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.
Manga Monday: Itaewon Class, Vol. 1
I was recommended Itaewon Class, Vol. 1 because it’s a highly emotional and compelling tale. I can certainly see the emotional side of that argument, but I didn’t really end up being too captivated by it.
Series Binge: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 6
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: Wotakoi Vol. 1
An awkward romantic comedy? Sign me up! But seriously, Wotakoi Vol. 1 sounded like such a fun (and funny) series to check out. I dove in without reading too much about it because I wanted to be surprised.
Series Binge: My Hero Academia Vol. 30
The Heroes vs. Villains arc really hits all sorts of emotional highs and lows, doesn't it? My Hero Academia Vol. 30 brings us back into the fray, and the fight somehow keeps getting more intense. Better yet – more and more heroes (and villains) show up at every turn. I'm loving it (even though it is a re-read).
Manga Monday: Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits, Vol. 1
The quest for a new manga series is neverending, I swear. This time, I’m checking out Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits, Vol. 1. It was suggested to me as a bit of a cozy fantasy manga with paranormal elements. It did not disappoint.
Series Binge: The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 5
I'll be honest with you – I love this series! However, I was uncertain what the major changes in Maomao's life would mean. Thankfully, The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 5 calmed me of any lingering concerns I may have had.
