Review: Shokutaku ni Beer wo

Posted by: NeoSam Date: July 28th, 2007

Here's our first light novel review. thanks to wakataka423 for his review to this title. wakataka423 is a big light novel fan, and our first light novel reviewer, expect more light novel reviews to come from him ^_^

Japanese title:  食卓にビールを
English title:  Shokutaku ni Beer wo

Author:  Kobayashi Megumi
Illustrator:  Tsurugi Yasuyuki
Available volumes:  6 volumes (finished)

Publisher:  Fujimi Shobo
Label:  Fujimi Mystery Bunko

The story is about the daily life of an Okusama Joshikousei (a married high school girl) who is a writer and an otaku in physics. She encounters funny aliens, but her encounter with these aliens doesn't change her pace in life, as she doesn't care about such matters.
This story is a mixture of newlyweds' everyday life and surreal scientific comedy. That's the beauty of this work.
