enjoy espionage-style titles.

MJ: I admit there isn’t a lot to lure me in this week, but I’m always happy to see a new installment of Saint Young Men, so sign me up for that!

MICHELLE: I’ll go for DAYS this week. I’ve fallen quite a bit behind, but I do enjoy it.

KATE: What, no votes for Does a Hot Elf Live Next Door to Me?! C’mon, where’s your spirit of adventure? Seriously, though, this week feels like visiting the grocery store right before a major snowstorm (or hurricane, for that matter): most of the shelves are empty, and what’s left are a few rolls of off-brand toilet paper. But in the spirit of PotW, I’ll cast my vote for Saint Young Men, a manga I wanted to like more than I actually did.

ANNA: I will make One Piece volume 97 my pick since it is a favorite in my household.

ASH: It’s Saint Young Men for me, too! Hikaru Nakamura’s manga and particular sense of humor just works for me. My experience with Nakamura’s other series Arakawa Under the Bridge was similar.
