WWW (Wednesday) Thursday

[duckprintspress]

I actually wrote this yesterday, but I was traveling and only on mobile so it got posted to the Discord I do reading stuff in but no where else. So, crossposting today, even tho it's already inaccurate (I've finished two of my current reads since when I wrote this).

1. What are you currently reading?

• The Beauty's Blade by Feng Ren Zuo Shu: I have only 80 pages left and I still have no idea why the ml would even tolerate the mc, much less love her. The jianghu chaos is kinda fun, at least.
• Yona of the Dawn vol 28 by Mizuho Kusanagi
• Yellow omnibus 1 by Makoto Tateno: I read the first volume of this in lile 2006 and was always curious what happened, so I'm finally reading the whole thing on Libby. Very easy to forget with 20+ years distance how much rapey stuff and weird underage stuff was in ancient yaoi lmao. And this was one I liked! Not near as bad as the ones that led me to stop reading the whole genre for a long time.

2. What have you recently finish reading?

• Gachiakuta vol. 3 by Kei Urana
• Dandadan vol. 14 by Yukinobu Tatsu
• A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation vol. 4 by Misaki: this really is Lout of Count's Family a little to the left and much gayer and tbh I'm here for it.
• Real-Time Fever by Taberu Kasumi: weird blackmail mlm explicit thing about two students, one of whom is a camboy sort of. It was meh.
• That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime manga vol. 11 by Fuse
• I've Seen it All vol. 1 and 2 by Shouko Takaku: speaking of old yaoi, this was a surprisingly fun couple books (there's at least one more but it's not on Libby) about a doctor who is an expert on penile health and surgery and the rando be runs into and is like "I can tell by his appearance that his penis is perfect and I must have him." It's crack adjacent but idk it made me smile.
• Yona of the Dawn vol. 25 to 27 by Mizuho Kusanagi
• Dinosaur Sanctuary vol. 7 by Itaru Kinoshita
• Sakamoto Days vol. 21 by Yuto Suzuki

3. What will you read next?

Novels: my hold on the next volume of Apothecary Diaries came through so probably that, then Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell is still next.

Graphic novels from the (physical) library: still Daybreak vol. 2 by Moosopp.

Graphic novels from the (digital) library: Just Like Mona Lisa vol. 3 is the only one due imminently.
