 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):
I also read the first volume of Chainsaw Man by Fujimoto Tatsuki that I got out of my library, which I liked... OK? This is one of those manga that EVERYONE seems to be into and, maybe because it was so hyped, I found it underwhelming. In my review on MangaKast, I pointed out that there isn't anything WRONG with Chainsaw Man, per se, I just sort of bounced off of it. I suspect that when the anime comes out, I'll watch the whole thing. It's serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump, so it is of a type that I tend to enjoy.

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?
