Welcome to Litsy!

#wdncw Holiday edition. When in doubt add a dinosaur because let‘s be honest gingerbread houses never stay up. About 2 weeks till Christmas & I‘m no where near ready. Luckily we had already planned to do less this Christmas.

This volume covers Umeko's surgery, a turn with the pterosaurs, and a visit to baby Benkei (who is no longer so baby!) in the lab. Once again, Suma's enthusiasm wins converts, despite initial friction...

Is there maaaaybe a hint of romance between Suma and Kaidou? I don't know if I hope for it!

Okay, just a first warning: this book includes a dinosaur having cancer (an osteosarcoma). That might be worth knowing since it does make it a tad less cosy to me.

Anyway, still a fun volume, but it's worth knowing. I liked the way Suma and that guy came to somewhat of an understanding but it still wasn't, like, warm liking.

There's another funny chapter opening image too.

I liked this volume a lot, though I kinda hope Suma doesn't immediately win over this guy too. 😅

Bahaha the Sherlock Holmes get-up!

Each volume is pretty similar because it's mostly "dinosaur has problem, solve it, dinosaur is happy", but I enjoy them all the same. This one had Pachycephalosaurs! I used to adore them as a kid. I didn't know we think maybe Dracorex was just a juvenile form, or that we have little skeletal evidence below the wrist for their anatomy.

This is super cute and I love the dinosaur consultant's commentary between chapters. The bit with baby Benkei is just aaaaah. 💙

This was the cute, fairly low-stakes manga I needed today, due to the loss of a pet (Hulk, for those who know us). I love the little fact files between chapters -- it's obviously aimed at kids, but I'm enough of a dinosaur nerd to enjoy it all the same.

Masaruuu. 💙
(That's the triceratops.)

Scary movies!
1. Jurassic Park - the dinosaurs in the kitchen 😳
2. Pan‘s Labyrinth - the best movie I‘ll never watch again 😱
3. Vertigo - classic suspense with great scenery 🌉

Thanks @dabbe for another great poll!
