Fall is in the air, and with it, a new shoujosei release calendar to share! 🥳

Surprisingly, the number of releases in October is much smaller than usual, but hopefully you'll still see some of your faves and new series that seem interesting to you! 🤗

Excuse me while I go cry 😭😭😭😭 This ending was absolutely wonderful in every way!! Thank you @yenpress.com for the opportunity to review this! 😭😭😭

I’m going to miss reading the manhwa and definitely will have to do a full reread at some point!!

Laura A. Grace @lauraagrace.bsky.social · 1d

I never imagined another villainess could stir my heart the same way that Penelope from Villains Are Destined to Die does, but here we are!

This #manga really surprised me in how much I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Behind every villainess heroine is a male lead I can't help but root for! 🤩

Thank you to everyone who voted for today's #newvideo prompt a while back! I hope you enjoy hearing my rambles on these swoony and teasing male leads! 🤭

Same!! This is the first time I've been this year and have never been more thankful I went!!

Laura A. Grace @lauraagrace.bsky.social · 4d

Also! Interesting manga I saw at the bookstore that I had never heard of before!

Almost got the junkie one because I love the creator's work and didnt know we had another of her series in English, but refrained 😆

Laura A. Grace @lauraagrace.bsky.social · 4d

No new post this morning because I randomly decided to actually sell the manga I meant to months ago and oh my goodness!! I now only need ONE MORE volume of Dengeki Daisy and then I’ll have the whole set! 😱😭

Im so thankful I came to the bookstore today!! 🥺😭😭😭

I am completely off guard that this first volume made me want to cry!

I was a little worried it would be a revenge story, but I think there is so much more emotion then I was expecting! Told myself to “watch it” bc I didnt want to be stuffy from crying on top of a sore throat! 😆

Laura A. Grace @lauraagrace.bsky.social · 5d

I am SO excited I got a #shoujo manga license win this weekend at #NYCC!! (My Super-Cute Black Mage!!!🥳)

So thankful @yenpress.com is feeding us shoujo, and that @kodansha.us continues to feed us shoujo as well!

Let's talk about it in my #newvideo! 😍

Was reminded on Twitter this morning of this video because how cool to look back and see this thumbnail from a few months ago knowing we have this license officially in English!! SO COOL!

Laura A. Grace @lauraagrace.bsky.social · 6d

I feel that this week, my brain has been so focused on NYCC that I've been struggling to lock in my video schedule for this week! 😆

However, we are continuing strong with the villainess event with even MORE villainess manga, but this time with some focus on the love interests!

Laura A. Grace @lauraagrace.bsky.social · 7d

Oooo! This has me really curious hearing you share this!

Laura A. Grace @lauraagrace.bsky.social · 7d

She's so brave!!!!

Laura A. Grace @lauraagrace.bsky.social · 7d

They did such a great job this time around!!! Excited we got Black Mage in English!!

Laura A. Grace @lauraagrace.bsky.social · 7d

This is exactly how I felt too!!! I'm SO glad we got two!!!

I took quite a few #anime screenshots from yesterday's episode of May I Ask for One Final Thing, but I think this is my favorite (non-spoiler) screenshot I took! 🤣

I love Scarlet so much!!! The episode was SO good! LOVED that moment between Scarlet and Julius! 🥰
