494. The Demon King is Way Too Overprotective!, Vol. 2 - licensed - Demon King Damon has taken some stress out of Seina's life with his magick, but their school trip goes anything but smoothly when her friend Shion sees them kissing. The twist at the end makes me sad there's only one volume left.

Don't hope he dies. Hope a woman tells him he sucks in bed when his friends can hear it so they razz him about it until he dies of old age.

Definitely don't look at the felted animal ornaments, then.

But, I mean, look at these. I had to!

Right? That was my goal for the year after reading 400-ish last year. It's so much, but there's still so much I want to read and haven't found time for.

Yeah, it just came out Tuesday.

I read the ebook from Kodansha, so it might be on KManga, but I haven't looked.

493. Flip Flip Slowly - licensed - A handsome man in a nice suit starts regularly visiting a library out in the country, and something about the way he moves and the books he reads catches the eye of a young librarian, and the two become friends. Nice treatment of being queer in a small town.

All the clips on Twitter look real fucking sexy. I don't do much live action romance, but I really want to watch this one.

That kind of crowd is a lot of fun. Some of our friends are involved in a local women's (American) football league, and you just won't find a better cookout than the ones they have.

Like, my mother and I went to one of the cup final games for the NWHL, which was the league before the PWHL, and the arena was wall to wall lesbians. It was great.

I love hockey, always have, but I've realized recently that I kinda prefer women's hockey. No hitting leads to more interesting ways of getting the puck in deep other than dump it in and fight on the boards, and I don't hold my breath each check wondering if they got injured.

Also, lesbians.

I wonder if they'll recast Sakurai or if it's been long enough since his scandal broke.

They know their audience.

Yeah, that one. Brain old and not too good after 9 pm.

We painted ourselves into a corner as a fandom when we decided to apply magazine demographics to anime. Some librarian probably fought a war over this on usenet 30 years ago.
