31 Days of Productivity Reading もう一回！: Day 7

Before: I do have some books that I’m hoping get chosen with this new spinner wheel site, but leaving it up to fate is my favorite pastime.

Starting off strong with the new wheel! Today’s read is going to be the most recent volume of 光が死んだ夏！This isn’t a series that I’m just starting, unlike the majority of options, but one that I’m keeping up with as it releases and had to include because I just couldn’t wait to read it. I initially expected this series to go in a completely different direction than what’s currently happening, but I’ve been really enjoying how it’s turning out, especially in the last volume (volume four).

Also, I plan on making some wagashi today so hopefully I’ll share some pics.

After: I made anmitsu today! I love it, but it's so much work to put each bowl together that I don't make it very often. The bananas are freshly homegrown from my neighbor's sister's tree! We're not here to talk about dessert though, we're here to talk about manga.

I did indeed finish my volume of 光が死んだ夏 today! I've been following this series since it was just one wee little volume and it quickly became one of my favorites. However, now that the series is getting a little longer, I think I'm noticing some pacing issues. I loved volumes one and two, but three fell a little flat for me. Volume four was fantastic, but this volume slowed down again, with the exception of one or two really great chapters. One thing that really intrigued me about that though was the あとがき where Mokmok Sensei mentioned that volumes one through three were part of one arc and volumes four and five were another arc, so the next volume will start a new arc for the series. Maybe I just don't like the way they end things? Depending on how long the series goes on for, I'm sure that Mokmok Sensei will improve over the course of the series so I'm still holding out that the series end as a whole still has as much of a chance as any other series to land on both feet. I think when the series is nearing its conclusion I might go back and reread the whole thing to see what I think of the pacing when its read altogether. This volume also circled back to something that was mentioned and dropped in volume one or two, which I was really pleased to see, but it was only in the extra chapter which just kind of miffed me. It certainly seemed like something that I would want in the main story, but I understand the constraints of serializing a manga, especially one as lore heavy as this one.

Anyways, I ended up reading 191 pages of manga today to finish my sixth read of the month! I'm honestly really liking this "method" (as if its on purpose lmao) of front loading my manga reads to the beginning of the month. Now I feel like I have the whole rest of the month to focus on reading novels without worrying about getting that manga count up, like what happened last time I did this challenge. Don't let me regret saying that.

#i feel like i dont usually talk much about the actual contents of what im reading here but i had a lot to say about this volume #and this is the perfect space to just get it all out #oh on that #would you all want little synopses of what im reading? right now im just throwing the names out there #maybe i should make a poll #langblr #studyblr #30 days of productivity #booklr #benkyou posting #coming back to edit my tags right before this posts to say #I just watched a video on gothic literature and it made me realize that hikanatsu is extremely gothic #no wonder I love it so much

He was feeling left out

and the higher rez stills, since gifs always export as if you're sending messages through a metal can~

#you may be wondering why I put so much effort into this #I'm curious too funny how these things happen sometimes #anyways I think omega has jets on his back that would let him fly but consider: he wants to Look Cool #shadow the hedgehog #rouge the bat #omega e123 #sxsg #sonic x shadow generations #team dark #sxsg spoilers #sonic #idk how long I need to tag spoilers but I'll be nice #comic #having the camera shifted towards shadow for the middle bit was a Mistake #he is soooo much harder to draw than rouge asl;dkfj #like one degree off on the eyes and it becomes unviable I swear #except for profiles ironically that first panel was easy as hell #looking back on this I love how I Completely changed how I drew rouge's wings after the first panel #I think the difference was I just swapped refs and her character model was different lol #meanwhile I'm just blatantly cheating shadow's wings for the middle panel purely to fit them in at all #I truly love how oversized they are except for when I'm trying to make a readable composition #yet another reason he should've been back to the camera rather than facing it in the middle but so it goes #my art #doodles

17 year old, CEO Tim Drake canceling a press conference and then putting out a statement like, “Sorry for canceling last min, Alfred said that he was going to run my laptop through the dishwasher if I didn’t clean my room. I think he’d do it :/. Also, wasn’t really in the mood. Cya -Tim.”

#I love teen ceo Tim drake so much and he’s not even canon #there are a lot of angsty fics and I love them but I think there’s such a potential for comedy #WE employees gain thousands of followers just live-tweeting the insane shit he does every day #‘CEO probs not putting out statement about new tech bc I just watched his brother pull him kicking and screaming out of the building’#‘found my ceo sleeping in the elevator again’#‘head of R&D just asked me decipher an email at the CEO sent to him. it reads like gen z word salad’#‘Tim Drake is a wonderful boss. he did just ask me if I wanna see him ollie. it was pretty sick’#Tim drake #ceo tim drake #alfred pennyworth
