American Kitsune, Vol 5 (Light Novel)

I've grown to like this series, and my only real complaint is that they don't come out fast enough. 110% ecchi, and anime-related dumb humor. If you're looking for entertainment with no intellectual effort required, and we all need some of that in this world, this series could go on forever, IMHO. For the intended market, this represent a new high in low-brow.The author shows a command of the anime/manga fan world, and no detail of the real world is allowed to spoil his universe. I would suggest he invest in a thesaurus, and use it. Some expressions intended to be colorful become tiresome when they appear at least once per page. I would rate the humor as G, for "goofy". Everything else is solidly in the PG-13 range, except for a few set-piece scenes of sexy or violence, where it sticks a toe across the "soft R" boundary.I give him credit giving the ecchi a good workout without ever having to exceed his own boundaries except for a sentence or two. The "violence" is either anime-type humorous or slapstick. The real-type violence is rare, and has no relation to the real-world. But the major villains sometimes have to throw a grenade, rather than a banana cream pie. But it's still a denatured version, and most readers won't have up-close and personal experience with that kind of hardware.I have minor issues with editorial competency in a few matters of vocabulary, where a common word is used in place of a very specific item that sounds the same, spells differently, and has a vastly different meaning. It's a fingers-on-the-chalkboard item inaudible except to dogs, and people who are required know the dirrerence.Any chance of a parallel graphic novel as well? Those pencil thumbnails are appealing, so the artistic talent is already there.

Another enjoyable adventure from Brandon! Thanks again for writing this! I liked the fights, way more of them, and very well done. Juggling and using all those techniques was fun to read; really showed how crazy a supernatural fight can get, especially with creatures that actually use thier cool powers!On the other hand, I was hoping for some resolutions to Kevin woes, both physical and romantic, or at least more progress than there was....Which is not to say I didn't love this book. Just that I know you have some cool answers to Kevins justified frustrations and the love dodechahedron, and I want to see them. As well as the lowdown on Christine's cat.I guess that comes off as demanding huh? Sorry!Anyway, I really enjoyed this book! Thank you!

While still containing the same type of jokes as the previous parts, it is definitely taking a turn for the dark, even more than part 4. It was still a quick fun read, and the twists certainly add more depth to the various characters. Considering the genre and style, there is certainly suprisingly much character growth. Really curious were things are going...Not sure how I feel about the fights. They certainly read like anime battles, but I feel Kiara's frustration of fighting kitsune and their illusions: too long, never certain when something is real and when not. I am not sure a reader should feel that way.Maybe it is the turn for the dark and character growth that makes it a bit harder to ignore some of the more obvious plot holes. For a group about protecting humanity, they are surprisingly willing to risk the involvement of innocents unnecessary...

After devouring this book in one sitting, I have to say it is my favorite in what is becoming one of my favorite book series. I love all the references, the silliness, the characters, and just all the craziness that happens in this series. This book also added a bit of darkness into the series and I think it made it really stand out from the others. I'm really looking forward to how this develops in future books and I can't wait for even more from the author.

The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars was because all the books so far have had grammer/spelling errors, or the wrong word was used altogether. It was fine for the first few, but since he's made so many now, you would think either him or the editor would catch them. But, like I said, I can usually guess what he was trying to say, so it's just a minor problem. Still love the story and look forward to more.

The story is really starting to pick up in this book. The author manages to tell a very compelling story that is somehow serious without taking itself too seriously. This book also contains all the harem anime hijinks and fan service you could ask for.

The story and writing keep getting better.This time the story took some unexpected turns. I love it when a writer is able to use enough foreshadowing that the outcome doesn't seemed forced, but not so much that I figure out the ending ahead of time.

I don't like going on a long rant and i don't like spoilers but the way this book took that last turn near the end made this i think my favorite so far since Kevin is at a critical point in his life ( think the first time in rosario + vampire moka gave tsukune blood the first time...everything has changed and he will live the those consequences)

The book is so good that I'm going to read it again! The author is really cool too, he even sent me some pictures from his books that he said I could use to make a custom 3ds theme!
