More adventures with Maruko. This series is one of those where if I'm interested in the story at hand, the pages go quickly. If I'm not really interested, it's a chore to finish. Fortunately, I've liked most of the stories so far, so reading it isn't too bad. It still takes me almost 2-3 hours to finish this little book though because there's so much text in here (for manga).
The print quality is consistent in this volume and doesn't suffer from the strange printing issues in the last volume.
The postcard has a Christmas theme and as always, there's a bookmark included with the book.
My favorite stories from this volume is when Hanawa goes on TV for a talent contest and Maruko is in the audience. The big sign she holds up has his name misspelled. Her experiences with a penpal (who later abruptly stops writing) gave me a good laugh too. Oh, and the story where she has a stomach ache during the test was a hilarious one. She wanted to be excused to go to the bathroom, but someone else in the class already used that excuse and was found out to be lying, so she had to just hold it in.
