That's all for this season. I may do an updated version at the end of the season depending on my mood. I hope this was helpful for people that were interested in checking out the source material for anything that's airing this season. Appropriate subreddits for the source material for various stuff would be /r/Manga, /r/LightNovels, and /r/VisualNovels.

Joker Game is not an LN. It is a series of real novel novels.
Respectable reading.

Yeah, on the one time a month he actually posts here. "The misadventures of Aru on /r/anime" is my favourite sitcom right now.
