1. What are you currently reading?

• Dawning vol. 2 by ICE: enjoying this vaguely toxic BL danmei. When I saw reviewers say it has Wangxian vibes (despite being modern) I'll admit I was little "people compare to the one danmei they've read, huh" but no it actually does kinda have Wangxian vibes, tho Li Luo is much more self-aware about his feelings than Wei Wuxian ever could dream of being. Both these idiots need to use their words.
• still picking away at DMBJ vol. 2, of course.
• no progress on CMoS 18. I've just been exhausted.

2. What have you recently finished reading?

• Dawning vol. 1 by ICE
• Do You Really Only Want a Meal? vol. 1 and 2 by Yasu Tadano: kinda flat modern BL about a guy dating his boss's son. Nothing bad happens at all, which is often okay but here it just felt one note, and also I just at no point could figure out what the boss's son liked about the guy. He just kinda. Decided he'd like him. And that was that.
• Gachiakuta vol. 4 by Kei Urana: I don't know what it is about the art style, pacing, and writing that makes me feel like I never have any damn idea what's going on in this manga.
• A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation vol. 10 by Misaki
• Witch Hat Atelier vol. 14 by Kamome Shirahama: oh man this volume was so good.
• Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen vol. 1 by Kamome Shirahama and Hiromi Sato: I'll own it was probably unfair of me to read this seeing as how I didn't expect to like it and it was exactly how I expected it to be. For all that, I actually liked it better than I usually like stuff like this, which isn't saying much, but I'm at least gonna read another vol.

3. What will you read next?

Novels: Dawning, vol. 3, which is the last volume. After I finish that I need to buckle down on...

Graphic novels (physical): still Rebis: Born and Reborn by Carlotta Dicataldo and Irene Marchesini. I've got a really big library pile from the library and I've got to read and return them, it's not fair to hoard this many new queer graphic novel releases.

Graphic novels (digital): Yuri Espoir vol. 4 is due in 5 days, so I guess that.
