Welcome to Litsy!

Giggles aplenty. 😁
Highlights from this volume include:
Woman huffing kitty cat, then adopting/absconding with the one in the cat cafe that reminds her of her husband
Medical professional critiquing the drama set up by Tatsu and Miku to entertain a kid in the hospital
Of COURSE, the continuing adventures surrounding a retired mob boss and his darling dog Pinky
Competitive haiku with the adorable father-in-law along for the ride

Soft pick - 3/5
This book contains mostly paintings of women holding things. Some of the text is purely descriptive, used to describe the paintings. But some poetry can also be found, always in relation to the paintings and to the concept of “holding things.“
Like all art and poetry books, some pieces are more appealing than others, or are resonating more than others with me. Hence the soft pick.

This volume is just as good as the first one. In this one, Duncan is still fighting monsters, very famous ones. While he is doing that, Merlin is helping the evil skeleton to find the items needed to destroy the while. Poor Galahad is changed and not for the better. Graphics are awesome and great story. Very bloody and violent. Looking forward to reading the rest in the series.

Here is my June wrap-up... A lot of books read, a lot of short books too.
I keep on with the manga series Blue Period, while some books are less interesting, the book 10 was good. I love how this manga shows how hard the creation process is. I'll definitely keep on reading this series till the end.
Also read a lot of children's books. I highly recommend Slow Down, interesting content and beautifully illustrated ;)

Absurd in a way that leaves me grinning.
Fave of this volume was of course dogs + mobsters episode.
Other highlights include:
Food that transports via sense memory people back to moments in their past that wreak emotional devastation in the most entertaining way possible
The flair with which house husband and nerd team up for the pursuit of prizes
Poor Masa repeatedly ending up that worse for wear thanks to the power couple's good intentions

Never heard neutering phrased quite like that...🤦🏼‍♂️

The Squish! ☺️

A lovely time, with just a sprinkle of bittersweetness among the flights of fancy. I enjoy the visual design choices, colours vibrant in memories and more muted in present, the pink standing out throughout, and the choice to make the story almost, but not completely, word free.

In this graphic novel, we follow Paul in his first experience as a counselor at a summer camp in the 1970s.
I haven't read the first book in the series, but it's really not a problem. This book is readable by itself.
Well done, with interesting themes: coming of age, first responsibilities, first love, self-confidence, etc.
