✩⸻ June

    • ✔⇉ Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Shidai by Authors: Irodori Kazuki, Katsuki Wakatsu. Artist: Ohashi Kikka; I could only read to Chapter 18. It's an isekai and BL!! I'm in love with Aresh. He cares so much for Seiichirou <3 Also, it's not only romance, it has a plot too! And social commentary ★★★★★
    • ✔⇉ The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All by Arai Sumiko; yuri, the art is really pretty and I love that the author uses green in all the pages, the story is cute ★★★★★
    • When a Cat Faces West, Volume 1 by Yuki Urushibara; kind of boring but I'm going to continue with the series cause I'm a fan of Yuki Urushibara ★★★☆☆
    • I Think Our Son Is Gay Vol. 3 by Okura ★★★★★
    • I Think Our Son Is Gay Vol. 4 by Okura ★★★★★

✩⸻ July

    • Vivian Maier: A Photographer Found by Marvin Heiferman and John Maloof ★★★★★
    • Piranesi by Susanna Clarke ★★★★☆ (excerpt from Nataliya's Goodreads review "It’s the story of kindness and gratitude. It’s the story of loneliness and solitude and isolation. It’s the story of reverence and contemplation, ingenuity and survival, innocence and evil, curiosity and contentment."
    • Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto ★★★★☆
    • Nordic Tales: Folktales from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark Illustrated by Ulla Thynell
    • A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding, 1) by Freya Marske

✩⸻ August

    • Metamorphose no Engawa (BL Metamorphosis) Vol. 1 by Tsurutani Kaori ★★★★☆
    • 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 :)
