This is my favorite volume of the series, thus far. If you’ve read it, you probably know why! The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 12 perfectly balances drama, romantic potential, and comedy. So it’s perfection.
Review: Dandadan Vol. 12
Man, Dandadan always finds new ways to up the ante, I’ll give it that! Dandadan Vol. 12 is a heavy-hitting volume that isn’t afraid to push each character to their limit. There’s an alien invasion in the works, everyone is at their limit, and both grandmas are too far away to help. That could spell disaster, right?
Review: Spy x Family Vol. 14
Spy x Family is one of those series I can count on to cheer me up, and Spy x Family Vol. 14 is no exception. I kid you not, this volume had me laughing out loud, especially when it came to taking a closer look at Anya’s grades. Also, can we all agree that Mr. Henderson would (probably) approve of this cover?
Review: Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 13
Every series needs a volume or two that wrap up previous plots, and for Witch Hat Atelier, that’s volume 13. That’s not a bad thing, as a lot has been going on. This volume helps to wrap up some loose ends from the current arc, while driving home the dangers of forbidden magic (duh).
Review: Secrets of the Silent Witch Vol. 2
Have I mentioned how I’ve recently become obsessed with Secrets of the Silent Witch? I first got addicted through the anime, but have since started reading both the manga and the light novels. It’s that good of a series, I promise.
Manga Monday: Play It Cool, Guys Vol. 1
I picked up Play It Cool, Guys Vol. 1 on a whim, because it sounded cute and funny. And it is! This series seems to be exactly what it promised: quirky nerds playing it cool on the surface, while having an absolute freak-out in their heads. Too relatable.

Manga Monday: Junji Ito’s Cat Diary: Yon & Mu
Junji Ito is a horror manga artist, which explains why the eyes in Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu are pure nightmare fuel. Seriously, I couldn’t get over them, and that kept me from getting too invested in the cat-themed hilarity. WHy? I kept waiting for something to go horrifically wrong.
Review: The Apothecary Diaries (Light Novel): Volume 1
I have been a huge fan of The Apothecary Diaries since I picked up the first manga volume, just in time to get caught up before the anime aired. Now I’m stuck waiting for the next volume and season to drop, so I decided to dive headfirst into the Light Novels.
Manga Monday: Dorohedoro Vol. 1
I have been hearing about Dorohedoro for years. Seriously, it comes up on so many recommended lists, especially when I’m searching for something to read between some of my favorite series. So I decided to give it a go.
