Okay, I'm officially hooked on this series. I'm going to request the entire series from my library because The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 2 confirmed it. This series is phenomenal, especially with Maomao at the helm.
Manga Monday: Dandadan Vol. 3
The chaos! Dandadan Vol. 3 is even more chaotic (and fun) than the previous two volumes. That's saying something. Then again, I'm binging the series pretty hard, so I might be biased.
Manga Monday: Gazing at the Star Next Door Vol. 1
Aww. Gazing at the Star Next Door Vol. 1 is such a cute start to this series! If you love friends-to-lovers romances, you've got to check this one out! I think this will be a slow-burn romance, but only time will tell.
Manga Monday: The White and Blue Between Us
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.
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.
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.
