Just watched the first 2 episodes of Tune In To The Midnight Heart. I liked 'em. I think it's a good adaptation of a great manga. Uzuki is cuter in the books, tho. You know i'm right.
Also, Suisei! 'nuff said.

Yesterday's/Today's reads:
To Love Ru? Hooked. Vol. 3-4 so friggin expensive tho -.- & why does Seven Seas hate reprinting books? They hate me? They hate my money?
Dededede continues to prove itself. Fantastic series. Will get the last 2 soon.
Tea Witch was far better than I anticipated.

Thanks so much! And if you weren't interested in her before, I'm sure you're even less interested now lmao

I go to the manga store after work every Thursday; one of my rituals. I will share my nabs starting this week.
This week's haul!
Haven't read SandLand in like 20 years. I'm excited to revisit it.
Dededede volumes are nearing completion. I'm really enjoying this series. It's one of Asano's best.

Today's read (2): Witch Love Potion by Kamada.
Manga version of Eiko Mutsuhana's LN series of the same name. This was good! I love me a pathetic MC. I ordered the 2nd volume today.

Today's read (1): Sweet Poolside by Shuzo Oshimi
I've read "Inside Mari" (pretty great) and I own the first few vols of "Welcome Back, Alice" (yet to read) but this one was..odd? As expected from Oshimi, it's sensual and erotic; dealing heavily with gender play. And body hair. It's worth reading.

Today's read: Flying Witch #1
Cute and fluffy. Big on the slice of life, little on the witch aspect. I will read more of this series if I find the next book on sale (as I did with this volume; $3 USD!). I like the cat.

I ended up getting my 2 orange squiggle maybes lmao but they are much nicer in person than I anticipated! Especially for the price - these are pretty legit. I'll post photos of them in a bit.

Today's read: Fate kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA
Look, I don't know a whole lot about Fate (watched S/N & Zero many, many years ago) but jaysus, this was fantastic. A hilarious & satirical love letter to the magical girl genre. Editor's extra pages and notes are great, too. I highly recommend it! 🪄

As I'm taking down all of the Christmas decorations today, I realize I've shared no photos of 2025's Christmas Hatsune Miku display.
So here: 2025's Christmas Hatsune Miku display.
Hopefully I can add another 1 or 2 by next winter.

Today's read: I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
I knew nothing about this other than "it's sad." That was an apt warning. I had to stop reading during the 2nd to last chapter and wait to get home to finish this book, lest I start crying at work.
Quite good!! 1st manga of the year.

This is my favorite Pekoart. I love everything about this.

Yeah that's understandable. I'm fine with small risks but nothing too egregious. If I don't like em, I'll give em to the niece and nephew in a few years once they're bigger.

I wonder if Cover corp. would ever give the Hololive girls aged models.
Let's say, for example: Pekora keeps going and hits her 15, 20, 25 year anniversaries... will they allow her to age? Can she become a pekomama herself? Mature models would be interesting and there must be a market for this.

I'm hoping for the same one you have here, but I really like most of them (see photo, should speak for itself). Not getting my hopes up for the bottom 2. We shall see.
That stage sounds exciting, tho! I've considered many a times making something similar for my Love Live figma. I believe in you.

Picked up a Steam Deck last month. PS3 emulation is a go! The Idolm@ster: One For All, (in English!), plays very well. What a great lil device. The device name is "Pekostation." :3
