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!!!)

other!

• young royals (swedish netflix drama! its about the prince of sweden and how he fal...

• 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 if you do have a better console i recommend playing it on that instead!! i cried when i saw what the game ACTUALLY looks like rip... nintendo why...)

• 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)

• skip and loafer (a super chill slice of life manga about a country girl who moves to the city! it also features male/female friendships which i thought was quite unique in manga!!)

• morgana and oz (a fantasy/romance webtoon. the main girl is a witch and the main guy is a vampire! their clans hate each other so if you're into forbidden love + a bit of enemies to lovers check this out!)

series

• magnus chase and the gods of asgard by rick riordan (this is one of rick's most underrated series imo since its overshadowed by percy jackson. unlike pjo- it is YA so its got a more serious tone and older characters! found family + norse mythology + lots and lots of violence lol + queer main characters!)
• 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 ❤️)
