   The first book was one I read recently when I was looking for something to read. It was super good, and the content was relatively short, allowing us to finish it in one sitting, and it was easy to read without skipping around. The story was also quite engaging, and there was a big plot twist at the end. (*σ´∀`)σ. The second book would satisfy our desire to see a female lead with a pleasant body odor, and many male leads and supporting characters would have one-sided feelings for the female lead, who would be a jerk at heart. There would probably be no male lead at all. The third book is about the female protagonist becoming obsessed with various anime characters, like Detective Conan. And it seems to have six parts.
