Finished Telework Yotabanashi. I read some of the other works by this author and this one is just as good. Art is great and the characters are enticing. Highly recommend this one.

I haven’t read telework yet, but I have read Sweat and Soap by the same author and highly recommend it. One of the rare adult romance stories in which the characters (mainly) act like adults and communicate rather than just high schoolers in an office setting.

This one is such a banger. The mangaka manages to write a better romance in just a few chapters than many other mangaka.

Started reading Apothecary Diaries. It’s better and very different than what I expected. The setting is ancient China, in the imperial palace. The protagonist is an apothecary but the manga is only partially about medicine. The art is top notch. The stories are interesting. It’s a mix between drama, romcom, and mystery. Highly recommend to those who like any of those genres.

I’ve had Apothecary Diaries sitting on my shelf for quite a while now; for some reason I just never got around to it. I’ll try and pick it up this week. Thanks for the rec!

Finished Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku yesterday. Good thing is is that its still being published, sad thing is I have to wait for the next chapter to release (don’t know if it’s weekly, monthly, or bimonthly).

It’s a typical high school, Romeo and Juliette-esque romance story. Very lovey dovey. Very cute. Couldn’t stop myself from smiling while reading. A girl, Kaoruko, first befriends the MC, Rintaro. But both of them come from two different school which hate each other. So, they have to keep their friendship quiet from others. Their friendship and later romance would be challenged throughout the story. The story also covers the impact of the MC’s friends and family and how they have changed him for the better.

I recommend the manga for anyone into romance manga but want something more than just the romance between the two MCs.

just completed the official English translation of Kaguya-Sama: Love is War this morning… which to my despair, only goes up through Vol. 26 (out of 28)! so, um, if anyone knows of quality fan translations for the last two volumes… you’d make my day.

Witch Hat Atelier and I recently caught up to Heavenly Delusion after I finished the first season of the anime and couldn’t resist reading the manga
