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.
Review: Spy x Family Vol. 13
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: 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.
Review: Dandadan Vol. 11
Wow, there’s a lot one could say about this volume! Dandadan Vol. 11 is full of action, character development, and more. It starts right in the middle of a battle, with Momo fighting for her life alongside an unlikely group of allies.
Review: Dandadan Vol. 10
Ah, yes, I missed the chaos of this series. Dandadan Vol. 10 continues a familiar story but throws many new twists in the mix. Starting with Vamola (introduced in the last volume, I believe), plus a new supernatural problem, courtesy of a curse and a mirror.
Review: Orisha Volume 1: With Great Power
The second I saw Orisha Volume 1: With Great Power, I knew I had to read it! The cover is simply striking (seriously, look at it!), and the description sounded compelling. I was not disappointed.
Review: Dandadan Vol. 9
Man, I really love Dandadan. This series has quickly become one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite of all time. I wasn't expecting that, but I'm also not complaining. Dandadan Vol. 9 is another out-of-pocket addition to the series, and I'm here for it.
Review: Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 12
Wow. I think that, against all odds, Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 12 managed to up the ante. This volume is intense, ominous, and fascinating all in one. That said, if you’re not a fan of leeches…uh, maybe ask for a few spoilers.
Review: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 11
Oh wow. Every volume of The Apothecary Diaries somehow makes me fall further in love with the series. An impressive feat, considering I loved it from the start! The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 11 is essentially all about Jinshi and the past.
