Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve fallen behind my Goodreads reading goal, so to catch up I‘m finally picking up this series. Wish me luck, because the anime made me cry for about 13 hours. Emotional damage.

This was just the level of sugar-saturated fluff I was looking for. While grieving the end of yet another short-lived relationship, Riku manages to fall into what seems like a quick rebound with none other than the man who owns the cafe he works at. An appallingly adorable read. The author does a good job of allowing Riku the space he needs to grow and explore his own insecurities as he navigates this new relationship.

Why does this look like a #manga variation of the Arthur fist meme? 🤣

I started this series earlier today, and after reading two books, I immediately went to the library to nab the rest of the series. It's about a growing relationship between two male teens. One has a hearing impairment. As their friendship grows, so do romantic feelings. I'm such a sucker for the BL genre #fujoshi 🥰 With disability representation to boot, it's a definite win.

When Kyouhei moves from the countryside to the city for school, he is inexplicably afraid of city dwellers, including his rough-around-the-edges neighbor, who he finds himself drawn to. Not a standout manga, but enjoyable enough. Definitely humorous! #LGBTQIA

It's time to play review catch-up from when I was sick in March!
Childhood friends Yuuta and Ritsu have defined their relationship through team mate bonds for a long time. When their tenure as team mates ends, they have to work to redefine it. I thought this was a sweet, slow-paced manga with a lovely drawing style. #LGBTQIA

Used for #GottaCatchEmAll Farfetch'd: set in spring @PuddleJumper and #OwlHouseReadathon Willow: involves sports.

Definitely a fun gods and spirits read. I've been striking out a lot with Hoopla manga lately, so I wasn't optemistic for this one going in. There were a few things I wish had been developed a bit more like the suspicious glances between Shin's bully/friend and the god Shin looks after. #manga #lgbtqia

Two security agents who serve a family by protecting their petulant son navigate falling for each other. The style of this was a bit chaotic, and the story wasn't engaging for me for about 100 pages. I wouldn't say I disliked it, but it wasn't excellent. #Manga #LGBTQIA

GOD, this volume made me so angry!! v2 focused on Conflict and here it was homophobia. And the author does such a good job at carrying my son through these turbulent times T-T!! I'm so happy to see the friendships he's forged in v1 having his back, his own self-discovery, and yes, even some of the DESERVED violence. AND THAT CLIFFHANGER!! This author has done it again 👏👏 this author interweaves all the stories so well :) I'm excited for v3!!

This was so cute!! It's slower than what I like but honestly, I didn't mind. I loved the way we could see the character's mindsets change with every interaction. We get to see a first (?) love and the earnestness that comes w it, as well as the less fiery "it just happened" love, as well as the more platonic love with friendship. I'm really curious about the ending since it leaves on a cliffhanger #netgalleybacklog #joyousjanuary
