When you can't find the sequel in the library and you're too poor for the bookstore~

There was a glitch in the library catalog system and I read book one and then book two, a dramatic spinoff by me

I relate to the third one on intense levels.

"I've been religiously reading this super long series for years and now the new book is out but I'm too old to buy it." - a manga by me

"This series is confusingly organized so I've ended up reading the prequels and the spin-offs all in one go"

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels exactly the same
