Welcome to Litsy!

Wow!!! I read a lot this month!!! I also exploded my Goodreads challenge, but the year isn't over yet ;) So many books I'm looking forward to reading.

Two of the apprentices team up to take on the next test in their academic journey: get their chosen bird creature through an ancient stone tunnel. This absurdly beautiful and adorable manga took a bit of a Full Metal Alchemist turn in this volume. #Manga #Magic

These volumes 2 and 3 of this series didn't disappoint.
We follow the MC on his quest to become a kafna, a protector of books. I really enjoy how the author is building the world step by step through her series, just at the right dosage.
Again, it's a series that a lot of book lovers would love, because it's about books 📚

I think this manga, intended for young adult, will enchant any book lover.
Fantasy isn't usually my cup of tea, but it blends perfectly in this manga. I have the two other books in this series at home, so I most certainly will read them.

Mao Mao possibly finding a bestie matching her weird energy is everything right now 😂

I loved this even more than the first. Now that we know the characters and world, we get to see them suffer through adventures and learn more about their magic. Agott is growing on me, despite her moodiness. She's got a backstory I'm interested in learning. Loving all the action in each installment, and the cliffhanger endings!

I love Mushishi. Best anime to watch if you want good story telling and imaginative lore. Wish there had been more seasons. It‘s a peaceful and gently intense anime filled with characters you wish you could get to know personally.

Good reading month, with a lot of manga.
Still reading the Blue Period series. Even if some books are less interesting than others, I really enjoy following the journey of the main character through art school in Japan.
Why I love it so much? Because it shows you the actual struggle of artists, the self-doubt, the good and bad sides, with at moments, the main character hating art.

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 ;)

Ultraman, the defender of Tokyo, has been missing for decades. Teenager Shinjiro soon discovers that his father is the one who merged with ‘the being of light‘ to become Ultraman, when a new threat arises after many years of peace. He also learns that his penchant for never getting hurt is due to his parentage. Will he inherit the mantle of Earth's savior? Decent, but just the start of a more interesting story, I hope.
