anime!

• natsume yuujinchou (a really wholesome and emotional slice of life anime about a lonely boy who can see spirits!)
• kimi to boku (a cute little series about 4 childhood friends and their day to day antics! if you're in the mood for something chill and relaxing this would be a great one! its got the same vibes as free! but without the swimming lol!)
• gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun (its about a teenage boy who secretly writes super cheesy shoujo manga HAHA. the characters are extremely quirky and theres some adorable pairings/romances on the side too! its truly the funniest thing ive ever watched- you'd love it!!!)
• dungeon meshi (adventure/fantasy anime! the mc loses his sister in a dungeon he was exploring so him and his friends go back to save her! the series also has a huge...

• life is strange: true colours (a decision based game! the main character has the ability to read and manipulate other people's emotions! there is a mystery + some romance!)

quick note for lis!! → the graphics on the switch are HORRIBLE so make sure you play on the pc instead!)

• what remains of edith finch (a very short and eerie mystery game! its about a young teenage girl called edith and you have to explore her childhood home to find out how everyone in her family mysteriously died)
• sonic frontiers (open world sonic game! you lose your friends at the start and have to visit 5 different worlds to free them! playing as a super fast adorable little hedgehog is just so much fun!!) )

• our walk home (a drama/romance webtoon! its about 2 boys who are meant to be rivals because their schools are always fighting with each other. but turns out they have a lot in common so they secretly hang out and get close. it reminds me of heartstopper... super fluffy romance but these characters have a lot of personal problems they have to deal with too so it can get pretty heavy sometimes!!)

duology

• aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe by benjamin alire saenz (this was one of the most thought-provoking books ive ever read!! its beautifully written. i wont say much- its better to just read this without knowing anything at all! just trust me on this ❤️)

more to come soon i hope! hopefully this reading slump ends soon.. *updating this in march 2025* i am still in a slump so no new book recs :(
