I actually prefer action and fantasy based anime/manga, but alas! I am nowhere near ready so I cling to the slice of life genre with dear life. As least with Shirokuma cafe I get to laugh at the hilarity that ensues in the lives of these silly animals. I can easily imagine actual people having to go through what they do (with the exception of working as a zoo animal because well...that's weird lol).
Also I'm sorry about your good friend Evelyn :/ At least you enjoyed the class and the baka that is Mary-san. & yes, I have plans to briefly read Genki 2 for the dialogs and to quickly read the grammar points as part of my self study. You can read more about it if you'd like on my blog.
As for the dialogs in my textbook, it was pretty dry:

ブラウン: はい、それは本です。
田中: いい、本ですね！
ブラウン: はい、かなりいい本です。
田中:これは本ですか、えんぴつですか。
ブラウン:それはえんぴつです。
