Kirari Books Meisouchuu!.
My reasons for reading the manga were:
- Summer Stack Challenge 2024
- Manga Time Kirara
- Short manga

As a manga from the Manga Time Kirara magazine, it is a CGDCT manga, it is a Slice Of Life, a simple story that does not go anywhere just to enjoy watching girls doing meaningless activities, but they are cute.
I liked the references, since the story takes place in a bookstore, they mention Kirari's works a lot, an abbreviation for Manga Time Kirari, obviously a reference to Manga Time Kirara, they even discuss which version is better, MAX or Carat. (By the way, I am from MAX, is ... that the one that has Gochūmon wa Usagi desu ka?).
In an extra box I love how they mention that a Manga Time Kirara (they say Kirari but...) doesn't need male characters, and that complicated topics are a no go, LOL, and yes, in Kirara there are men but they are very few...
Something I didn't like was that Ellie's character is supposed to be only 12 years old but in several panels she looks like she's an adult.

Short, relaxing, pretty, and references to the magazine. I give it a 7/10.

I read this manga for the Summer Stack Challenge 2024. Kirari Books Meisouchuu! is a slice of life manga that takes place in a bookstore. It contains a bunch of cute characters doing cute stuff, with a minimum of plot related progress. There are a lot of mentions to Manga Time Kirara, which is a Japanese magazine. If you know nothing about Japanese magazines like me, I feel like it takes away a bit of the fun of reading this manga.

The characters were very cute, which drew me to reading this in the first place, but the jokes or story were not particulary funny ... or capivating for me to keep reading. The reason the manga is short is the reason I was able to finish.
