Was pleasantly surprised by “Palace of the Omega”. The story was set up with a broader scope and mostly centering politics, which I liked. I think even if you don’t like omegaverse much, you could read this because it doesn’t box its characters into the usual stereotypes.

Made a new one for reasons of cause I wanted to. It’s 18 now. I read several and then new ones came in and yeah…

Watched “The Beast in me”, and the first few episodes are really good, with a lot of tension but then as the story goes on, all the chips fall exactly how you would expect, which was a bit disappointing. Like they weren’t even trying to make me second guess anything. Some really good acting though.

I don‘t think I have read a volume of “A Star Brighter Than The Sun” so far that was just okay. They all manage to be perfect somehow and I really enjoy them. I love all the scenes where Iwa takes her younger self by the hand, giving herself a pep talk. The friendship progression is also so nice.

I only read “This Monster Wants to Eat Me” off this list so far, and now this weeks preorders are in and I‘m at a tbr count of 20 volumes… not complaining, but feeling a bit behind schedule…

Finished vol 3 of Saye! They are boyfriends now. I’m thinking there might be trouble brewing in future volumes though, because of how resigned Go Fei is to his life not amounting to anything and him just being a way stop for Jiang Cheng. For now, they are adorably happy together, though.

Finished my “D.N. Angel” re-read (putting my favorite new cover instead of the last). Had fun this time around, too. I was surprised how much I still remembered, even though it’s been so long. The story is messy at the beginning, but it really evens out after a while.

There was a lot of relationship development in vol. 2. but also slice of life moments and big family drama. It’s kind of hard to summarize, but it has a little of everything, which is great! Since the story is basically continuous, I‘m going to start reading vol. 3 later!

Actually read all day yesterday and finished this. I like the slow pacing a lot. Slow burn just makes more sense to me. You not only get a better look at the individual personalities and their circumstances but you can also see them getting to know each other and their budding interest.
Started Saye last night and so far, I like it. The setting is cool and I love that Jiang Cheng is so pissy. We should have more characters with spikes and prickles all over as MCs.

I kind of loved “Monstrilio” and took a lot of notes, mostly about the story rather than the book. It’s about grief, of course, but I found a big part of what I liked was that it showed the difficulty (or impossibility) of not being yourself. I liked M’s POV the most, it was exactly what I expected.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like re-reading older manga, especially the ones I was obsessed with when I was younger. I have a whole list of them, but I’m starting with “D.N.Angel” because it’s one of the shorter series I think. I mean 20 volumes, but still shorter than like 37 (“Hana Yori Dango”).

Re-read “Last Quarter” and for some reason it really hit today and I’ve been cutting onions toward the end there. Ai Yazawa is one of the greats for a reason. Art is amazing, characters are messy, story is great.

“Champignon Witch” was super adorable! It absolutely delivers on cozy. Who hasn’t dreamt of living in a mushroom house in the forest, surrounded by little woodland creatures? And I loved the little details about Luna and how her surroundings (house, clothes, etc) change with to her moods!

Because of the cover, I kind of thought (hoped?) this series would be a bit unhinged, but it wasn’t at all. I mean, it’s okay overall, but one of the main characters, Kikumaru, was pretty boring, this sweet, innocent stereotype, and I guess the story wasn’t anything exciting, either :\

This was a total cover buy. I mean, look at it, it looks so cool. It’s not one single story but more a collection. I liked the vibe of it, had a kind of nostalgic feeling to it. In the first story, the characters bond over music and radio and of course I loved that.

Read the first two volumes of “Kamisama Kiss” and I was kind of struggling at the beginning, but as I kept reading, it became more and more fun. I think I want to keep reading for a while longer, see how I get on. But now that I’m out of the intro phase, I might end up really enjoying it.

This series is honestly just so good. Both characters have individual struggles and they actually grow as people. And there is also no overblown drama, instead, they are both very honest about their feelings and what they want. I really, really like it.

I really do like “Pet Shop of Horrors”. Even though, the structure of the episodes is basically the same each time, the stories themselves are never boring/repetitive. I just don’t get tired of it. Also, I like the addition of Chris. He adds a bit of fresh air and opens new segues into the stories.

Just finished “Wayward” and found the ending not really satisfying. Don’t know if they were angling for a second season, but I would have hoped for a bit more of a conclusion at the end. Loved Toni Collette though.

The release date for the “Lord of Mysteries” novels I preordered got pushed back a month, which sucks, because I really want to read them, but at least now have time to read the four books left on my TBR. Probably going to start “Monstrilio” tonight, which is the last of my Halloween/horror books.

Watched “The Crystal Cuckoo” today and while it was nothing new exactly, it was definitely a good show to binge for a few hours. Had an unnecessary and underdeveloped love story but apart from that everything else was good to watch and I wasn’t bored at all during the six episodes.
