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.
Series Binge: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 8
So, full confession: I had caught up in the anime by the time I sat down to read The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 8. As such, most of this volume was familiar to me. That said, it is 100% worth taking the time to read and watch.
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.
Series Binge: My Hero Academia Vol. 32
Every time I read this arc, my heart breaks for Midoriya. My Hero Academia Vol. 32 is one of those volumes that hits hard – though maybe not for the reasons you might expect. We see heroes at a desperate point, and it sometimes physically hurts to witness them.
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.
Series Binge: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 7
Wow. It’s just one emotional hit after another with this series! The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 7 is another homerun, as far as I’m concerned. It follows up the previous arc with everything I could have hoped for and arguably more.
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.
Series Binge: My Hero Academia Vol. 31
Whew. This arc hits HARD. That is especially true for the wrap-up volume, My Hero Academia Vol. 31. Horikoshi isn't pulling punches. To be fair, we're talking about an all-out battle between heroes and villains, so I wouldn't expect anything less.
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.
