Sgt. Frog 4

I remember being slightly tired of the jokes after reading 3, but it’s such a good series I figured I’d just space the volumes out more to enjoy it. This seemed to work, as I loved it once again here. There was some really funny stuff in this volume. My favorite was probably the plot that revolved around getting Natsumi so mad that she blew everything up, then a photo was sent to Keroro’s dad so it looked like progress had been made. It was a brilliant plan that seemed to work out well, but the fact that a photo was its purpose made it even better.
The tadpole recruit visiting Tamama and getting him in all kinds of trouble was also awesome. I particularly liked Keroro’s role in this story too, where Tamama had to pray that Keroro wasn’t building plastic models.
Many of the stories in here were hilarious. So hilarious that I wanted to follow it up with another volume immediately, but after my experience with 3, I decided this wouldn’t be a good idea. No, Keroro needs to be savored like a fine wine. He should only chase down the most boring or depressing manga, so it makes him look that much better.
