Gonna be on a bit of a break since I'm out of town and only brought two manga, one for the trip out and one for the trip back. Speaking of which

Disappearance of Yuki Nagato

Was kinda odd. It's a spin-off of Haruhi, now with significantly less Haruhi. And.... Vastly different personalities for everybody. Yuki is now a generic shy bookworm with a thing for Kyon. Tsuruya is kinda a bully and a big fan of Mikuru. Asakura backs Yuki against them for Kyon. 's weird.

I have a complicated relationship with Haruhi. Season 1 was one of my favorites ever at the time. S2.... Maybe it got bad, or my tastes changed, or trying to slog through endless 8 legit was that bad an idea, but.....I couldn't finish it. Haruhi wasn't fun anymore, Yuki wasn't really participating, and the rest of the cast couldn't carry the slack for me. I didn't pick it back up even for best girl Yuki getting a movie either, even on promises it was what I wanted. This is really the first Haruhi thing I've consumed since then and it.... Doesn't have much to do with the original. It's probably some canon shenanigans, but....ehhh. This Yuki is cute. But she's not the "real" Yuki.

My rating: 7/10.
This goes in what I call the Star Trek (reboot) pile. It's fine as its own thing. But it just feels like a generic (albeit decent) rom com manga on which we slapped the skins of Haruhi characters. In this case there's probably a canon reason why half the cast is significantly OOC. I'm just not inspired to stick with it long enough to figure it out.

Discussion: what's your Star trek pile? Ie a spin-off/remake/sequel/etc that is really not true to the franchise but is fine if you don't have that expectation
Next hint: time for more mediocre (iirc) manga of things I really like!
