Not that long after reading the first two volumes of Nico Nicholson’s My Lovesick Life as a ’90s Otaku in rapid succession and commenting on both of them, I picked up the third instalment of the manga. Very little time passed between that and ordering the fourth volume, and I started thinking about making another double comment. By the time that fourth volume showed up, though, I’d realised it would be the conclusion of the series. Having started reading the manga in part through the thought I ought to “begin new titles,” having it wrap up so soon was a little hard to take for a few moments. After that, I did start wondering if a longer series would have changed from “ha-ha, I got that reference” to “arrgh, why don’t they settle things?”
