Whew. After that cliffhanger ending, I was biting my nails while waiting for Spy x Family Vol. 13! It was a rough wait, but it was pretty worth it. This volume quickly wraps up all that tension before throwing readers into a few slice-of-life style chapters, which is a refreshing break from all the rushing around.
Manga Monday: Kaina of the Great Snow Sea Vol. 1
I wanted to love Kaina of the Great Snow Sea Vol. 1. The title and cover made it look like this story would be my ally. While I agree it has a lot of potential, it failed to suck me in before I finished the first volume.
Review: Solo Leveling Vol. 11
Whew. I did not expect some of what happened in Solo Leveling Vol. 11. I know we’re getting pretty close to wrapping up, so sudden stake shifts and twists shouldn’t be surprising, yet here we are.
Review: Dawn of X Vol. 2
At this point, I think I’m fully caught up in what I had read from the Krakoan era (yeah, I hadn’t gotten far before I got distracted, and I hate that). I’m happy to be making new progress with this story and am eagerly awaiting a few anticipated reveals and twists.
Manga Monday: King in Limbo Omnibus 1
Oh, I really like the premise of King in Limbo Omnibus 1. Sleeping sickness, dream divers, desperate characters, it’s got a bit of everything. This series is absolutely worth reading if you ask me.
Review: Solo Leveling Vol. 10
So, there’s a lot to process thanks to Solo Leveling Vol. 10. It throws Jinwoo (and thus, readers) into the deep end of politics, and unfortunately for him, there doesn’t seem to be a politics stat he can beef up.
Review: Steeple
So, I typically try to avoid overtly religious tales because I don’t like getting certain themes or points shoved in my face. That said, I love John Allison, so I wanted to give Steeple a try. Side note: I read this series when it first released, in single-issue format. But I wanted to re-read it and make sure I didn’t miss any surprises or endings (I didn’t, I just want more).

Manga Monday: Kusunoki’s Flunking Her High School Glow-Up Vol. 1
Hooray, it's time for another manga with a long title! But seriously, Kusunoki's Flunking Her High School Glow-Up Vol. 1 is not what I expected. First, there's the obvious - I thought that Kusunoki would have been the main POV (the title and cover indicate that), but it's actually Keisuke Shizuki.
Review: My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Vol. 10
Every time I dive back into this series, I’m reminded of why I love it. My Next Life as a Villainess is such a silly and lighthearted series. Even while Katarina is dodging Doom Flags, it never feels like the world is actually going to fall apart.
