Back on track with this beautifully illustrated manga. I read vol. 2 & 3 yesterday, then nabbed vol. 4 and 5. I didn't realize this series was going to focus on multiple stories of different brides, but it centers around a few main characters and their side stories. The artwork is exquisite.

I started this series earlier today, and after reading two books, I immediately went to the library to nab the rest of the series. It's about a growing relationship between two male teens. One has a hearing impairment. As their friendship grows, so do romantic feelings. I'm such a sucker for the BL genre #fujoshi 🥰 With disability representation to boot, it's a definite win.

Love how she's portrayed as "old..." she's 20. ?
Times sure were different back then. Between reading this and Clan of the Cave Bear, I'm pretty damn grateful to be around in this day and age and not when it was normal for 11-13 year olds to have children/get married. #yikes
Also, guy calling her "old" looks to be in his 70s, which makes absolutely no sense ?
Side note: the artwork is absolutely stunning.

I've been lazy about posting all I've been reading each week, but I've been keeping up with it.
Finished up Blood on the Tracks series. I'm sad, but man, that was a psychological ride.
Apothecary Diaries continues to be a favorite. I've even started watching the anime 🤓
Also pic'd are a couple one shots, 2 from a series I'm continuing (To Your Eternity/Yakuza & Stray) and a new one from a genre I don't normally read (Case Closed).
Playing catch up. Last week's #mangaweekly
Contined on with The Apothecary Diaries 3, and read a couple yaoi (BL) one shots. I tagged my favorite read of the three. Thought the yaoi might be mainly smut, but was pleasantly surprised to find they had more substance than predicted. Well... the one I tagged did. 🤷🏽

I started The Apothecary Diaries last week, and I'm currently on vol. 2... LOVE IT. These are a few others I nabbed from the library as well. Will probably spend a good chunk of my day tomorrow reading them.
A not pictured shout out to, SHADOWS HOUSE by Somato because that started getting Really good in volume 4, and I'm also watching the anime.. however, I'm reading the series illegally on the internet, so shhhhhhh 🤫

Cute little story about a man who loves baking. He makes tasty (yet healthy) baked treats for his partner while simultaneously freaking out about judgment from others on whether or not they know about his sexuality. I will continue this series. It's cute and also insightful as to how homosexuality is viewed in Japanese society. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gonna aim to read at least one manga volume a week as one of my (many) #2024readinggoals. Cheers to a new hashtag #mangaweekly and what I've chosen for Week 2.
