となりの関くん 5

Five volumes in and I'm still not tired of Seki-Kun's zany antics. There's plenty of crazy time-wasting in this one, but the dynamic is starting to change which I think helps to keep the formula fresh. Seki still has a ton of surprises up his sleeve that show his unique skills and interests, but outside forces are starting to encroach upon his games more frequently and seeing which ones go how he plans and which ones fall apart is a lot of fun and still keeps his character intact without making him impossibly good at everything which might have gotten stale at this point.

Vocab-wise variety there's still a ton of variety. This one felt slightly easier but there's a pretty dense explanation of how condensation works that you'll like pick up a few chemistry-related words from. The author's notes at the end are still a bit tricky with some of the squiggly handwriting, but the grammer in general is still easy so if you're looking for a good series to mine some unique vocab from, Seki's got you covered.
