Ohhhh! Somehow, this series keeps getting better! At this rate, I will run out of manga and resort to light novels (the horror! Just kidding). Anyway, I’m trying to say that The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 9 was a delight to read.
Manga Monday: Tamon’s B-Side Vol. 1
Tamon's B-Side Vol. 1 is pretty much any fangirl's (or boy's) dream come true. We have a dreamy boy band, a die-hard fan, and what is essentially a meet-cute but in a unique way. It's a cute setup, to say the least.
Manga Monday: The Knight Blooms Behind Castle Walls Vol. 1
The Knight Blooms Behind Castle Walls Vol. 1 is a light, cute, and humorous introduction to the world of knights and fantasy. It’s very much a slice-of-life manga, with Rosa’s story told through various little interactions and events.
Manga Monday: Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits Vol. 2
Aww. Poor Aoi. She keeps finding herself in formidable positions, and it seems like it essentially has to do with her compassion. Still, I enjoyed reading Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits Vol. 2. Even when Aoi and her situation gave me anxiety.
Manga Monday: A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow Vol. 1
Oh goodness. A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow Vol. 1 is a gentle and sweet introduction to this story. I can see why fans are utterly enchanted by it; this tale captures your heart right from the start.
Manga Monday: Handyman Saitou in Another World, Vol. 1
Okay, I’ll admit it: I LOVE this concept. Handyman Saitou in Another World, Vol. 1 introduces us to a story where basically an ordinary dude ends up in a magical world. Ironically, it’s his ordinary skills that make him valuable there.
Manga Monday: The Essence of Being a Muse, Vol. 1
I’m always searching for a new manga series to get hooked on (seriously, I need recommendations), so I decided to try The Essence of Being a Muse, Vol. 1. I liked the idea of playing around with muses and the like.
Manga Monday: Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop, Vol. 1
I didn’t realize this until after reading it, but is Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop, Vol. 1 actually based on anime? You don’t normally see the adaptation going that way, so I found that to be a bit funny (side note: I wonder how the anime is?).
Review: The Way of the Househusband Vol. 11
I don't think Tatsu's adventures will ever end! Seriously, he keeps finding new ways to get up in other people's business. On the bright side, I got to read The Way of the Househusband Vol. 11, so I can hardly complain.
Manga Monday: Itaewon Class, Vol. 1
I was recommended Itaewon Class, Vol. 1 because it’s a highly emotional and compelling tale. I can certainly see the emotional side of that argument, but I didn’t really end up being too captivated by it.
