Natsume's Book of Friends Vol. 30 ❤️ That cliffhanger should be illegal 😭 It's suspicious we never saw the painting of the girl Natsume thought looks similar to Reiko only for Matoba to mention his sister's portrait. Could it be the same painting? Could Reiko be connected with the Matoba?

My parents came back from their vacation in Alsace and they brought back some macaroons 😋 Most of them were too sweet for my liking but the raspberry one with raspberry jam filling was pretty good.

Bern is the cutest and he's so protective of Miranda 🥺 The scene were he gets jealous of Heinrich because he was given food before him made me chuckle 😅

young cartoon boy with cat ears from the manga The Prince's Keeper (german version)

A cartoon cat is burning from jealousy, like literally on fire, because the female character hasn't been paying attention to him for a short while. Then she runs towards the cat and assures him he's still her favorite. In the last picture he's still mad about it despite her petting him.

From the manga The Prince's Keeper (german version)

the female cartoon character feels embarrassed and flustered with a cat sitting in the background with wide eyes.
In the next picture there's a close up on the cat and it looks like he's saying "I'm watching you" and "be careful what you do next"

I paid 8€ in total, so it really was a bargain 😁 The person who sold the manga to me told me those were duplicates she either won or was gifted but the library in her town already had them and she didn't want to sell them online. So when I told her about my donating plans, she was very happy <:

The art in the oneshot manga/artbook/fashion magazine hybrid Hyakkaten Waltz is stunning! I bet it was so much fun to come up with all of the fashion pieces (the clothing in particular) and the manga short stories in between made me feel like I was there and actually visiting the store.

Who Saw The Peacock Dance in the Jungle volume 6 🩷 I liked it and I'm eager to know how the story ends. I'm sad there's only one volume left though and I feel like it's another short series where I wish it would have been longer.

Maybe a hottake but:

Tbh I don't need the side characters to be super developed when I'm watching/reading something in the romance genre, because most of the time neither the side nor the main characters get the attention they deserve and it's so much worse for the latter who is supposed to be the focal point of the story.
Writers should rather invest in the main characters/couple instead of giving the side characters/couples too much room if they only get a limited page/episode count.

Some of my manga favorites 😊

A few of my favorite manga:

-Fall in Love You False Angels volume 5.
I don't read many highschool/college romance manga anymore because I'm easily bored when it doesn't have some sort of magical element 😅 but this one took me by surprise. I love the dynamic between the FL and ML, the humor and the art is pretty too ❤ The FL comes across as very sure of herself, some might even say a bit narcissistic, but I read 5 volumes now and to me it feels like she's more of a people pleaser bc life is easier that way. There are only a few people she feels comfortable enough to show her true self. I would still love her if it turns out she's really just a narcissist 😂
-Victoria of Many Faces. It's a heartfelt and fun Slice of Life story with romance and some minor action here and there and the found family trope, the little girl is so precious! Jeff (the ML) and Victoria (FL) make me so giddy and I love them 😍 An anime adaptation was announced for July.
- Natsume's Book of Friends. It's a Supernatural/Slice of Life with zero ..

Supernatural/Slice of Life with zero romance but amazing character growth and heartwarming stories. It also handles childhood trauma (neglect) pretty well and has the found family trope. The anime (7seasons!) is amazing too 😊
- Colette decides to die. It's not about what the title would suggest but actually a sweet romance with occasional melancholic/sad moments. It often feels like a warm hug and I LOVE Hades & Colette as a couple ♥And it has elements from greek mythology.
- When I Became A Commoner, They Broke Off Our Engagement. A character-driven Slice of Life story that blends fantastical elements with social commentary. The Romance in this series is more like a sub-plot and barely there, which is not something you would guess based on the title of the manga) so it's more focused on personal growth and Anna, which has quickly become a favorite of mine, settling into her new life and find her passion.
-Flying Witch. A healing manga about a witch in training in a small town, similar to Kiki's Delivery Service but it gets more ..

-Flying Witch. A healing manga about a witch in training in a small town, similar to Kiki's Delivery Service but it gets more magical as the "story" progresses, like the charactes visit the witches headquarters, work magical tasks to earn money, meet other witches and their professions and find our their element to find out which magic to learn best and so much more. It's very creative, very calm and relaxing. It doesn't have much story, so it's more about the daily life and witchy shenanigans.
-The Prince's Keeper. A witchy mystery romance story with lovable characters and cute/funny cat scenes.

Noch was:

Oh und bezüglich dieser "dunkle Seite" die die beiden haben aus dem Klappentext. Das sind einfach ganz normale Charakterzüge, die man halt normalerweise eher für sich behält, vor allem wenn man nicht als "schwierig" gelten will, nur weil man seine Meinung sagt.
Hat was von People Pleasing. Man möchte es einfach allen recht machen und ohne Schwierigkeiten seinen Alltag bestreiten.
In der Geschichte sieht man jeden Charakter mit einer "dunklen Seite", bei manchen ist es nur weniger offensichtlich (nur durch die Mimik erkennbar)

Fall in Love You False Angels Vol. 5 💗 I loved it! Toki not confessing his feelings for Otogi is stressing me out tho😅 Otogi's grandma is the cutest & I like that we get to see more of Benio in this volume. I'm also eager to know more about Gen and his visit to the graveyard. I need Vol.6 ASAP!

When I Became a Commoner They Broke Off Our Engagement Vol. 6 ❤️ Reading this manga is so much fun and Anna has quickly became one of my favorite protagonists! The story is entering its final arc and I saw the 8th volume was already put up for pre-order in Japan. I hope we get about 10 volumes🤞🏻

Colette (Colette decides to die) ❤️ She's strong-willed and has so much empathy for others and I like how she's her own person. She has her own goals and her personal journey is as big of a plot as her romance with Hades. She gets the best of both world. I'm really bad at explaining sorry😅
