Adachi and Shimamura (Light Novel), Vol. 8

By: Hitoma Iruma

Narrated by: Analise Scarpaci

HITTING THE ROAD

October has rolled around, and with it, the school trip! As usual, Adachi is only interested in being with Shimamura—and those antisocial tendencies are starting to backfire on her. Not to mention the little stowaway in Shimamura's backpack!

My Girlfriend's Semi-problematic Relationship Behavior is Kinda Cute NGL

Secret subtitle for this book, and it can be said by either of them regarding the other.

Surprise timeline skip at the beginning that isn't just a "what if" scenario shows us they will probably always be social weirdos, only maybe a little more well rounded. No romance is perfect and hey, if it works for them... I can appreciate a relationship like that.

I was kinda surprised the inevitable "Tarumi and Adachi faceoff" didn't actually happen before the book was over. The way it was set up made it seem like it was gonna come up later in the novel, but alas, next time!

😍

We are getting that weird part of light novels where we are jumping across the timeline and into alternative dimensions of the series.

The change is coming

Volume 8 is the volume that the author originally plan as the ending for the series. Of course there are more volumes with extra included. I think its important to note as the series does go all over the place after this. But for now let focus on another fantastic audio production

The narrator once again made the series come alive. Having recently just reading the series, I can't praise the narrator enough. Only think slightly dissapointed is that she does a white rich girl voice for Shimamura when talking english and a southern accent for Adachi but only once. It was a fun nice touch that only happen once but still made me chuckle. Also being able to tell which character is speaking is always nice as it can be confising in the novel at times.

As for the story, it does start to shift heavily on Shimamura side and focus on her new relationship. Its cute and they start examining what it means to be in a relationship with a blue hair alien poppin in during their school firld trip. I did like the future segment as it does show some growth in the character and somethings that stay the same. Its not as exetensial cringe as the other book that made me fall in love with the series but I still appreciate the character and their relationship.

Can't wait for more, especially if they do the extra novels.

Analise Scarpaci adds to her legendary career 🐐🐐🐐🐐

She's already legendary and then she dropped this BANGER of a novel?! honestly a great read by Analise. Loved this book as the girlfriends develop their love life & we get a peak at their future!!!
