I'm planning to catch up with the manga next month. It's my birthday on the first, and the next novel is due a week or two later so it'd be a perfect time to catch up (as it stand I've only got the first 2 manga volumes, which my younger brothers bought me); the manga is the one aspect of this series I can easily obtain that I've kinda neglected.
Plus a K-ON spoof in Vol5? Brilliant
Holo+Lawrence+Guitar elements = Beck on Steroids/Pure Awesome
