There's some fighting and violence, including a scene where a parent goads a child into brutally fighting with others. A secondary plotline involves close contact with an extraterrestrial and humans' place in the cosmos. Most of the adults are realistically flawed: They have great talents but also very human weaknesses. Dashiell is pressured into investigating, despite his parents' efforts to keep him out of the drama while the adults grapple with a crisis that could end the lunar mission. Parents need to know that Waste of Space - the third and final book in Stuart Gibbs' Moon Base Alpha series - is another mystery set on an experimental moon base in the year 2041, this time focusing on the attempted murder of an almost universally despised lunarnaut. Mention of Skittles candy and references to Star Wars and Star Trek series.

We also get a lot more Nao content in this volume since he has become friends with an incredibly shy gamer named Ko, who he assumes is a boy and even uses the male honorific of kun but Ko is actually a girl. This volume had some incredibly funny moment such as Narumi accidently dragging Kabakura instead of Hirotaka onto a scary ride and the amusement park where both couples are on dates and this scence was perfectly adapted in the anime. That being said Yuri on Ice was incredibly popular while it was airing and it is only this year the movie was actually announced to come out so we might get more anime of Wotakoi in the future. I was really surprised that the anime only adapted two omnibus volume or four singular volumes out of the possible 11 and that despite its popularity it didn’t get a second season.

I don’t do the dance where I can’t move on to another book very often…but this author, in the span of two months, has managed to do just that-make it impossible to read anything for a week or more after-with two novels I think I’ll take with me to my grave. Even fewer still are the moments where I can’t even finish a page because I can’t seem to find the breath to support the amount of air in my lungs it takes to supply hosting a mass amount of butterflies inhabiting my stomach, throat, and chest cavities.
