First, I just want to say that I really loved the cover of The White and Blue Between Us. It's what drew me to it. That said, I'll confess that I was mostly disappointed with this read – it had so much potential!
Manga Monday: My Lovesick Life as a ’90s Otaku Vol. 1
This is such a cute and relatable story! My Lovesick Life as a '90s Otaku Vol. 1 is both humorous and heartbreaking in equal measure. It's perfect for readers looking for a bit of nostalgia, though they might find it more relatable than they like.
Manga Monday: My Ultramarine Sky
Another endearing and slow-burn romance! My Ultramarine Sky is very genuine and sweet, as two teenagers realize their friendship is actually something more. You love to see it happen (especially when it goes well).
Manga Monday: How to Treat a Lady Knight Right Vol. 1
How to Treat a Lady Knight Right Vol. 1 is the first in a new (to me) series about a lady knight and her scarred nature. I mean that in many ways, as she carries more than physical scars. It's a fine balance of humor and romance, with just a touch of fan service on the side.
Series Binge: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol. 9
If you've been wanting to see more of the towns/cities in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, this volume is perfect for you! Not only does Rimuru have to travel around a lot, but it gives us the chance for a few one-on-ones with different characters.
Manga Monday: Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Vol. 1
What a unique concept! Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Vol. 1 is a quirky and sometimes hilarious start to the series. I can't wait to get to know the characters more, as there is so much potential in this romantic comedy.
Series Binge: Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 10
Holy cats. How does this series find new ways to up the ante? Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 10 made me feel a lot. And I do mean A LOT. There's good and bad, but mostly, it's just a whole lot of anxiety as I wait to see what happens to Custas and the crew.
Manga Monday: Sayabito: Swords of Destiny Vol. 1
Sayabito: Swords of Destiny Vol. 1 is the first in a new fantasy series, and I'll confess that it was totally that bright and happy cover that originally caught my attention. Still, it seemed like it was worth the read!
Manga Monday: He’s Expecting Vol. 1
Every now and then, you come across a series that makes you stop. He's Expecting Vol. 1 was the most recent series to do that to me. It's a great concept with a lot of potential to help people reassess their biases.
Series Binge: Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen #1
It makes sense that Qifrey would be quite busy in the kitchen. After all, he has a hoard of young apprentices to keep fed! That task is often easier said than done, given the variety of tastes and palettes he must work with on any given day.
