THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT THE APOTHECARY DIARIES IS GETTING AN ANIME???? I've been obsessed with it for MONTHS, like this show will definitely get me back into watching anime 😭😭
hahaha yay glad the news reached you! 🥳 exciting year ahead! The Apothecary Diaries is sooooo so good and i'm happy we get to see it animated 😭 and it looks amazing 🤩
DO IT. you won't regret. so many people kept telling me to read it already since i had it sitting on my TBR for so long. when i finally did, worth it 🤩 anime trailer looks great too so either way, we'll make sure you get into the series hahah
it really is! i enjoy cleaning and organizing a lot ☺ and yesss so glad that Kamisama Kiss has been getting reprinted so everyone can enjoy it again 🥰 thanks so much for the support!
I'm honestly so excited when I can buy a bunch of manga at once and have my own little happy moment that'll turn to stress as I'll have to redo my shelf. Right now I can only get up to 4 volumes at all time so I haven't experienced the glee of a box full of manga
I get excited even when just 1 package comes in and it’s a single manga vol 😊 but I totally know what you mean with having to redo the shelves every time something new arrives 🫠😭
Villains are destined to die is like the best villainess, Isekai, otome game manhwa you can start off with (in my opinion). It's my absolute favorite and have already collected the first 2 volumes (third coming soon). Hope you enjoy the series as much as I do.
Ok this is super reassuring! 😅 I’ve tried another villainess/isekai/otome manga and i didn’t enjoy it that much after just the first vol. but I’ve heard positive things from several people about VADTD so I’m def looking forward to it! The art is gorgeous too so 😍😍
The best experience for reading BSD spin offs would be if you read them atleast after the vol 10 of the main manga series. But I would highly recommend atleast watching the anime as Dazai's Dark Era part of the story is not covered in the main manga series and is essential to know before reading Beast. Also I hope we get "See you in my 19th life" as an english release soon. I just read it recently & absolutely loved it.
you're my go-to when it comes to trying to understand BSD and the order 💯🤭 but ahh ok i'm a couple vols away then for the manga before starting spin offs. i actually don't have Beast (yet) but def good to know! and yes i would love it if Hye Lee's series get licensed for a print in English! i actually like A Good Day to Be a Dog a bit more but both are very good 🥰
shadows house is amazing! the foreshadowing the story does leading up to one of the 100 chapters is amazing! my mind was blown. the anime was pretty good too though season 1 did change some things around and added anime exclusive stuff. just ignore the last 2/3 episodes of season 1 and you'll be good
i've heard great things about Shadow House and feel like i would really enjoy it since i've been loving some supernatural series lately. but thanks for the heads up! 🥰 i think i'll watch the anime after i read it since that's how i tend to enjoy both versions of a series 👀
been marathoning your videos for the past week bc they're all so comfy -- plus we have similar taste and thoughts on a lot of the titles you talk about ehehe so happy to have found your channel :o) im about to purchase my first acrylic plate, and would love to know which display holder you use for your therapy game acrylic plate !
ahh thanks so much for marathon watching my vids! 🥺 hope the older content wasn't too strange to watch (bc of the audio/loud music LOL). happy to hear that we have similar taste in manga tho 🤭 which are your top favs so far? as for the acrylic plate holders (i believe you were the one to message me on IG?), they always came with the acrylics that i've bought so i never had to buy separate stands/feet for them 🥲
@cadence_la i feel like our thought process when reading manga is pretty similar even if we don't necessarily read the same things haha. im a huge fan of wayama yama, nagabe, takamatsu misaki, and moyori mori's works !! all of these mangakas have such a strong sensibility in their art style, characters, and storytelling. really love how they can create such expansive worlds no matter slice of life or high fantasy -- all while being wrapped up in a single volume (which feels better on my wallet LOL) of your collection, im currently rereading kieta hatsukoi in anticipation for the final volume and it's such a silly goofy time that makes my heart so happy ;;;;;; even better that the illustrator is the same mangaka as ore monogatari, which is one of my favorite shoujos. the live action tv adaptation is super fun, would recommend hehe and yeah that was me on ig ! actually had a smaller easel from daiso that works just fine, so now my acrylic plate fits perfectly on my shelf. thanks for being the catalyst to purchasing this piece, it really is a new way to display art from a series that i love so dearly ;w;
@@emayelngl, i haven't heard of any of those mangakas except for Takamatsu Misaki and had to look the rest of em up! 👀 but sounds like they're all efficient with their storytelling to successfully deliver great one-shots! for keita hatsukoi, i've been waiting for that final vol release so that i can just read all 9 vols rather than waiting each time 😆 i've only heard good things about it and now from you so i'm def looking forward to it's release~ ohh i'm glad you found a solution! i'll have to keep daiso in mind if i ever find the need for something handy like that. acrylic plates really are such a treat to display 🥰
@@cadence_la the spiral into bl is a long one AHAHA and many of the mangakas i listed are more recent, so i hope you can keep finding more stories u love in this genre slowly n slowly ! your love for given reminds me when i first discovered kizu natsuki during her doujinshi days -- i recommend checking out her haikyuu djs, she was a big iwaoi and matsuhana fan :o) i feel that you'd really enjoy the kr manhwa wolf in the house by park jiyeon. her command of storytelling is so masterful with the plot's shifting tones, and her art style (and spicy scenes lol) is so expressive and delivers every single time ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و also apologies for any semblance of spoilers in my hikaru comment -- i thought this tagline that was circulating on tumblr made the story sound so interesting esp bc i've also yet to read it ;;; hoping that you can still enjoy it at your own pace !
@@emayel speaking of natsuki kizu/gusari! i do have a bunch of her HQ djs LOL the iwaoi ones 🤭 i'm just a big oikawa fan so iwa-chan came alone for the ride haha. ahh ok i'll bookmark wolf in the house! i was reading some comments about it and many said it was hilarious but emotional as well 👀 two things i really like. thanks for the rec! ohh and no worries about hikaru! i actually just read the first vol and a lot of it still surprised me 😳 kinda makes me think of tatsuki fujimoto bc of the art but also gives me summertime rendering vibes. really intriguing! not sure if you've gone past vol 1 already?
Lovely haul as usual, and the updated set up looks great!! I've been wanting to check out Tokyo Aliens, but also wanting to wait for more of it to come out so I won't have to wait in between volumes 🫣 but the art style definitely looks fantastic, and the illustrations in special booklet look so good 👀🥰 Hope everything is going ok at work, and looking forward to your upcoming reading logs!!
thank youu! 🥰 Tokyo Aliens is a fairly straight forward read (maybe? we'll see how the plot develops) and i'm along for the art ride and gushing about the character designs 😆 and aww thanks again! work is work 😬 channeling it towards lots of reading 😉
The Apothecary Diaries was such a delightful surprise. It was a total cover buy, I saw volume 2 and immediately had to buy it and the first volume just for the art. I love the story and characters in general, but the biggest surprise was that at its heart it’s a sympathetic story about sex work. None of the women are shamed or used as a joke, instead their daily lives and the difficulties they face are explored. The story is so respectful and I love it so much!
yesss! i'm so glad you're enjoying it and you totally highlighted a great aspect of the series! it's shown as something that's an aspect of the story and adds to the plot/characters but doesn't shame them like you said. Maomao just kinda wants to get away from that life but recognizes that it's there. she's such a great female lead 😊
I love Shadow's House! The world is soooo intriguing and unique and I am just FASCINATED to see what is revealed next. Vol 3 comes out soon, so you might could do a binge and see how you like it! 😎
Ohhhh very cool! Ok awesome, I’m glad I’m hearing quite a lot of support for Shadow House 😍 I def have something to look forward to with that series then. Is it very cliffhanger-y? But you’re prob right, I may wait til the next vol release to give it a read. Have you watched the anime?
@@cadence_la hmm I don't know if I'd say cliffhanger-y really, but it definitely keeps me on my toes like "*groaning* nooooo I wanna know what happens next!" if that makes sense 😂 I'm not much of an anime girl, so I've only read the manga--I can definitely imagine some of the imagery looking really cool in motion though 🤔
@@soniciris after catching up with the latest TBHK vol, i'm kinda assuming Shadow House may give me similar vibes (not that they're similar in story) in that it made me want to keep reading to find out what happens next, like you said 👀
sorry for not being active much on here, this last month has been rough!! but anywhooo that anya magnet is insanely cute, i wish there would be more of figurines that are as original as that one! also Yakuza Fiance artstyle reminds me so much of "Haru's Curse", i dont know if its the same author, but it can't be no other with that much resemblance!
no problem at all! thanks for coming back and checking out the video 🥰 and yess the Yakuza Fiance mangaka is the same as Haru's Curse 🤭 it's been an interesting read so far! (i only read the first 2 vols)
Maomao supremacy! Also omg I knew that Rooms artbook had familiar art in it! Bouquet of flowers has been on my to buy list forever. Now I gotta add this one to my list. Pretty boys and aliens? HMM. Tempting... Please do get more Noragami! Beautiful art and a great cast of characters :) Plus now we know vol 27 is the final so you can calculate space haha. Its so awesome to see collections getting filled out with the recent reprints! As our shelves fill, our wallets empty. Amen 🙏
ohh totally Maomao supremacy! just hearing her VA in the anime trailer, i was like YES. so so excited. she's such a mood. i wouldn't be doing a good job if there wasn't at least something you were adding to your list XD Rooms is such a fun book to flip through. everything's so pretty and i wish i had a room like any one of those in the book. ah yah Tokyo Aliens is a pretty full package. pretty characters, stunning art, aliens that don't really look like typical aliens bc they're in a humanoid form (for now at least) 😆 the story is pretty interesting too! i will most likely be allocating that space to Noragami tbh 😏 and yes, a moment of silence for our empty wallets and that they may be filled for the next batch of orders 🙏
it's like everywhere i turn, someone has Cherry Magic in their collection and it was about time i get on it too XD hopefully soon i can get into the series! 😍
STOPP BC IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MOST OF THESE BL MANGAS AT BARNES AND NOBLE BUT THEY USUALLY GET HOGGED WHERE IM AT.. WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE FOR ME 💀 BUT ILL KEEP HUNTING FOR THE ONES I HAVE MY EYE ON THE MOST! :) btw i loved this video sm! keep it up if you will!
Ohh noooo! Sending your B&N all the BL manga vibes so they stock what you’re looking for 🙏 you can also ask them if they can order the vols/series you’re looking for and have it available for you to pick up in store ☺️ But thanks so much! I appreciate your support 😍💕
That’s good to hear! 😍 I’ve honestly only heard positive things about Cherry Magic so I’m thinking about reading what I have of it so far (maybe in June) and then watching the drama after 🥰
ohh myy hahah nooo don't do it! 🥲 just keep a look out for the big sales bc retailers have them fairly often throughout the year 😆 but be sure to be responsible with your spending! 😭
Hey you said you won't pick up physical copies but will read digital... where can we read digital ones in the US ? My trip to Tokyo I wish I would've just paid for another baggage because it would've been well worth it .
majority of the time i will pick up physical manga 😊 for digital, there's bookwalker, azuki, the shonen jump app, and kodansha is working on releasing their own digital manga reading platform. but hmm i don't know too much about any other digital manga service providers 😅 ohh i totally know what you mean with needing a full empty luggage when travelling to Japan 🥲 i could have brought more stuff to bring home but i didn't have enough space (or hands haha) when i had visited a few years ago 😭
fun fact: a lot of these i got in december and opened a while ago 😶 you and baker have invested more than enough into isekai stonks. invest more on my behalf 🤭
hahah it really did catch me off guard! 💀 the concept of having it with the books is fun. glad they didn't end up making my books smell like meat 😳 i think all the BL i mentioned are ones i'd def recommend. some more than others :) like for wholesome, My Summer of You is really nice. and then for spicy, On or Off is great and the ML made me laugh so much XD
You're voice paired with the background music is so calming for me ❤️ thank you ! Also loved the selection of manga, where do you order from and those they you order in Japan or a language not English, do you manage to read them through a translator or something ?
aww i'm glad i can provide some relaxing content for you 🥰 i order my English manga nowadays through Barnes & Noble and maybe sometimes from Kinokuniya. but for Japanese manga, i read them using the Google Translate app. the translations can be a bit clunky and sometimes i don't really understand what's being said bc the translations aren't the greatest, but for the most part, i get the gist of what's happening 😅 is there a series you're interested in that doesn't have an English print/official translation yet?
@@cadence_la AHH I'm from the UK and we don't have a Barnes and Noble :(, there are places over here we can order from I am slowly finding out ! There's so many series I'd like translated ! I'm mostly into Yuri manga and manhua to be honest, which can be (compared to other genres like Yaoi can be few and far between. Interesting that you read them by translating them online, I'd never considered that... I usually just rely on fan translations I find online where I cannot buy the official versions through an app or something!
@@MP24685 ohhh hm in terms of UK bookstores, i've heard of places like Forbidden Planet and Blackwell's :) at least those are the ones i've heard some friends talk about that are from the UK. ah ok so GL series! the only girl's love manga i've read is Run Away With Me, Girl, which i actually really loved. it was a very emotional journey and i loved how it ended. only 3 vols! i'm sure you've already read it since you're mostly into yuri 🥰 and hm in terms of manhua, yah the only one i have is a BL haha
@@cadence_la I did only the other day five out about forbidden planet so I'm definitely putting that on my list of places to visit! I didn't know about Blackwells so thank you 😊 I'll see if there's any local! I haven't actually read run away with me girl 🤣 there's so much to read !
@@MP24685 it's always nice to be able to go to a book store in person and infinitely browse the shelves 🥰 ohh you haven't! ok run away with me girl is a beautiful series. the art is gorgeous too. it's rated 16+ so if you're able to, i'd def recommend it 😊
Your collection is looking amazing 😮 I wish my mind could organize like that. On or Off is becoming on of my favorite bl titles. Just love his co workers on his app so much! Cherry Magic is just so wholesome & sweet! I can’t wait to do my yearly reread of it in June! Speaking of June I heard Anti Romance two was supposed to come out in June 😢did it get pushed back? I was going to wait to read the first one to read them together for Pride Month. Oh well may read it now than lol 😂 great haul!
thank youu! 🥰 honestly, it takes me so long to plan and edit on how i want to organize things. and yesss OOO is such a fun read! Yiyoung makes me laugh so much 😆 ohh if you're doing a read through of Cherry Magic in June, i'd love to join you if i can 😊 i looked back on Anti-Romance and saw that my original preorder did say a June release but the same day i preordered, the release date updated to October ☠ this is through Barnes and Noble and believe yahh it got pushed back 🥲
That meaty smell is supposed to be sweat smell, I wonder whose sweat it is😂 when they print all the volumes of sweat -soap , I am wondering if they will print the doujinshi 🤣🤣nice haul video, thank you for sharing.
ohh nooooo hahaha 😰💀 it could be any one of the characters XD i'm surprised they opted to include a sticker sheet that literally smelled like meat 😅 someone had done a doujinshi for sweat and soap? 👀 and thanks for watching! 🥰
@@cadence_la yeah it doesn’t seem like a good idea to me but someone in promotions thought why leave sweat and include both😆 I wish they include that special soap instead. the doujinshi is by the author herself I think, its about child making😶 fits right in between their wedding and their pregnancy journey. Spicier than usual albeit censored🥴
@@nushrathumaira2257 the second boxset will actually include soap! 😅 looking forward to what that will look like and what it'll smell like 🤔 ohhh is it? imma have to find it! i always seem to miss that there's extra content at the end of a series bc they'll leave it off and won't print it 🥲
So cool to see more manga I know or own! I also bought new mangas (idk what they're called in english though). Shadow House looks like a cool manga (manga series) definetly gonna check it out. I also bought "Tokyo Aliens" just for the cover 😶
our collections seem to align a lot hehe 🤭 ohh yayy always exciting to get new manga in :3 yahh seems Shadow House as gotten quite a lot of good reviews (the anime as well) 👀 ahh yesss Tokyo Aliens XD it's hard not to get into it bc it's great artwork and overall the story concept is interesting!
@@cadence_la yeah it is always nice to get new manga, I just need one more and I would have already 30 more then at the end of 2022! That's crazy, I mean last year I already collected so many, like for example in both 2020 and 2021 I only got 4 each , I don't really remember when I really started collecting but it's fun reading all these different stories ✨
@@Sleep02Sunshiine slowly but surely you'll see your collection grow and grow 😆 there's just so many series to read and enjoy! what was your favorite pick up from last year? and is there one you're really looking forward to releasing this year?
@@cadence_la My fav pick up from last year was probably toilet bound hanako-kun and a Beauty/Belle and the Beast story (sorry don't know the Englisch title). I don't really look at stuff that is realeasing soon except for mangas that I own (which I buy randomly/just get what looks interesting at my local book shop or any book shop). I am though really excited for the next volumes of Sasaki and Miyano, My Love Mix-Up, Someday I'll fall asleep (idk If it's called that in English too) and for In the name of the mermaid princess.
@@Sleep02Sunshiine ahh ok maybe Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost? i've heard of that series and seen some people pick that up 👀 i do like browsing shelves in person too and discovering a series that way. it's theraputic ☺ omg yess so excited for more Sasaki and Miyano! 🥰 i haven't started reading My Love Mix-Up yet but may just wait until all the vols are released. and i'm not sure i've heard of that last one 🤔
ohh there's so many places to watch anime nowadays, which is a blessing and a curse lol. there's a variety of subscription services like Crunchyroll and HiDive. And other streaming platforms that have anime now too like Netflix and Disney+. hope that helps!
THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT THE APOTHECARY DIARIES IS GETTING AN ANIME???? I've been obsessed with it for MONTHS, like this show will definitely get me back into watching anime 😭😭
hahaha yay glad the news reached you! 🥳 exciting year ahead! The Apothecary Diaries is sooooo so good and i'm happy we get to see it animated 😭 and it looks amazing 🤩
I’ve been fighting the urge to buy The Apothecary Diaries due to lack of space, but I might have to act up again
DO IT. you won't regret. so many people kept telling me to read it already since i had it sitting on my TBR for so long. when i finally did, worth it 🤩 anime trailer looks great too so either way, we'll make sure you get into the series hahah
dont fight it. do it!
pls get it, its too good

ahh ok good to know! 🥰 so it's more like a slice of life series?
@@cadence_la I would say gag humor and little bit of slice of life. Not at all dark as the usual BSD content😞
@@nushrathumaira2257 ahh i see! thanks for the heads up!
STOPP BC IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MOST OF THESE BL MANGAS AT BARNES AND NOBLE BUT THEY USUALLY GET HOGGED WHERE IM AT.. WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE FOR ME 💀 BUT ILL KEEP HUNTING FOR THE ONES I HAVE MY EYE ON THE MOST! :) btw i loved this video sm! keep it up if you will!
Ohh noooo! Sending your B&N all the BL manga vibes so they stock what you’re looking for 🙏 you can also ask them if they can order the vols/series you’re looking for and have it available for you to pick up in store ☺️
But thanks so much! I appreciate your support 😍💕
Cherry Magic has a fantastic drama and movie. I highly recommend it!
That’s good to hear! 😍 I’ve honestly only heard positive things about Cherry Magic so I’m thinking about reading what I have of it so far (maybe in June) and then watching the drama after 🥰
My nana vol. 12 also just shipped and my nana collection is now up to date (basically completed, I have no hope of Ai returning to the series 😣)
seems vol 12 is the last to complete many people's Nana collections 🥰 and yahh i feel the same. that vol 21 is basically the final vol 😞
I'm fighting the urge to spend my life savings on manga haauls 😅😆😁
ohh myy hahah nooo don't do it! 🥲 just keep a look out for the big sales bc retailers have them fairly often throughout the year 😆 but be sure to be responsible with your spending! 😭
@@cadence_la 😅ok
Hey you said you won't pick up physical copies but will read digital... where can we read digital ones in the US ? My trip to Tokyo I wish I would've just paid for another baggage because it would've been well worth it .
majority of the time i will pick up physical manga 😊 for digital, there's bookwalker, azuki, the shonen jump app, and kodansha is working on releasing their own digital manga reading platform. but hmm i don't know too much about any other digital manga service providers 😅
ohh i totally know what you mean with needing a full empty luggage when travelling to Japan 🥲 i could have brought more stuff to bring home but i didn't have enough space (or hands haha) when i had visited a few years ago 😭
Oh there ! Manga have different agains European and Japanese manga which are very pretty covers
I really like seeing other country’s versions of a manga print! Sometimes I like those better than the English ones we get 🫣😅
The restraint to not open all these packages until you had enough for a vid also time to get ur isekai stonks up!
fun fact: a lot of these i got in december and opened a while ago 😶
you and baker have invested more than enough into isekai stonks. invest more on my behalf 🤭
This haul ❤😍 I want to try out so much of the BL you picked up!
Also I laughed so hard ‘What the heck is that smell?!’😂😂
hahah it really did catch me off guard! 💀 the concept of having it with the books is fun. glad they didn't end up making my books smell like meat 😳
i think all the BL i mentioned are ones i'd def recommend. some more than others :) like for wholesome, My Summer of You is really nice. and then for spicy, On or Off is great and the ML made me laugh so much XD
You're voice paired with the background music is so calming for me ❤️ thank you ! Also loved the selection of manga, where do you order from and those they you order in Japan or a language not English, do you manage to read them through a translator or something ?
aww i'm glad i can provide some relaxing content for you 🥰 i order my English manga nowadays through Barnes & Noble and maybe sometimes from Kinokuniya. but for Japanese manga, i read them using the Google Translate app. the translations can be a bit clunky and sometimes i don't really understand what's being said bc the translations aren't the greatest, but for the most part, i get the gist of what's happening 😅 is there a series you're interested in that doesn't have an English print/official translation yet?
@@cadence_la AHH I'm from the UK and we don't have a Barnes and Noble :(, there are places over here we can order from I am slowly finding out ! There's so many series I'd like translated ! I'm mostly into Yuri manga and manhua to be honest, which can be (compared to other genres like Yaoi can be few and far between. Interesting that you read them by translating them online, I'd never considered that... I usually just rely on fan translations I find online where I cannot buy the official versions through an app or something!
@@MP24685 ohhh hm in terms of UK bookstores, i've heard of places like Forbidden Planet and Blackwell's :) at least those are the ones i've heard some friends talk about that are from the UK. ah ok so GL series! the only girl's love manga i've read is Run Away With Me, Girl, which i actually really loved. it was a very emotional journey and i loved how it ended. only 3 vols! i'm sure you've already read it since you're mostly into yuri 🥰 and hm in terms of manhua, yah the only one i have is a BL haha
@@cadence_la I did only the other day five out about forbidden planet so I'm definitely putting that on my list of places to visit! I didn't know about Blackwells so thank you 😊 I'll see if there's any local!
I haven't actually read run away with me girl 🤣 there's so much to read !
@@MP24685 it's always nice to be able to go to a book store in person and infinitely browse the shelves 🥰
ohh you haven't! ok run away with me girl is a beautiful series. the art is gorgeous too. it's rated 16+ so if you're able to, i'd def recommend it 😊
where did you get your bookshelves from?? they’re so nice😭
my tall bookshelves are from ikea (they're the Hemnes shelves) and the shorter one i got from Target (the 48" Carson bookcase) 😊
Your collection is looking amazing 😮 I wish my mind could organize like that. On or Off is becoming on of my favorite bl titles. Just love his co workers on his app so much! Cherry Magic is just so wholesome & sweet! I can’t wait to do my yearly reread of it in June! Speaking of June I heard Anti Romance two was supposed to come out in June 😢did it get pushed back? I was going to wait to read the first one to read them together for Pride Month. Oh well may read it now than lol 😂 great haul!
thank youu! 🥰 honestly, it takes me so long to plan and edit on how i want to organize things. and yesss OOO is such a fun read! Yiyoung makes me laugh so much 😆
ohh if you're doing a read through of Cherry Magic in June, i'd love to join you if i can 😊
i looked back on Anti-Romance and saw that my original preorder did say a June release but the same day i preordered, the release date updated to October ☠ this is through Barnes and Noble and believe yahh it got pushed back 🥲
Where do you read your manga digitally? Please and thank you
There’s the shonen jump app and I used to read some series on the Crunchyroll manga app, but they’ve taken those series down 🥲
That meaty smell is supposed to be sweat smell, I wonder whose sweat it is😂 when they print all the volumes of sweat -soap , I am wondering if they will print the doujinshi 🤣🤣nice haul video, thank you for sharing.
ohh nooooo hahaha 😰💀 it could be any one of the characters XD i'm surprised they opted to include a sticker sheet that literally smelled like meat 😅 someone had done a doujinshi for sweat and soap? 👀
and thanks for watching! 🥰
@@cadence_la yeah it doesn’t seem like a good idea to me but someone in promotions thought why leave sweat and include both😆 I wish they include that special soap instead. the doujinshi is by the author herself I think, its about child making😶 fits right in between their wedding and their pregnancy journey. Spicier than usual albeit censored🥴
@@nushrathumaira2257 the second boxset will actually include soap! 😅 looking forward to what that will look like and what it'll smell like 🤔
ohhh is it? imma have to find it! i always seem to miss that there's extra content at the end of a series bc they'll leave it off and won't print it 🥲
@@cadence_la that’s great! It may be that soap that kotaro made.
@@nushrathumaira2257 true! I def want to reread the series when the next box set comes in and see which soap it’s based off of 😌
So cool to see more manga I know or own! I also bought new mangas (idk what they're called in english though). Shadow House looks like a cool manga (manga series) definetly gonna check it out. I also bought "Tokyo Aliens" just for the cover 😶
our collections seem to align a lot hehe 🤭 ohh yayy always exciting to get new manga in :3
yahh seems Shadow House as gotten quite a lot of good reviews (the anime as well) 👀
ahh yesss Tokyo Aliens XD it's hard not to get into it bc it's great artwork and overall the story concept is interesting!
@@cadence_la yeah it is always nice to get new manga, I just need one more and I would have already 30 more then at the end of 2022! That's crazy, I mean last year I already collected so many, like for example in both 2020 and 2021 I only got 4 each , I don't really remember when I really started collecting but it's fun reading all these different stories ✨
@@Sleep02Sunshiine slowly but surely you'll see your collection grow and grow 😆 there's just so many series to read and enjoy! what was your favorite pick up from last year? and is there one you're really looking forward to releasing this year?
@@cadence_la My fav pick up from last year was probably toilet bound hanako-kun and a Beauty/Belle and the Beast story (sorry don't know the Englisch title). I don't really look at stuff that is realeasing soon except for mangas that I own (which I buy randomly/just get what looks interesting at my local book shop or any book shop). I am though really excited for the next volumes of Sasaki and Miyano, My Love Mix-Up, Someday I'll fall asleep (idk If it's called that in English too) and for In the name of the mermaid princess.
@@Sleep02Sunshiine ahh ok maybe Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost? i've heard of that series and seen some people pick that up 👀
i do like browsing shelves in person too and discovering a series that way. it's theraputic ☺
omg yess so excited for more Sasaki and Miyano! 🥰 i haven't started reading My Love Mix-Up yet but may just wait until all the vols are released. and i'm not sure i've heard of that last one 🤔
Poggy woggy
pog to the wog
where to watch anime?
ohh there's so many places to watch anime nowadays, which is a blessing and a curse lol. there's a variety of subscription services like Crunchyroll and HiDive. And other streaming platforms that have anime now too like Netflix and Disney+. hope that helps!
