My last post was some time ago when I was not a very happy lass but honestly, a lot has changed since then. I have changed since then.

I still have moments of depression, issues & other not so fun stuff but I can say I am happy with this direction. I am mostly cut off from people who hurt me a little too much, I have a job I absolutely adore, a comfy place for me & Agi, getting into my hobbies again & a beloved that I plan to spend the rest of my life with.

I know this sounds stupid or boastful but compared to how I was even just a year ago, I am a lot more confident & happy.

I am going on a cruise soon, I have a shift tonight after spending time doing my studies on commercial cookery, which is now a career I am considering. Then again, I currently work in retail & I never thought I'd ever see myself doing that, especially enjoying it as much as I currently do. I certainly feel like I have grown as a person & I love it, even with my diagnosis & all, it makes things hard but I'm working on it just as much as anything else in my life.

If anything, my room is still a library, that will never change. I'm truly grateful for my life, friends, partner, Agi & the job that I now have, it makes me feel more complete than I ever had. Have a picture of Agi being the beauty she is ☺️💜

Plants and the elegant Agi 💖

Deep down these are full of beauty and intrigue. While on most days, I feel empty and slowly decaying as I realise more and more how useless I truly am. What do I have going for me?

I truly have nothing worth sharing. Sure, I have an amazing partner, wonderful friends but what else do I have? Honestly, nothing, nothing at all.

I lack a job, I lack health that barely keeps together and I should be more positive but I forgot how. Being around people, doing fun things is the only time I can forget this emptiness that dwells deep inside.

Sorry for the pointless rant.

[mizutina]

Anyone who knows me knows that this is a series I wished was translated into English so I could feel more supportive of the industry, that and how much I have adored this series since I first read it.

Now I gave up with waiting. I decided to hell with it and get the Japanese editions of Nana and Kaoru (Nana to Kaoru), also grabbed Black Label and Last Year as well cause might as well get as much as this series as I possibly could.

There is no regrets here but I now feel a drive to actually better what little Japanese I know into an ability that would allow myself to fully immerse into my favourite series.

I do plan to buy other series that companies either won’t print or license into English cause why should I keep waiting for something when I can support the original publication? Also, there is something about owning the original form of a manga in it’s original language.

It doesn’t help that these are absolutely gorgeous and I am in love with them.

I’m so glad my partner helped get them into my life. I am eternally grateful for it.

Next in the ring is Yen Press series, Akame ga Kill! Go check out how it did in the yay or nay game of seeing if it’s worth adding to my collection, feel free to put your opinion in too~!

[mizutina]

Back to blogging

First in the yay or nay game ~Library Books edition~ we have Arakawa under the Bridge, a gag manga by Hikaru Nakamura, printed as omnibus by Vertical.

Feel free to gander and see it’s fate, does it make it to the list that will one day be bought or left to the dogs who only eat rejected series!?

[mizutina]

As someone who has been collecting manga since their early teens, many discussions never really reached my ears until I joined the community itself in the last few years. By many years, I mean late 2003/early 2004, I may have had a few times where I've stopped due to severe depressive episodes and financial strife due to being a young teen with no funds. So I know what it is like to long for manga but not being able to afford it brand new and having to stoop to scans and secondhands or borrowing off friends who can afford just a bit more.

Through the years, I accepted what the companies gave but after a while, you know what you want from what you buy, so I stopped being silent. What came from it, was something one could align with the sense of regret. A few years back I've even stopped reading scans unless it's to see if it's a series I really want and read no further than 3 chapters to decide. Any that I do want either goes on a list or enter the cart until payday. Sometimes, some even get bought in a heartbeat but again, it took me years to get to this stage where I can do that, have space for my series and even gain the confidence to share what I love but even then, some people don't like that and that's fine, it's their choice.

Don't get me wrong, a side doesn't regret making the amazing friends I now have but it regrets being so involved to the extent that I am classed as a villainess for asking for prints, since it's considered cancelling a company saying that I would rather have a printed copy over bits of data, especially for the insane prices they ask for and the lack of reassurance that it is as eternally as my copies seem to be, since if they take the digital away if the server or company goes bust.

I am the bad one for being apart of a chat group with people who love the things I do and have the hide to comment about things that make us unhappy, especially about companies and their lack of variety, especially for shojo. We also don't favour digital, which is our choice since it's our money we are spending. It is why I now keep comments sweet and simple when "nagging" for titles I'd love to see in print and not shit all over series even if it is pandering to lolicon fans, which is a sin to point out in the animanga community cause "it's a cartoon, it won't hurt anyone" or "age is just a number", which is a very telling sign about what kinds of people they are.

But that's a community, not everyone will get along nor share opinions that is on par to your own. Unless you have this obscene view of yourself being some sort of manga master which allows you to shit on others, insult them and basically shoving their opinion as facts, this is where the first two parts of my title comes in, the final part being the first thing I've talked about heh. Then again, these same people believe they are some sort of knowledge head or insider into these companies when, at best, they are hardcore fans that believe anything someone actually in the company says, even if the figures are cherry picked to all hell. I mean, come on guys, just cause you are given free copies doesn't make you any more special. You just supporting the company a bit less in order to promote in hopes that enough people buy to cover the fact the company sent out possibly 20 copies to other people like you and chip in for you getting one free instead of doing the right thing by BUYING THEIR OWN COPY TO SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY THEY ARE SO IN LOVE WITH, but oh well, they are above that apparently, they can do and say as they wish.

Like one says, do as I say not as I do.

So a few weeks ago, some dumbarses believe that secondhand buying and selling of a legally bought product is piracy. Anyone with half a brain and a search engine can prove otherwise. The other reason they claim is that it doesn't give back to the creators and company. Yes, that is correct but not everyone can buy new, not everyone has access to new series or even stores that stock series. Also, some companies have deemed some series either out of print (OOP) or the company is now defunct.

In that case, secondhand is the only option. Unlike some people, I'll admit to buying secondhand, my reasoning's are simple. I can't get some series due to OOP, cheaper as a bundle and, most importantly to me anyway, I rather they sell it to me than throw it away, it's better for the environment that way.

Sure, who knows what they will do with my cash but that's not my problem. I bought a manga from them that they legally bought. Just like when someone borrows from the library, they bought it and lend it to people, in some cases, depends on how many people borrow it, they give funds towards procuring more manga, which means the industry is still supported.

When some people start buying mangas, they usually start secondhand, find the series for them and then usually buy new ones, so in the end, they end up becoming a new consumer for the industry. For example, when I sell some mangas, I end up buying new ones cause I like to keep up with my pre-orders, I like being up to date and I love buying new series that fascinate me, I no longer buy for the sake of buying.

Then we have the selling aspect, since buying is piracy, so would selling right? apparently if the dumbarses do it themselves, it's fine, you just happen to be the bad guy buying from them as they possibly spend the buyers money on new mangas while pointing fingers and blaming others for the "piracy" that they basically contributed in.

Fun fact: don't go spouting off about buying new manga and saying buying second-hand is piracy when you both buy and sell mangas secondhand, you look foolish and defeats the purpose of the whole argument. Also, buy manga secondhand if the creator did a crime is okay but when you ask how bad the crime must be in order for it to be allowed, reflect by being a douche, totally helps the argument by reminding people how incredibly stupid your opinion really is.

My opinion? if you don't like what the creator did and don't want to support them, buy secondhand or don't bother with the series. Maybe buy the series, who knows, it's up to you. I'd support purely on the fact that other people put in their time and hard work into it and they deserve to have that acknowledgment, the scummy person can go eat a cold one for all I care, I don't think others should suffer for one criminal. Also, if they did pay for the crime, then power to them, as long as they learned from it, that deserves some respect.

Moral of the story; Secondhand is a very grey area, many start there and you should be praising them for buying legal copies, it will help them feel accepted and eventually buy more from their local stores and online. Bullying them for buying secondhand only makes them leave and not support the industry. Also, just don't be a gate-keeping dick. Manga is meant to be fun, being in a community is meant to be fun. Be fun with new collectors, help raise them up.

Now, recently, I saw another dumbarse mention Manga Hoarding or Manga Collecting cause apparently making videos showing hauls may be toxic and a form of hoarding.

Fun fact: hoarding and collecting are the two sides of the same coin. It's all about perspective.

One could say my large collection is hoarding. I would say I'm a collector and I love showing, sharing my collection with people in hopes that they may one day buy the series that I mention and love them as much as I do.

Also, this is also a money issue for some people, having a lot means having a lot of money. 1. Who cares about that, it's not your money they are spending. It's theirs. 2. If we use my hauls as an example, mine are large due to two reasons: I pre-order new series and bundle buy older series secondhand at a bargain price. It's a way to both show interest to companies when pre-ordering and it helps someone get rid of something you want, also to explore things you probably wouldn't think of buying. 3. What's it to anyone when it comes to how much someone has? It's got nothing, unless they are putting their own cash into that person, otherwise sit down and shut the hell up.

IMO, manga hauls are as toxic as someone perceives it to be. Me, like many others, enjoy seeing what others have and makes you think about what they have that you may end up wanting. This is where you ask the person about the series and, tied with piracy topic, you may end up buying the series which helps support the industry. Also, some people collect vast amount of mangas cause they love it, it helps them and should not be shamed for what they love. If you shame others, then you're a dick.

Which, like I said earlier or if I didn't say it clearly, these dumbarses who believe they are elitist, wants people to support the industry that they love so much but sometimes refuse to do themselves. Like mate, you say one thing but shit on people doing their best to support the industry their own way. You can't have the cake and eat it too, stop doing shit like this, keep a solid opinion and don't do shit that points out what a giant hypocrite you are.

But why use logic, that be too hard, right? Well, to me, it seems like people want drama, a reason to ostracise people from their Utopian community. It's quite unfair on people, telling them how to be a collector when it just feels like foolish projections.

Sure, I'm projecting a bit here, feeling their opinions of stupid people when I feel like it's more about how foolish and childish it all seems, how it feels like they just don't think further than "people should be like me and if they ain't, they are the toxic part of the community" which is not a healthy view to have.

Wooow, indeed I have written quite a bit about these topics which are so dear to me, especially as someone who has been supporting silently for years until recently. All the topics I have spoken about is basically something that can't be seen as black or white like the elitist pushes so hard since it's all grey area and to do with perspective.

I shall give it a rest now and read some manga, since that's what someone with a healthy habit does when they are taking a break. Heh.

Hey all~!

It's been a while and I blame it on the fact that I haven't bothered with trying to go on the laptop of wondering what to type, so I'm here today to try and do a post about my initial feelings about a series I recent got.

It's called Crown of Love and by the same creator as Loveless, Yun Kouga and it was licensed and distributed by Viz Media and their shojo branch. 

Wiki synopsis: After a chance encounter, Hisayoshi "Kumi" Tajima falls madly in love with teen idol Rima Fujio. Bewitched by her beauty, he only wants to get closer to her. As a fan, he lives in a separate world. But if he becomes a fellow idol, maybe things will be different. Thus inspired, he strives to achieve his goal.

So far, I've only read the first volume and I'm very meh about it.

The main character is a young man of talent, who gets beaten up by his father when he chose a life as an idol over what his father wants (yes, said father beats his wife too). Falls in love at first site, which, I don't know, I get but find that so boring these days cause he barely knows the lass. I mean, the lass is now better, she longs for someone she really can't have, her mother is legit have some problems and leaches off her daughter and possibly the manager. There is a lot to unpack and this is the first volume.

The art I can't dis since it's an older manga series from 1998, so the quality would seem a bit different compared to other mangas I read, especially ones that have come out in the last five years. For a shojo, it's very blocky and hard lining while there is detail, there is also very little. Despite the fact it got an English release in 2010, which was one interesting time for the manga industry.

Storywise? nothing is grabbing me, I really don't want to continue and I have no motivation from the series itself. Like, I don't care if the guy hooks up with the idol or the school friend or whatever. I mean, there is nothing for me to inspire me to continue but that's just me.

I will confess I got the series second-hand, so I don't feel like I wasted too much on it but I was hoping for more from it. Hopefully it will win me over in the end and so I can write up a new post possibly about it but until then, time to attempt to read it.

So far it's a 2.5 stars from me.

Until next time, read all the things~!

[mizutina]

Pointless post to promote my recent video...

I should start blogging more again but I usually have nothing to say or inspiring to share. My opinions are usually harsh or rub people the wrong way cause my beliefs and views won't ever match up to others.

I thought about reviewing mangas but I feel like I can't say exactly what I want since I am not good with words as I use to or I just don't care. Maybe I should just type and type until I'm bored.

Then again, I am being held hostage by the ever so adorable Agi.

I might complain about a manga I am trying to force myself to finish reading. Maybe I should comment about how I am happy where I am and all the yummy food that my tummy wants to try and eat the shit out of everything lol. Also, I am studying badly at the moment, once I am released from the kitty, I shall study some more ☺️

In memory of Leon’s Resident Evil 2 (1998) voice actor:

Thanks for the childhood memories! Rest in peace.

[mizutina]

My true self UwU

Lately I been sweeped off my feet with studying and honestly, it’s both so good and absolutely tiring.  I mean today, lost my opal card and had a meltdown from dealing with both shit from family and some things that have been stressing me to bits. So, I been looking to getting new mangas, like more Food Wars, new series like Love Me, Love Me Not or Sweat and Soap or Pleasure and Corruption. Trust me, out of the three, I really enjoyed those~

What else can I talk about besides my brain dying and my cat peeing on the bed, fixing that up and of course, losing my opal card but my partner saved my arse with that while I wait for the new one to come in.

I shall post more longer and share more thoughts on my manga later and possibly share my new video idea eventually lol.

I hope to get the rest of Food Wars...

Start of a Light Novel habit?

This is basically going to be a short arse post, mainly cause I can’t read this series while the first two are in the mail, on their way to me and I’m waiting impatiently by the window for my valiant mail person to bestow them upon me.  It’s now the weekend and it probably won’t happen till next week, much to my dismay...

Anyway, this was recommended to me by a friend who said it’s my sort of book where it’s about a girl who dies being crushed by her own books, since she lives in her own version of a library due to being a huge bookworm and is reborn as a daughter to a poor family, where books are a rarity. Possibly heartbroken of being separated from her beloved books, she aims to start making her own.

This is also my first J-Novel Club series I bought and ccannot wait to read it while planning to get the other parts and finally, getting the release of their novel adaptation of My Next Life as a Villianess: All Routes Lead to Doom!, a series I am fond of due to reading the mangas, that will be ending soon sadly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Now that I finished talking about the novel I long to read, I may as well mourn the fact that as much as I do surveys for series I long to own in print. Seven Seas still has released a large pile of shit and called it a day.  Okay, it took 3 days to build up a small hope only to be let down with either shit that is fresh in Japan, shit that no one really wants to read and some bullshit manga about Western Font that only people interested in that sort of thing will develop a boner for.

I know, I’m being harsh and you’d think that out of possibly 12 titles that there be one I’d praise, right?

WRONG

There is no title I’d buy as soon as it flashes pre-order across my screen, not even after it’s been released will they be worthy... It probably end up being a second-hand buy because someone bought the lot and now wants to sell it. Sure, one got into consideration phase but, at best, it would be a filler series where I would like something and it will do for that moment.

Then again, with all the good stuff going to digital hell and only shit painted gold making print, it’s hard to be a physical manga collector when you don’t trust the companies much and unable to rely on digital surviving in the future while also juggling the fact that reading for long periods on screens give me migraines and some services are fucking region locked cause being an International consumer means you ain’t worth nothing to the company cause some are busy singing about how they don’t make money while purposely leaving the international fanbase out cause it would prove their song and dance as false information. Not that some of the fans even realise that cause they only believe the company and want to deep throat their arse for doing their job rather than praising them for doing something they generally wanted the company to do.

I know, I’m rather bitter. Maybe cause I spent years doing surveys, being polite and not causing trouble, thinking that one day, I will get Nana to Kaoru or the ending of Inubaka cause Viz Media was 5 away from that glorious finale that I been longing for but nope, I ain’t ever going to see that while being submissive. So I will create enough noise to get the attention but hopefully not enough to trigger off the crusaders who keep chanting the same thing as if to convince themselves more than me. I get it, Shojo doesn’t sell, not like everyone is asking for it thus proving people want it but with companies being cowards and not wanting to lose their precious money (not like they aren’t currently with the dumpster fire filled with their recent shit titles with fans opting out) cause their digital is selling so well due to the lies of “if the digital does well, we will print it”. I mean, I could spend days mentioning how I don’t like the industry but still loyally supporting it cause I think some series and creators deserve my money more.

Anyway, I should be getting back to making videos, that should hopefully happen soon. Until, read all the things, yay!

[mizutina]

Downfall

I am a few days late for I have been dealing with a lot of things or been drowning an anxiety with doing things I use to do in my old place, which basically involves doing dishes and dealing with washing. Something I was once forced to do but now is oddly something I have to, no, I must do. Otherwise I get so antsy if I don’t, I feel like I’m not doing anything, feel like trouble will be around the corner, that feeling that I can’t breathe if I don’t do them... It’s too much even though I don’t have to do the dishes or the clothes but lately, I feel that I must. 

Otherwise, in my life I went to the city, got some mangas, novels and a figurine from Kino, I should make a post image just for them, to be honest because adding them here would be an injustice. Also went and had dinner with my partner and his mother, it was a lovely meal and I joined the local club since being local requires me to do so now. 

Anyway, then I don’t recall Tuesday. 

Wednesday was a contributor to my stress for my mother was being unreasonable since I didn’t resolve to be quick to answer her, resulted in her throwing a tantrum and basically being done with me, which is code for basically being disowned in my family. So, since I had other plans, I went to drop off boxes, dealt with the woman-child and resolve to see her the next Wednesday for her Birthday, which I have not found a suitable gift for her. Then I saw a friend that I haven’t seen in ages and had a long convo over sushi with and ended the day with picking up an order, obtaining a shelf and did a spot of shopping to end a stressful morning but a relaxing afternoon.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

But I am not here to talk about my life, I am here to talk about Downfall by Inio Asano which was published by Viz Media.

We follow a mans journey as he navigates the dark waters of being a manga creator who had a taste of glory and started to feel it slip away from him. At first he seems to scorn women and those who don’t seem to support him and his dream, then question on where to go after he finished his series. So he starts to consort with other women for love while his marriage seems to be crumbling to nothing with his career slowly following. It was here another character leads him to find himself more and learned more about her but their relationship doesn’t seem to last as they go their separate ways. He reflects upon his path as he finds a spark within his works, during a signing a fan he chat to on social media meets him and it was thanks to her he found a human side to himself and his works, possibly.

Sure, I basically spoiled the story in a vague as fuck way since this story has so much depths and darkness to it, I feel like Asano is talking about a truth that may be lurking within them, showing us readers a side of the industry that we try to overlook since we want to only see the works more than the creator. It was truly a fascinating read though it was not my favourite of the year but it left me feeling heavy and tired, since there was so much inside the work. I would recommend others to read this since I don’t have enough yet too many words to describe this work. Then again, this is often reflected in Amano’s works like Solanin, Nijigahara Holograph and A Girl on the Shore, which a stories that make people think of a darkness, changes in life and usually of serious nature that a lot of mangas these days don’t have since they are so not often licensed by companies, which I can say a lot on but don’t wish to waste this post on.

Downfall art is similar to all Asano’s works and is easy to spot from a distance. It’s still appealing and I have moments where I mixed up characters, mainly due to possibly me reading a part before bed. The detail is gorgeous with a sense of depth and somewhat realism. I really love the simple cover and how it looks upon my shelf. I’m glad I accidentally dropped it and felt guilty that if it was damaged that someone else ends up getting it. It was quite the read for me and I hope others, especially fans of his works, gets this manga. It’s a single volume and is really worth the buy.

Complete: Kamisama Kiss~

This is round 2 of doing this post since Tumblr decided it wanted to update and prevent posting and my dumbarse forgot to save it.  Anyway, what personal endeavours shall I speak of? The fake plant breaking before I get home since it slipped and fell during a heavy rain? Missing Keys that I was blamed for and it was actually the blamers fault since they picked them up with their stuff? The fact that my dreams constantly haunt me cause I just love those /s? 

Today is a new day, so I may just mention how Viz media has three potential new licenses coming out in “Fall” which is American speak of end 3rd quarter, early 4th quarter or Spring for an Australian like me. Like, seriously it’s not hard to mention quarters or even say end-year. See, now everyone understands! The main two titles would be a Junji Ito title of Remina and the other is Moriarty the Patriot. I am quite excited indeed. Soon, I shall be filled with bitter disappointment and annoyance as we wait for Seven Seas to drag out their license releases but hey, at least their will be on Yuri, which I have as much interest in it as I would for sports or make-up, which is a good fuck all.

Until then, let’s talk about Kamisama Kiss!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I started this series about 3 years ago when I picked up the LE for about $17aud and then finally got my arse around collecting the other 24 in the last year. I finished buying the rest about a month ago and finally finished reading it a few days ago when I settled into my new home.

How do I feel about it? I cried at the ending cause a journey with friends I made have now ended, felt sad at how it went over the end end but it still gave enough closure to accept it’s ending, just enough. I  really did enjoy the end more than most of the story cause it somewhat neatly ended the story and left me rather satisfied.

What you get when you read this series in general is Nanami being a child to a debt riddled father who ditches her to save his skin. Left homeless and basically penniless, Nanami decides to rest at a park where a Kamisama bestows their power unto her and basically runs off. Nanami ends up at Mikage shrine where she meets her future, a world of adventures with a fox shinshi named Tomoe and basically meets so many creatures and Yokai, gains new friends and ally, even falling in love.

The art is simple, elegant yet beautiful and full of life. It was generally light and fluffy and doesn’t distract you from the story. Same with the characters, a few shit me like no tomorrow but I generally enjoyed the character Mizuki, besides being a snake Shinshi to Nanami, he was such a relaxing character to me. He was generally hyperactive and fun but had a cold, serious side when it is needed. I could also relate to him in a way but in the end, it’s him that stuck out most as a character.  Another character I enjoyed seeing through the series is Himemiko, she was a swamp Kami who falls in love with a human boy but I do wish they told me how exactly they ended besides seeing the hint of them staying together. Her personality is so cute and she is a really determined character too. I shall end the characters by talking about how much I enjoyed Kurama the Tengu, since he was an early rival in the story who becomes an ally during the series. I enjoy what he brought to the story with his charismatic super star status and looks, he was also harbouring an interesting story that comes into play in the middle of the story, I really enjoyed that part, to be honest. I also wondered how his tale ended of the series outside of Nanami and Tomoe.

It’s a great shojo series and possibly a good starting point for new readers of manga who enjoys a cute series with a supernatural theme. I am now going to read some Everyone’s Getting Married while listening to more Monsta X, like the first time writing this up, since I been delaying that for a little while due to either events or stress, but I still rather enjoyed Kamisama Kiss.

I do wish they release a series similar to it called Inari Konkon Koi Iroha, it has Gods/Goddesses, supernatural themes, a bubbly main character and Yokai, with a complete series at 10 volumes in Japan, which is ideal for a company to license while it has half a dozen ongoing series with a few finishing this year. Though I can’t complain too much when they have Kakuriyo, similar in nature, but the slow release kills me, since it only has 5 volumes in English and recently 6 in Japan.

Until next time, read all the things!

School-Live! vol10 has arrived~

FInally, this has come in to read, between me and reading a shit tonne from Shojo Beat, a company that I both love and hate. Heck, apparently me not being kiss arse and praise filled about titles or how things are done makes me not a real fan despite being a long time collector. I been collecting manga since late 2003, but hey, you praise people who attack your fans for wanting the best out of you but whatever. Sorry for being bitter but I hate being called a troll despite showing nothing but love for what they have done, just not keen on slow release series since it just came out in Japan or ones on Hiatus in Japan, there are so many complete options in Japan that deserves an English print, but that’s just my opinion that is not liked nor wanted by said company.

Anyway, forget them. School-Live! is a Yen Press distributed manga which has 12 volumes complete in Japan and 11 currently in English, where I am hankering to pre-order the final volume to complete my set and read. Heck, I am still waiting on volume 11, which is now in the mail.

The story is about a group of school girls living out the apocalypse, as part of the School Living Club, trapped in their school, where they try and remain cheerful, strong while living out their school life. Things seem bright at first but slowly one discovers the truth and they can no longer remain in the school, especially when they start learning the truth. 

I find it really gripping and is somewhat making other mangas I am reading feel dull and unsuspenseful, which I praise cause it’s been a while since I read something so gripping and enticing. I may not be looking forward to the manga ending in 3 volumes but at the same time, I cannot wait.

The art is also super cute and I do enjoy the few colour pages that the manga has and I am really fond of the characters, wanting to know what happens, rooting for them to make it to the end and hoping that nothing happens to them, I just can’t wait to read more.

I’m still stocked to get so many in one go and for such a great price. I kind of regret not getting them more quickly but I don’t regret waiting till now. I really recommend this series and hope that Yen Press brings out another cute zombie based series or just a good zombie series.

Until next post, I am going to read more manga! 

[mizutina]

Feeling cute~!

I might do a daily post or some shit cause I am a boring hooman bean...

So, as  very few know, I has moved away from home and into a more supportive place where I can rest, heal and become a better me.

I plan to do random images where I just talk about it or me, who knows, I’m just going to ramble and let it all out, in a way.  I wouldn’t mind keeping a blog but I am generally boring.

Anyway, this is as girly as my shopping gets.  I got some monkey dealio where it has a hair monkey towel and some sweet banana smelling shampoo/conditioner. Also replenishing my moisturiser cause my face is a bitch like that.

Originally, me and my partner went in to get a manga but it wasn’t in but Hidden Bodies was in and for a discount, so nabbed that. The only reason the next two was obtained cause the shop lady mentioned how it was similar to YOU in nature and if I got one book, I got the other free with it and I do love me a good book deal. So I am really looking forward to finishing YOU and starting on the other two.

So that’s it for today and me trying to revive this blog since I now have a desk and possibly a dream. Should have made a manga post but may do that later. I’m just glad to have moved out, it’s a start and I want to get better.

Yay, finally got a video up and it's basically stuff that came in the mail from 2 days, since the others lacked mail in general xD

Yay for new manga that I nabbed from Bookdepository which you can raid via this link cause I legit worship the free shipping and the decent prices for books cause for some reason, they are just so expensive from shops outside the few sales they have...

I mean, manga is pricey enough and sales for those is a rarity but that's what BD is for though. Oh and Kino if it has a once off sale where I can get 20% instead of the usual 10% due to being a member and all.

Now it's time for me to human and get ready to go do the equivalent of work in hopes to land the paid position, even if it means learning to run a shop on my own >_<
