Another week, another list. This time anime that are like Fruits Basket but not entirely, because, have you seen it? Furuba is an institution on its own, I rarely (*cough* lying) get so into a story.
I thought I could say that, but it is not rare 🤣. I get into stories a lot, and you know it if you have been following the blog for years.
Welcome to a new reader list… because I am nice and like listing random bookish things, so why not manga genres that you can choose from and get you started in reading manga OR simply what to read next…
I have checked some of the ones that I like, and added a few others that I haven’t read but would like to.
Have you been keeping up with the k… the podcast, sorry, bad joke.
Have you been listening and following the podcast? Season 2 is almost done, only 2 episodes to go, and of course I left two of my favourite of the last couple of years for last, and they were both stories that I had not known about until they crossed my path.
But Episode 16, dedicated to NANA is now available, and you can listen to it on YouTube and also watch a few cool scenes from the anime.
Nana “Hachi” Komatsu hopes that moving to Tokyo will help her make a clean start and leave her capricious love life behind her. Nana Osaki, who arrives in the city at the same time, has plans to score big in the world of rock’n’roll. Although these two young women come from different backgrounds, they quickly become best friends in a whirlwind world of sex, music, fashion, gossip and all-night parties! Anxious to get into a Tokyo groove, both women are on the prowl for a funky and cheap place to live. But inexpensive apartments in Japan’s capital city are hard to find. Thank goodness each Nana has a clique of cool friends willing to help out. Too bad these friends are a little wiggy!
