  • The Manga and Anime Genre that Defeats the Odds and Statistics

    The Manga and Anime Genre that Defeats the Odds and Statistics

    At least it does with me… Do you know Shonen in Manga and Anime? I do, and I love watching it and reading, and I’m not male.

    Welcome, dearies! I might defy the norm at times, but this is one time that I love admitting it the most, because yes, I do love, colourful, dovey-lovey, doki-doki, kawaii stuff, I do. 🙂

    That’s Shojo.

    But what about its counterpart: Shonen? Well, I enjoy that very much, too.

  • Did you hear about Dragon Ball Super Galactic Patrol?

    Did you hear about Dragon Ball Super Galactic Patrol?

    Hello, dearies! 🐉

    This an anime related one, and you might not know this one but I am a huge Dragon Ball fan, enthusiast? Whichever you prefer.

    I watched DBZ several times, DB Kai even more, even GT at the time (DB from the 80s? Maybe one time), I am more of a Gohan and Vegeta fan to be honest, oh, and of course Super, all the movies and the anime, and the movies again, Broly was also in my radar a couple of times. Super Hero, a little bit.

    Daima? I am still working on it. Wow, that was a lot of naming and catching you up on my tastes, and the reason for my excitement!!!

    There is the recent announcement of Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, which was introduced at the 40th anniversary celeb of Dragon Ball on January 25 at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri.

  • June Mini Book Mail: Manga + Light Novel

    June Mini Book Mail: Manga + Light Novel

    Welcome, dearies! ✨️📚

    I have some book mail to show off…

    This is a mini book mail as the name clearly states because I got other things in the same package and only 1 manga and 1 Light Novel along with that.

    So, I have never owned a Light Novel, not even on Kindle so I was excited to show of this one: My Happy Marriage. You might know it as: Watashi no shiawase na kekkon, and yes, this is an anime (you can watch it on Ntflix). In any case, it’s super cute, the cover I mean.

    Hello, dearies! 🎆🎐

    Welcome to a new rambling about a Manga. I finished Fruits Basket this month, and found it quite interesting.

    What shocked me the most about reading and finishing the Manga was that I knew where it was going because I’d watched the anime (2019 version), but I was still into it, it didn’t feel like a repeat, but at the same, it was a sort of comfort read, I don’t know if you know what I mean, but it was nice. And I liked it of course.

    5 Manga to Start the Journey

    Hello, dearies! 🐱

    This is a difficult one! Why? Because we all have different tastes, and even more varies in Manga, I think. Don’t you?

    But I’ll try to give a well-rounded view… lol, I’m not, this is completely biased and oriented towards what I like the most. So here we go.

    As you might know, I like reading and my manga collection has been growing too, so these are some of the titles that I liked the most.

    Kon’nichiwa, dearies! ⭐️

    I haven’t enjoyed an Anime in a while, but this one had me glued to the screen, and the best was that the second season had just aired this year, so I got to see both in one go, problem now is that I’ll have to wait for season 3. Or I can read the Light Novel and not wait for that, so I bought the first one, it’s waiting on my Kindle.

    After saying that, let’s recap on Classroom of the Elite, an anime that makes you doubt everyone and start saying, repeatedly, don’t trust them.
