Manga Reading Wednesday
Jan. 5th, 2022 11:53 am I can't remember the last time I actually remembered to record my reading on "What Are You Reading Wednesday?" But, here I am!
I had a little accident at a local bookstore, Next Chapter. I was only intending to play taxi for Mason who had a gift certificate to spend, but I walked out with three manga in hand. Over the past week, I've read (and reviewed):
When I returned some books to the library yesterday, I picked up a big handful of manga. Last night I read the first volume of Weathering With You, which is based on a 2019 anime movie of the same name. I had wanted to watch the movie before I reviewed it, but Amazon noticed my interest and put it behind a paywall. I wanted to watch the movie because, like the manga for Your Name, I felt like the manga was kind of sketchy, like I was missing some connective tissue or something? It might all be in the second volume, but I had hoped to just cut to the original.
Alas.
Otherwise, I am still working my way through the second season of Critical Role while I quilt in the evenings.
So what about you? What have you been reading or consuming lately?
