Top Ten Tuesday: Isekai
Manga Monday: Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Vol. 2
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Has got to be one of the more unique series I've read (side note: Yes, I've heard of Delicious in Dungeons, it's on my list). I love the strange balance this series has struck between fantasy, food, monsters, and romance.
Series Binge: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 4
By complete accident, Maomao has begun to make a name for herself within the inner palace. Some of her reputation is good (her knowledge of medicine, plants, and poisons), some less so (her love of ingesting poison). It makes for a comical balance as we read along.
Review: Villains Are Destined to Die Vol. 2
What would you do if you were trapped in the last dating sim you played? Depending on the difficulty, you'd probably panic, right? I know I would (and I don't even play dating sims!). Penelope is proving her mettle in Villains Are Destined to Die Vol. 2, as she tackles each challenge thrown her way.
Review: Spy x Family Vol. 12
Eeee! Sorry, but I’ve been waiting months (MONTHS) for Spy x Family Vol. 12, and it’s finally here! I’m so excited, to put it mildly. The cover had me hoping that we’d maybe be getting more backstory about Twilight’s handler, but even if we didn’t, I knew I’d enjoy the story.
Manga Monday: She’s My Knight Vol. 2
She's My Knight Vol. 2 was and wasn't everything I expected from this sequel. Let me break that down into two parts. First, it absolutely continues the cutesy and funny romantic plot introduced in the last volume.
Series Binge: Dandadan Vol. 5
Another chaotic adventure! I'll admit that parts of Dandadan Vol. 5 were a bit more tense than usual (think of Momo's first encounter with the aliens, and you'll have a close enough idea). I didn't love it, but the stakes had to be set, right?
Manga Monday: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 3
Has it really only been three volumes? I feel like I've been reading so much of The Apothecary Diaries! To be clear – I'm not complaining. I'm thrilled that I have so much more to go through as I've come to love the series.
Series Binge: The Way of the Househusband Vol. 8
It's time for more Yakuza, ahem, I mean househusband antics! I really adore The Way of the Househusband, and thus, I was looking forward to the next volume. I know I'm reaching the end of my binge, but I'm trying to make the best of it.
Manga Monday: My Clueless First Friend Vol. 1
I have to admit, My Clueless First Friend Vol. 1 is a pretty cute series. It has the perfect balance of cute, funny, and irreverent. We have a lonely little girl, a clueless dude (who may or may not want the powers of a Grim Reaper), and some unique secondary characters.
