"Eromanga Sensei" volume 13 by Fushimi Tsukasa. The end of another imouto series.
The other imouto series I am referring to is "Imouto sae Ireba Ii". Coincidentally, the timing of the final volumes is such that the final volume of Imouto sae Ireba Ii was published just around the start of the pandemic (when everyone started working from home), while this volume was published around the end (when everyone started returning to office). It's more than likely that the pandemic negatively affected the author just as it affected us all, and the text in this volume appears to overcompensate against those effects, including lines such as "let's start a pandemic that makes everyone happy". Overall, this volume is very sweet. It's saccharine.
This volume is so sweet, there is hardly any conflict. If this novel series was one long movie, this volume would be just the end credits -- every character made an appearance and all promises were fulfilled. The biggest event might be the fact that Sagiri finally made it to school, but the rest of the pages didn't feel as impactful as the ending for the other imouto series. I blame the pandemic.
Despite the soft ending, I thought this was a very consistent series throughout, and I am sure I will remember the past few years as the wonderful times punctuated by two imouto series.
