Volume 5 in my opinion was a bit weaker than the preceding volumes. The jokes feel a bit flat. (Is this one joke manga running out of puff? Given that there’s at least another five volumes in English, it might just be me). Tatsu is introduced to the idea of being lazy, gets sick, goes to an all you can eat buffet and takes on a freestyle rap contest (which might have worked better in the Japanese). I probably will pick up the next volume if I see it at the library, it’s a light series overall perfect for winding down at the end of the day.
