Welcome to Litsy!

This volume picks up from the last one as we were introduced to a new set and more characters.
The beginning was a bit of a rough start for me with the setup of being introduced to yet another character but the second half got my interest as the story goes back to the alchemy college and Chise with her new friends so I'm definitely going to pick up the next volume.

I had a good feeling about this series and I‘m happy that I enjoyed the first volume. I love our MFC and the male lead is psychotic in an entertaining way. I do wish they aged the characters up just a little bit for the dynamics of the story but that might just be a cultural difference. This has definitely caught my attention enough to want to keep reading the rest of the series.

My dogs expression is mine too. This is a very very dark horror manga about a man who stalks the cool guy he has a crush on and falls into a much much worse situation. It does do a job of giving you extreme dread throughout, but I can‘t say I liked it. 3.25⭐️

#manga is a terrific way to get reading in when a #toddler is present.

and as always, I love libraries! #fantasy #nonfiction #medicine

My first manga! Was a cute and cozy story and I have book 2 on deck already. I‘m in a bit of a slump and this was an easy, cozy read to help ease me back into things. 😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This volume is more emotional than the last three. It deals with some very taboo scenarios (age gap and student/teacher) and it deals with the emotional repercussions that near the end, overflow. That being said, I was snorting at this panel (which I think is my favourite), as emotions were boiling over. I can‘t handle someone falling, even if I‘m tearing up. 🤣

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked it alot it was fun fast to read and a great shojo manga that made me want to read more shojo

I think if you have to wait for each volume, you can get frustrated with the storyline, but back to back, you see the simplicity in Nakamura‘s storytelling mesh wonderfully with the detail in their art. Nakamura‘s not going to tell you something is happening, they‘re going to show you with tearful eyes, clenched hands (watch the hands 🥵) and hostile glares.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I live for Nakamura‘s art. Long, lanky and fluid, people are almost animalistic/reptilian in some way. It is hard to explain but it‘s gorgeous. A simple beginning to a story: two boys meet and enter into a friendship, almost relationship. They‘re feeling each other out, and it‘s sweet and heartwarming.
