Stuff i read this week

Now Loading...!

This is screwed up, but I was Reincarnated as a Girl in Another World! Vol. 7

“Huh? I’ve skipped ahead too much? Nah don’t worry about it. I simply exist to enjoy delicious food every day” Maybe that's why I like this dang isekai so much, I LOVE manga that spends THAT much time slobbering over good-looking food.

I want to be a receptionist in this magical world Vol. 1

it’s a “I can’t believe it’s not an isekai” fantasy manga that somehow manages to fit a whole 6-year magic school education story arc into a single volume. That’s efficient! 6/10

The Princess of Convenient Plot Devices Vol. 2

Okay yeah, this villainess isekai is pretty dang good. It’s doing that thing I love so much where the main character has incredible world knowledge, but they are kind of an idiot so that messes up their read on things even if they are broad strokes correct. I HATE stories that hinge on lack of communication, but missed communication? That’s hot stuff.

The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 8

The opening chapters in this volume are all background stuff, going into who Maomao’s real parents were, which was kinda cool - BUT dang it’s the other stories in this volume that reminds me why I love this series so much. ESPECIALLY the stray cat saga in the last chapter. The fun multi-layered stuff going on, the detailed depictions of the whole process behind making a kitten princess safe (gotta clean it up and trim them claws!) - it’s just neat! 100/10 my favourite manga

My dress-up darling Vol. 9

It’s a pretty light volume, plot-wise not much happened - but it was really cool to see Wakana and Marin learn about photography on a real-deal big girl camera. I’m most excited about Juju showing up right at the end, and presumable being a big part of the next volume. It’s always real funny to see her interactions with Marin, they get on with each other like oil and water and I love that kinda thing.

The Remarried Empress Vol. 3

Dang excellent volume. Real-life royalty sucks ass but manhwa royalty is fascinating as always. I love how the book gives all the “villains” juuuust enough pages so whilst you do kinda hate them for what they are doing to the empress, you also understand them. Nobody’s prefect here, everyone sucks. Books good.

Bonus: Audiobooks

Spice and Wolf Vol. 6

The audiobook has almost caught up to where I stopped reading the print novels, got 2 more to go I think... maybe 3. This is where Col shows up in the story. I remember finding him SUPER annoying when I last read it, but dang I really enjoyed it this time around. I must have been in a weird headspace back then. Im even more hyped for the new anime series now... i just want more spice and wolf so bad.

My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned as an S-Rank Adventurer Vol. 2

I don't really have any thoughts on this. I just want you to know i read it.

Hell Mode Vol. 1

I love Hell Mode. Its SO stupid. Its your average isekai reincarnation with an elaborate VIDEOGAME system... but heck its SO elaborate. I can't wait for them to put out more of this, i read like... 5 volumes of the ebook before i kinda fell off it. Its just such good braindead material. i need that a lot these days!
