Ever wanting to take Chemistry with your favorite fictional characters. You can with these two books. Chukei Publishing Company has released Impressive Learning Chemistry (Organic Chemistry) with Lucky Star, where the reader is reading the story with the Lucky Star characters taking the class with them. This release follows the company’s earlier release Impressive Learning Chemistry (Theories) with Lucky Star. School would have been so much funnier if I would have had these type of text books.
