- ✔ Hidamari ga Kikoeru (I Hear the Sunspot) Vol. 1 by Fumino Yuki ★★★★☆
- ▣ The Dangerous Convenience Store manghwa by 945 At first I was liking it but then it got a bit non-con with the big guy imposing what he wanted over what the other guy consented and... yeah.
- A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding, 1) by Freya Marske ★★★☆☆; I think the book starts really well and finishes just as well. But I didn't like the main characters much and I find the magic system quite messy. The best part about it was the contracts and connections with a place and the people living there. As for the characters, Adelaide and Mrs. Sutton were the most interesting characters for me. It was a struggle to finish reading it but it wasn't bad. I did enjoy a few parts and some even made me laugh. I think I had too high expectations.
- ✔ Metamorphose no Engawa (BL Metamorphosis) Vol. 2 by Tsurutani Kaori ★★★★★ I liked this one more than Vol. 1, we got to know a bit better some side characters.
- ✔ Metamorphose no Engawa (BL Metamorphosis) Vol. 3 by Tsurutani Kaori ★★★★☆
- ➤ Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou: Deluxe Edition Vol. 1 by Ashinano Hitoshi
✩⸻ September
- ✔ Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou: Deluxe Edition Vol. 1 by Ashinano Hitoshi ★★★★★ I have officially become a fan of YKK, the amount of bookmarks I'd left while reading are a testament of that. I need to write down some quotes here. Or maybe post the pages? In any case, YKK is a peaceful, melancholic and lovely experience. The art is gorgeous and the characters intriguing. I want to know more about their lifes and what awaits Alpha.
- ✔ Metamorphose no Engawa (BL Metamorphosis) Vol. 4 by Tsurutani Kaori ★★★★★ Oooh this one is my favorite! I really enjoyed the little moments. Urara is finally finding something she likes and I'm rooting for her. Also, when Ichinoi-san made a light-table with a shelf of glass she had lying around and putting a lamp under it... That is something that I do when I need to trace a sketch! I was grinning like a maniac to see something so mundane but so me at the same time, in the pages of a manga I'm reading. I felt seen, it's awesome.
- ✔ Metamorphose no Engawa (BL Metamorphosis) Vol. 5 by Tsurutani Kaori ★★★★☆ didn't know this was the final volume Q.Q It was really good, I even cried a bit. I'm going to miss these two. At least I still have the movie to look forward to :)
