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.

Ulysses reviews "Review: The Witch’s Familiar (Le Familier du Sorcier, French edition)" by T.J. Nichols, Familiar Mates book 1:

"A classic M/M setup, with all sorts of delicious twists, which I read in the French edition... Ultimately, intriguing plot aside, it is the relationship between the two young men that matters most."

Sometimes, despite the warning not to, I totally judge a book by its cover when choosing what to read, which was the case with “Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter”. Fortunately, it more than lived up to its fantastic title and cover illustration.

Side by side in the battle, like granite we'll stand,
With a will and a might none shall sever;
For Glory or Death, we will twine in one wreath
Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle for ever.
