so-soThis volume feels like a lot of filler to lead into a new arc, having to do with the Webster siblings.
Not bad setup considering that the last few volumes of Chise being at the college was leading up to this as well as all the new characters but it's starting to feel as a bit distracting from Chise and Elias' and their initial story which honestly I can't remember now.
Hopefully this all ties back in somehow to Chise.

so-soI liked the interaction between Chise and Alice since they got to the college and to see a known face again was a good thing considering that there are so many new characters and not all of them are properly introduced so trying to figure out who's who is becoming a mission but to see Alice again and have her confide in Chise about something as personal as her history shows how much Alice has come to rely and trust in her.

Congrats on your milestone @dabbe so glad to have you as part of this community ❤️
I grounded my mood board with a forest, because that's where I always turn for grounding. And took inspiration from the local beavers who are knocking things down to build something new, the bright and hopeful first flowers of Spring, the wise words of Bill Watterson, and a cursing horse. And always, always tea in my tired hands.

pickA beautifully illustrated exploration of a new marriage, trauma, desire, and life.
pickThis is the first Daredevil graphic I‘ve read. It seems a bit contrary a blind person can dive through a window as that will generally cripple or kill most able-bodied people.
Beyond that, may this be a the birth of a native-born Chinese undocumented immigrant? Coz that‘d be awesome.
The book did bring up the difficulties the undocumented have to deal with no matter how much they deserve to be citizens.
We definitely more of that message.
pickI read the first three volumes of The Girl from the Other Side. It‘s still early in the story, but I‘m intrigued and picked up the next three installments from my local library. The general plot involves a curse that is passed by touch and which turns typical humans into huge, dark, antelope-like creatures. Which would cool for death-metal bands, but the “insiders” seem to want to avoid such a transformation at all costs

Took a punt that a graphic novel called “Portugal“ might contain the word #Portugese, and I was right! #WickedWords @AsYouWish
Am I enjoying it? Not really. Angsty artist dude treats woman terribly because angst, travels to find himself.
Also, Lettering Hall of Shame, gold star edition.
