pickHappy to finally get the next volume from the library, full of the expected heartfelt moments and truly absurd humourous moments, with the unexpected gut punch of Mission 91, which really got me. Starting with an event for wounded veterans bringing a number of characters together, it got heavy and eloquent in a way that stunned me: turning an argument about who lost what in the war, who deserves respect and who should shut their mouth, 1/?
pickGotta love a series so zany to begin with that even the most off the wall bonus bits tacked on the end don't feel out of place.
Highlights for this volume:
Everything with the hamster
Denouement of the sauna episode
Completely oblivious misinterpretation of zombie motivations
pickI was hoping to post this yesterday to keep on track with my #100DayProject2025, but after I sprained my ankle🙄, my day kinda went off the rails. Anyway, this was a sweet story about a cat and a man, both in need of each other, and their early days together. I haven‘t read manga in a while and it took me a minute to get the hang of it again! But once I did, I really enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next in the series. 💜🐾 3/50
