nichijou: my ordinary life, Volume 3

Mai is in yet another embarrassing situation where people are likely to see her BL art. Mr. Takasaki has a crush on the guidance counselor, Miss Sakurai, but is too socially awkward to ask her to go out mushroom hunting with him. Mai and Yuuko get into a big fight inspired by Yuuko buying Mai fried mackerel for lunch rather than the fried macaroni she asked for.

In every volume there are jokes I just don't get, plus a few I sorta kinda enjoy. This volume went back to the more so-so feeling of volume 1, although I did get some amusement out of Mr. Takasaki's sheer nerdiness. I suspect that the man's closest friends might be his eggplants.

Extras:

A couple full-color pages.

I've read three of these now, and I just don't get the humor. I think I chuckled once each book over a panel or a strip, but the rest of the time I'm just left shaking my head in befuddlement. No more for me, thanks.

Can I just say that I love Mio and Yuuko's friendship? So cute!! Plus they go from wanting to murder each other to complimenting each other, the best kind of friendship
