Pretty sure they would all give up their calendar day in exchange for No Exceptions to Minimum Wage Day, though.

Played: Nothing, Kelsey is dead from work and it’s Ken’s anniversary or something. Next week for sure?

Read: The Ancient Magus’ Bride vol 18-19 (Kore Yamazaki): The last volume I have, which fortunately is also the end of the arc! Some people got what was coming to them, some people got less than they deserved. I wonder what the next arc will be? Chise and Elias don’t seem to have been thrown out of the College, but maybe that’s just because the administrative hearing won’t be convened until after winter holidays.

Read: Hitomi-chan is Shy With Strangers vol 8 (Chorisuke Natsumi): Apparently I only liked this one for the gimmick, because now that nobody is terrified of the FMC and it’s just characters, meh. I think it has to come off the list.

Read: Chainsaw Man vol 1 (Tatsuki Fujimoto): Apparently super-popular, so I picked up the first volume to see why. A young boy, trapped into hunting monsters by the yakuza holding his late parents’ debt (apparently this is how Japanese law actually works?!), is betrayed and murdered and comes back to life by merging with his monstrous chainsaw-puppy. Recruited by the civic monster-hunting squad, cute female leader treats him like a dog (ah, that must be the fan appeal), lots of transformation violence, etc. Presumably there will be many power-ups in later volumes. Obviously it would be better if all major characters were female.

Read: The Pale House Devil (Richard Kadrey): Supernatural hitmen with hearts of gold (14K or so) get roped into working for a horrible old man who called up that which he could not put down, take a shine to his daughter, betrayal and murder ensue continue. I would read more about these characters.
