New Manga Read - I Wanna Be Your Girl (Volume 2)

This series is very good presenting sensitive topics about gender and sexuality of teenagers in a way that works in a cute, romance setting where a girl has a crush on her longtime best friend.

The second volume did a great job of helping Hime come more to grips with the idea that she's not heterosexual, which she was struggling with in Volume 1.

Now I wait for my library network to get a copy of Volume 3 for me to read!

New Manga Read - Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, Volume 2

After feeling uncomfortable about the age gap in Volume 1, when I saw Volume 2 at the library, I decided to give it another shot.

It's cute. It's a slow burn, pun intentional. It's still weird, to me, the strange obsession with our female lead in cashier mode.

But, it's well written, love the art, and the characters are engaging.

So, even as I find the age gap dynamic a little odd and unsettling, I still enjoyed the second volume.

We'll see if I read 3.

New Manga Read - The Muscle Girl Next Door

Skinny guy Daria lives next door to the incredibly muscular Ruby and he's head over heels into her. The entire series follows as he slowly tries to befriend and hopefully get her to notice him in a romantic way.

Daria is shy, nervous, and very skinny. Ruby is outgoing and very muscular. Daria's super into his muscle mommy neighbor.

It's largely a harmless and cute slow burn romance between these two characters with some friends along the way helping them actually get together.

Cute read I found at the library.

New Manga Read - My Sister, The Cat (Volume 2-3)

This weekend, my oldest took the SAT's and I ended up waiting for him at the local library near the testing center. So, I finished up reading My Sister, The Cat.

It does not disappoint in a very cute story of found family with a human living with a cat family.

I don't know what else to say. It's a very cute story about family and sibling dynamics.

If that sounds cool to you, feel free to check it out.

At the library with my youngest, when she found this. The premise? After a teenage boy's Mother dies, he's taken in by an all cat family, the Mom of whom was close friends with his late mother, as he finishes high school. Of note, he is the only human in the household.

The entire first volume introduces us to Nekota, the teen boy, and his little cat sister Neneko.

It's very cute story with a much older sibling and a much younger sibling dynamic. Plus cute cats.

It's very cute and sweet, which is all it needs to be.

New Read - Mechanical Buddy Universe (Single Volume)

Mechanical Buddy Universe is a manga volume that is really a series of vignettes.

This entire volume sets up a world setting in a post-war world where androids exist and fought in numerous combat roles. The story follows a feminine presenting android who raised a human infant they found abandoned. However, most of the stories are set AFTER the baby is an adult, not really showing the "robot raising a human" story I was expecting.

I was expecting something like Somali and the Forest Spirit. What I got was...not that.

New Manga Read - Confession (Complete Series)

Wow.

This single volume, 11 chapter series is an entire dramatic bottle episode.

Two hikers, Asai and Ishikura, are hit with a massive storm while mountain climbing. They think they're going to die. That's when Ishikura admits he murdered a woman they both knew years ago.

Then they find a cabin to safely stay in until the storm passes.

The rest of the story takes place within the cabin. It is a roller coaster with an ending I did not exactly expect.

Wild thriller.
