pickExcellent graphic non-fiction about “comfort women“ (Japanese euphemism for “prostitute“ which refers to the victims of Japanese military sexual slavery during WW2)
Beautifully illustrated, this book offers the moving testimony of a comfort woman. The author also shares her thoughts, she draws herself during the interviews, during her research, which adds value, and also shows how politically this issue is still unresolved.
pickAncco made a name for herself in Korea when she started publishing diary comics in the early 2000s. The comics in this book, a collection of vignettes from/inspired by her life, meander through the highs and lows of adolescence, family, friendship, love, and the process of growing up. Render in start black and white art, the book offers a fascinating & intriguing look at contemporary life in Korea. An entertaining read.
pickA very fun read about a girl who just starts her freedom in college from a bad family situation only to seemingly fall into a video game with frequent possibilities of death. Beautiful art in this manhwa along with a fun story. 4.5⭐️
#mangamarch pick #2! Also #doublespin pick done.
After an unexpected death in the family it‘s been a stressful couple of weeks, but I want to just relax with a fun graphic novel or manhwa
I‘m behind on bullet journal and litsylove, so I‘m hoping to catch up this coming week!
so-soMy dogs expression is mine too. This is a very very dark horror manga about a man who stalks the cool guy he has a crush on and falls into a much much worse situation. It does do a job of giving you extreme dread throughout, but I can‘t say I liked it. 3.25⭐️

pickI fins I'm somewhat partial to Korean manga only because their manga are in full color which does honestly add to the reading experience. This was a cute story and I will definitely being looking for the next volume to see how this plays out. Very easy read and I can say I'm officially a fan of Japanese and Korean manga and this form of storytelling. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks
pickThis was a fun vampire read. I probably won'tbother with the next in the series but I was entertained whilst I read this one. This is a Korean Manga so it's a full cover graphic novel. #mangathemeread
pickThis is the series the popular Netflix show is based on. It's a lot of fun...a whole lot of ridiculous...but entertaining in the end. This is volume 1 in a series.
pickI adored this light novel series so I'm excited to now read the manga version. Full color graphic novel and the artwork is so pretty. Fast and easy read.
