It's the twist we all knew was coming! But seriously, the building tension about Shinra's brother has been perfectly crafted. It made me excited to read Fire Force Vol. 8, to say the least.
Series Binge: Fire Force Vol. 8
Review: Spy x Family: Family Portrait
The characters of Spy x Family tend to keep themselves busy – and that means lots of chaos and adventures! Given that in a single family, we have a spy, an assassin, a telepath, and a (dog) seer, it makes sense that lots of...adventure will come their way.
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.
Series Binge: Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 8
Oh wow, Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 8 kinda gave me all the feels. A lot is going on here, and most of it will make you want to hug one character or another (or, you know, all of them at once!). It's the perfect addition to the series.
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.
Series Binge: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol. 7
Ah, you can see that the gears are turning, and another major plot will soon kick off. In the meantime, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol. 7 helps to set things in motion further. There are so many characters in the mix now it can take a moment to get them all straight.
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.
New Release Review: Spy x Family Vol. 11
I'm just going to come right out and say it – this series keeps getting better and better. Spy x Family Vol. 11 might be my favorite thus far. Then again, I've been dying for more Spy x Family, so my excitement might be biasing it just a bit.
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.
Series Binge: The Way of the Househusband Vol. 5
The Way of the Househusband continues to be a delightful and often hilarious read, even five volumes in. I can see why it's so popular (and why it has both an anime and a live-action series). It's so easy to relate to the characters, even when their backstories are so wildly different from our own.
