So, I Can't Play H Vol. 3 (So I Can't Play H!)

In my review of Volume 2 of So I Can't Play H, I worried that the series might be taking a darker turn. I've just read Volume 3 and it was a fun return to sexy farce. Lisara's cousin Qru has moved into the house even if in the last volume, Lisara learned her whole trip to Earth was part of a plot the jealous Qru was launching against her. I found myself reminded of one of the first manga I followed, Oh My Goddess!. Lisara might not be as sweet as Belldandy, but Qru is a good fit as the Urd-like mischief maker, which she proves with a stunt when Lisara emerges from the shower. We also see that the usually confident Lisara is having self-esteem issues thanks to her modest bust size (it seems that an ample bosom is considered a plus for grim reapers). This isn't helped by the appearance of Iria, a schoolmate of Lisara's who edged her out in the grim reaper school rankings, thanks to her supermodel figure. It all leads to a cliffhanger with control of Ryosuke and his magic sword being the prize in a contest between Lisara and Iria. In my review of Volume 2, I said Volume 3 could be make or break with me. It was the former; I want to see what happens next and am anticipating having quite a time. UPDATE 11/3/15: I mentioned Oh My Goddess! in my review. I haven't followed OMG for a number of years but lately, I've felt some nostalgia for it. Last night, I learned from Amazon that the final volume has just been published. My nostalgia has acquired a very sad overtone.

Really enjoyed the art and humor in the series so far.

So happy when I got it. Just what I wanted!

Very good - enjoy these books.
