Sometimes a customer just wants to read yaoi and yuri.

We've got Worst Soulmate Ever, which is omegaverse fated mates.

She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat. Wholesome lesbian manga. It's actual yuri. CW there's a conversation about food insecurity with some flashback panels.
Top manga is She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat vol 1. Features 2 women: left s tall, bigger, holding a steaming beverage and a late piled high with pancakes. She's tall and wearing grey sweats. Right is a slender woman holding a pan with an omelette. She's shorter and wearing a long A line skirt and white blouse. Bottom manga are Worst Soulmate Ever 1 and 2. 1 has blond Omega looking mad that the black-haired Alpha is there. Blushing expressions of desperation. The right manga is vol 2. Omega has a bouquet of flowers and the Alpha is holding him. They look triumphant. They're married. It's not a spoiler. It's a convention of the genre.

Now it's like.
This guy.
This $90 tortured gay man whose husband croaked after making him immortal then the husband came back but has no memories of Blade. Canonically.
A screen shot of an Amazon listing showing Blade, from Honkai Star Rail. He's a plush with blue to red ombre hair and the most detailed outfit. He comes with a card and a pin of the same dude.

I wonder if Build a Bear critters can wear other doll clothes. I'll have to look up the size of Chococat.
Thank you to all who helped get this little guy. 😭
Kiddo asked for him "with marshmallows on top" and I just.
Ollie was best cat. He deserves some outfits.

Here's another Ollie photo as thanks💖
Closeup of Ollie's face. He had a huge mushroom nose that you could boop all the time. His eyes were always kind. They were yellow. His cheeks were big for kisses and his purr was the loudest. I miss him.

Closet Cosplay Sanji!
Bright lights behind me as I take off my tie. The tie is a zipper tie so it makes a fun ZWIP sound as you yank on it. Dramatic lighting as I peer down at you because you didn't eat today. Eat!! I like my large eyes. Dramatic shadows of dappling leaves as I just stare wide eyed into the camera.

MARS is getting an anniversary edition!
Hardcover!
Foil!

I love this early 2000s manga SO MUCH.

I've already reviewed it and emailed my rep about it.
June 2026!!
Fuyumi Soryo's MARS 30th anniversary edition manga. Bright red cover with Rei superimposed on it. Rei has long blonde hair, a lost white long sleeve button down shirt that's held shut by 1 button, tight black shiny leather pants. He's pale with a face like Björn Andrésen, the man that all bishounen in Japanese manga are modeled after. You can really see it here in the eyes. His eyes are dreamy and lined in thick lashes. His eyes look lavender and his skin is very pale. He has one hand in his pocket and the other resting on his thigh.

I've eaten this every day for like 2 weeks:
Spam
2 soft boiled eggs
Shin Ramyun bowl
Napa cabbage

But I spread out 1 can of spam over 3 days.
The Ramyun was 50c each
Napa cabbage lasts forever.
The chopsticks I use at work are from the ramen museum in Japan!
A photo of my lunch at work. Shin Ramyun bowl topped with a bunch of napa cabbage, 2 soft boiled eggs. In the Ramyun are spam fries! Just spam fried and sliced longways.

Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die
Greer Stothers

Hot twink flees a prophecy where he needs to die to save the kingdom...
Straight to the evil wizard.
In which many dangerous and homosexual things happen.

If it's queer, give it here! ™️

Very purple cover of an Advanced Reader Copy of Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die by Greer Stothers. It has a vulture/buzzard with floating broken hearts in the bottom right corner. An evil-looking silhouette of a dude with one lime green eye and one white eye. The cover is festooned with arrows shot into it.

The end of the month!
When things are hard, it's nice to have a wholesome and funny anime or manga to run to!
Is there an anime or manga that's helped you?

That's my elderly cat, Molly, in the photo using the One Piece manga omnibus as a pillow!

Sometimes you just want to go to another world for a while.
Mokouda does just that -- accidentally.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill has a light novel omnibus!
A story full of good food, good friends, and slowness. Kindness. Adventure! Online shopping!

@jnovelclub.bsky.social
Volume 1 omnibus of Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill light novel. It features Mokouda, our main character who was accidentally summoned to another world; a giant fenrir named Fel (a big wolf with white fur and red paws and legs); and a little blue slime with a little pink heart named Sui. Mokouda is sitting criss cross applesauce while holding Sui. Fel is laying majestically with his front paws crossed and a sweet bun in plastic packaging in his mouth. I tossed the book on the ground in the grass. There was a nice breeze that day and the grass was cool.

This little guy deserves all the pets.
Also he screams when he's by himself (he's never by himself but he thinks he is).

Spoke to Mike at @blackstonepub.bsky.social and he recognized me from the scary face paint on my edelweiss profile 🤣
It is, in fact, Gideon face paint.

Maybe I should wear it to Heartland Fall Forum so people know who I am. 🤣🤣💀

See the pic for what I use on edelweiss!

Went to Five Below to get my spicy chicken wonton ramen because that's the only place to get it.
They had mystery bags of One Piece star-shaped keychains. I really wanted one specific character.
There were 2 bags. So I got them because it was like 15$ for those and 2 ramen.
I GOT ZORO.
I GOT HIM.
Star keychains filled with water and oil maybe. One is black and has a little Thousand Sunny ship with Brook in it. The other is green with Zoro. In the background are Luffy and Ginbei keychains.

Hell's Heart by Alexis Hall!
An Advanced Bound Manuscript from @torbooks.bsky.social
My most anticipated book so far for 2026!
The comps are Gideon, Moby Dick, and Murderbot?!
It grabs your neck, gets in close, and swears in your face.
You WILL listen.

You WILL sit your a$$ down, stfu, and LISTEN.
Advanced Bound Manuscript of Hell's Heart by Alexis Hall. It's a fleshy pink and has no graphic cover. My coworker is holding it.

Sometimes I doodle on sticky notes and slap them into a book when someone orders stuff. 💖
Sometimes the doodle is on the box on an old label from a Macmillan pack slip.
A yellow sticker from an old MPS label with a doodle in blue pen. The words say Thank you! because it was a customer order. The doodle is me doing a peace sign with my index and middle finger up in a V shape. Anime style doodle.

Here's a gift that a lovely friend bought me.
A $12 My Hero Academia bento box from FYE!

2 compartments, a separator, a spoon, and chopsticks. Microwave safe!

It helps me not take multiple containers to work.
The snack is egg skin bread from a local Asian market.
Bottom had chicken and rice!
2 tiered My Hero Academia bento box. It's bright yellow with a red elastic strap to hold it together. It features Midoriya Izuku and All Might on the lid. The top compartment has Froppy, Uravity, Red Riot, Engine, Bakugo, and someone else I can't tell but it's a student. They're running long. Bottom compartment with the removable separator. It has chicken and rice! 2 egg flavor egg skin bread and 1 quinoa egg skin bread in the top compartment of the bento. You can see the students! White chopsticks and a white spoon nestled in their little clips in the lid of the top compartment of the bento. They're plastic.

Making fries that I found in the freezer!
I lined them up.
I like it.

These mix n match One Piece earrings would make amazing charms for necklaces and bracelets!

I don't have any piercings (or money or a Box Lunch nearby) but they're so cute!!
