It's time to dive back into the world of Cells at Work! Cells at Work! Lady Vol. 1 is a different perspective, but it has the same overall concept as the rest of the series. In other words, it's pretty perfect for fans of the series.
Manga Monday: After the Rain Vol. 1
Okay, so I probably should have read the description a bit more before diving into After the Rain Vol. 1. Admittedly, I didn't love the plot right off the bat. Still, I did try to give it a fair chance, especially as they made it clear that the romance would always be doomed because of the age difference.
Manga Monday: She’s My Knight Vol. 1
I adore stories that can play with tropes and have fun. So naturally, I fell in love with She's My Knight Vol. 1. This novel takes many classic shojo elements (heroines/knights/etc) and turns them into a blast and a half.
Manga Monday: Nina the Starry Bride Vol. 1
I think we've all read a series (or ten) about commoners secretly becoming royalty, but I still couldn't resist giving Nina the Starry Bride Vol. 1 a try. While this series does lean on many tropes, it has a certain level of charm that makes it feel unique.
Manga Monday: Gachiakuta Vol. 1
Oh! What an interesting start to a new series! Gachiakuta Vol. 1 kicks off a new series by Kei Urana, who happened to apprentice under Atsushi Okubo. Obviously, I had to give his work a try! Thus far, I'm not disappointed.
Manga Monday: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 1
Where has this series been all my life?! Okay, I know I'm being a little dramatic there, especially as I'm a few years behind on checking this series out. But it's perfection! The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 1 is a fantastic start to a series.
Manga Monday: Dandadan Vol. 2
I have to admit that I'm enjoying this series way more than I expected! Dandadan Vol. 2 is just as funny as the first volume, but with a few new twists and complications to throw into the mix (like they didn't have enough to deal with!).
Manga Monday: Bocchi the Rock! Vol. 1
Oh dear. Poor Hitori is soo shy. I just want to hug and protect her (but that would probably make her freak out, so I wouldn't actually do that). Bocchi the Rock! Vol. 1 is a gentle start to the series, introducing us to our primary character, her new friends, and the situation she's made for herself.
Manga Monday: Dandadan Vol. 1
Dandadan Vol. 1 is a chaos-fueled blast, and I am here for it. This volume is a lot, and I mean that, mostly in a good way! We have a quick rundown of the characters and their backstories, and then we're off to the races!
Manga Monday: Wolf Girl and the Black Prince Vol. 1
Okay, so there's a lot to unpackage in Wolf Girl and the Black Prince Vol. 1. I can see why people have either a love or hate relationship with the series (and I'm only one volume in!). The good: there are a lot of fun romantic tropes in here (enemies-to-lovers, fake boyfriend, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, etc.).
