The first translated volume of “Bottom-Tier Tomozaki” wound up appealing to me not just through “the novelty of a light novel that isn’t set in a fantasy world,” so when its second volume became available I went looking for it. Remembering I’d managed to read the first volume in bigger bites than I usually manage of other translated-from-Japanese novels, I tried to keep pushing through the second, and that effort seemed to help again.
