Thank you so so sooo much to @kodamatales.bsky.social for the copy of Magica and the early copy of Me and the Alien Mumu vol 2!! It totally made my week since Iβve been dealing with a sickness, canβt wait to check these out!
Hey, if you havenβt been reading A Curtain Call for You, you really should!! Itβs a story thatβll tug at your heart strings while simultaneously having you root for the main characters and their success!! Canβt wait for volume 3!
I want to spread some positivity in the world, so I want to shout-out folks doing great work in the Japanese translation space:

So happy to see this!
Highly recommend if you want a very realistic look at teenage pregnancy and the reactions from society, family, and friends. I genuinely love this series and I hope you do too!
Ok, Iβm catching up on a bunch of series recently and I read My Girlfriendβs Childβs volume 8 last night, and I REALLY love this series!! Itβs beautiful, sobering, and leaves me with a variety of emotions ranging from hopeful to anger (towards other people than the MCβs)
youtu.be/PImVndoJb1Y?... New video!! Iβve been collecting manga for 20 years, and thereβs a bunch of stuff Iβve learned about collecting, the manga industry, and about myself that I wanted to share!
Also really cool to see a huge amount of @glacierbaybooks.com at the Kino in LA!
Valentineβs Day Haul! My wife and I headed off to LA to check out thrift stores and Kinokuniya and picked up some awesome stuff! Also picked up my Witch Hat Atelier Shikishi! Itβs so cute!
Last chance to get these!!

The 1st batch of new manga in Jump started with a doctor going into combat, and was immediately followed by another manga about another Dr. jumping into combat. Under Doctor and Kinato's Magic tackle similar premises in different settings, so lets see which is the better Doctor!
