What happened to him? I kinda hope the manga can hopefully flesh that out in the future since the novel didn't。 。。。more

got it yesterday, finished it today。 honestly im disappointed。 the original was a good variation on the overpowered Isekai trope。 also haru is pregnant and about to have a child and there's just no context to it??? i don't care abt kiyori or lupe or chiba (especially chiba) so im uninvested got it yesterday, finished it today。 honestly im disappointed。 the original was a good variation on the overpowered Isekai trope。 also haru is pregnant and about to have a child and there's just no context to it??? i don't care abt kiyori or lupe or chiba (especially chiba) so im uninvested 。。。more

Not as good as the first, but it has some interesting new (and fleshed out) characters and is overall very heartwarming。

Not strictly a sequelI read several reviews that rated this book poorly based on the fact that they were expecting a proper sequel and got this book instead。 I would say that this book is more like one of the intermediary volumes between a book and a sequel。 It is really full of short stories that are primarily either character development, and/or 'the other side' of events that happened in the first volume, but were only described from one character's viewpoint。That said, I really enjoyed it。 I Not strictly a sequelI read several reviews that rated this book poorly based on the fact that they were expecting a proper sequel and got this book instead。 I would say that this book is more like one of the intermediary volumes between a book and a sequel。 It is really full of short stories that are primarily either character development, and/or 'the other side' of events that happened in the first volume, but were only described from one character's viewpoint。That said, I really enjoyed it。 I have a high regard for Ko Hiratori's ability to blend humor into a serious and often dark story。 From what I can tell, it is a stepping stone to a future, 'true' sequel。 。。。more

At first, I was confused if the book and manga are one and the same。 I read the manga and I loved it, so i bought the book too。My opinion of the Manga: I'm a huge fan of Ko Hiratori's bold approach despite what the more sensitive readers might think of it。 The story is addictive。 Haru's character is very rich, human, and very real。 Her emotions complexity are fascinating。 I am astonished how Ko Hiratori was able to capture her mental and emotional side so perfectly。 Haru represents a very common At first, I was confused if the book and manga are one and the same。 I read the manga and I loved it, so i bought the book too。My opinion of the Manga: I'm a huge fan of Ko Hiratori's bold approach despite what the more sensitive readers might think of it。 The story is addictive。 Haru's character is very rich, human, and very real。 Her emotions complexity are fascinating。 I am astonished how Ko Hiratori was able to capture her mental and emotional side so perfectly。 Haru represents a very common, yet hardly ever approached, kind of women that most writers pretends don't exist。I love the manga, and i will continue to read it, and even purchase a paperback copy, even after I have already finished the book。The novel: My feelings about the book are a bit more complex。 First of all, the book will not pass as a proper Novel by many standards。 It lacks proper editing。 The translation is so-so。 the focus on "overly-detailed" sex scenes is a big "negative" for many readers。 The dialogue is confusing and you will find yourself at loss many times as to who is talking due to lack of interlocutors (unless you're truly immersed into the story)。 The language used is "too modern" for a primitive world, and "too japanese" for english readers, and too "comical" for proper novels' speech (I mean the excessive use of stuttering like "W-What" "D-Don't" or use of "unfinished sentences" which is the kind of dialogue only used in manga)。 Many english words were misused。 Many scenes and short-descriptions could have been written better。 And a lot of Japanese culture influence on the text was left unexplained, like the use of certain words and sentences that are very common for Japanese readers, but in english (and for foreigners as a whole) it makes no sense whatsoever。All in all, the novel is more of A SCRIPT FOR A MANGA than it is an actual novel。 It will cost a lot of time and money to turn it to a proper english-novel。That being said: If you are as big of a fan about the story-line itself, as i am, then you will be able to overlook all the negativity i mentioned and "read into the story itself"。 And you will not be disappointed。 This is an amazing tale。 Original。 Fascinating。 Not easily predictable。 At some point it made my eyes watery, and at another it took me by complete surprise。I love the story。 It's wonderful。If Ko Hiratori is reading this: I want you to know that I'm buying the next book, and I will be following your work from now on, my friend, and I hope you have a look at my work (Natir Whitebridge) you will not be disappointed ;) 。。。more

For a sequel to JK Haru, it's a lot better than what I expected。Instead of directly following the plot to kill the demon lord or describing more interaction with customers of the brothel Haru is working at, it focuses on the character development of some of the establish cast in the format of short stories following the events of the first book。Overall, a very different reading experience than the first book with a lot of interesting idea and concept。 For a sequel to JK Haru, it's a lot better than what I expected。Instead of directly following the plot to kill the demon lord or describing more interaction with customers of the brothel Haru is working at, it focuses on the character development of some of the establish cast in the format of short stories following the events of the first book。Overall, a very different reading experience than the first book with a lot of interesting idea and concept。 。。。more

3。5 stars。 Not as good as the first but still decent。 The characters are still getting more fleshed out but the main character was not touched on as much in this volume。

The sequel to the piss-taking Isekai about a girl becoming a prostitute in a sexist fantasy world, this book unfortunately lacks some of the fun from it's predecessor。 It also follows a slice-of-life style story, but this time it bounces between more characters than just Haru herself。 While it's still charming in its own way, the writing remains mediocre。Unfortunately, the story is a bit harder to follow, acting as a sequel in the timeline established previously。 The first half is essentially fo The sequel to the piss-taking Isekai about a girl becoming a prostitute in a sexist fantasy world, this book unfortunately lacks some of the fun from it's predecessor。 It also follows a slice-of-life style story, but this time it bounces between more characters than just Haru herself。 While it's still charming in its own way, the writing remains mediocre。Unfortunately, the story is a bit harder to follow, acting as a sequel in the timeline established previously。 The first half is essentially following a linear story, but the second half jumps back and follows a side character's perspective of essentially the same tale。 If you suddenly get lost once the perspective shifts, that's why。 The story of Haru herself ends on a bit of a cliffhanger letdown and nothing further is said about it before the story switches perspectives。 I hope the author writes another book in this universe, and I also hope they can improve their writing style。 (I'm aware that it may be a translation issue but since I can't read Japanese, my opinion will remain the same until proven otherwise) 。。。more

This is pretty good, but the Kindle version is definitely marred by a pretty horrid formatting job - there's a spacing issue between words on literally every page of this particular edition。 I kept track in the beginning but just gave up after a while。 Just a heads up if you plan on buying the kindle version instead of premium epub version or another publisher。 This is pretty good, but the Kindle version is definitely marred by a pretty horrid formatting job - there's a spacing issue between words on literally every page of this particular edition。 I kept track in the beginning but just gave up after a while。 Just a heads up if you plan on buying the kindle version instead of premium epub version or another publisher。 。。。more

JK Haru: Summer is a semi-sequel to the original JK Haru that the author self-published in Japan。 Thankfully, J-Novel Club was able to license it through Hayakawa so we could read it。 However, Summer is different from the original in that it's a series of short stories told mainly from the points of view of side characters, instead of Haru, and fleshes out their backstories。 In that respect, I would say it was a success and I really enjoyed it。 Though there were still a few sad parts, I apprecia JK Haru: Summer is a semi-sequel to the original JK Haru that the author self-published in Japan。 Thankfully, J-Novel Club was able to license it through Hayakawa so we could read it。 However, Summer is different from the original in that it's a series of short stories told mainly from the points of view of side characters, instead of Haru, and fleshes out their backstories。 In that respect, I would say it was a success and I really enjoyed it。 Though there were still a few sad parts, I appreciated the overall lighter tone of this book in comparison to the original, which got pretty bleak at times。Of all the characters fleshed out in this book, I came away with a better understanding and even appreciation for Chiba (the idiotic classmate of Haru's who was transported into this world too when they died)。 For a character I despised in the original book, ironically, my favorite part of Summer was his chapter toward the end, which was a great culmination of a few plot points in the book。 Before I read that chapter, I was feeling good about the book but not very good, but because I felt so satisfied after reading that chapter, I'm still giving this book 4 stars。 I enjoyed the chapter that much。In comparison, the ending unfortunately couldn't compare though it was fun in its own right。 I couldn't help but want more of a resolution with the demon lord than what we got, which is my only criticism。 Any "closure" on that front happened off-screen since Haru isn't the primary POV character in this book。 Here's to hoping the author will write a full-on sequel volume of Haru, not just a series of short stories because I would love to read it。 Though it starts off a little slow and the ending was just okay, I came away satisfied that I read it。 I definitely recommend it to those who were able to read through the original JK Haru as it does an excellent job fleshing out side characters, especially Chiba。 。。。more
