Five stars: Komi Can't Communicate, Volume 6 by Tomohito Oda (2017) spends most of its time on what if stories. The boys in the classroom spend their time playing "who would you date" and imagining scenarios. It's an entertaining diversion from the repetition of Komi trying to socialize given her anxiety.

Four stars: Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz by L. Frank Baum and John R. Neill (1908) is Dorothy's third trip to Oz and marks the Wizard's return to Oz. Although I love the series as a whole I find myself liking this one less and less each time I read it.
