⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Versus: Volume 1” had me hooked from the very beginning, and the two big plot twists were well done and very interesting. The world-building was fantastic and I will absolutely be reading more volumes of this series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Immediate five stars just for the panda versions of the teddy demons, they deserve each and every one of those stars 🐼. Seriously though, this volume had a lot of heart and humor and I loved every second of it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I picked up “The Sunlit Man” as I was a fan of several of Sanderson‘s other secret projects/novels, however I found that this one was simply alright. I feel like I was already at a disadvantage as I haven‘t read Sanderson‘s main Cosmere books, so I probably didn‘t enjoy it as much as I potentially could have.

I went into “Daughter of Chaos” expecting an exciting Greek mythological retelling and was left very disappointed. This book is dark, depressing, and I got so fed up with the main character towards the end of the book that I called it quits. The character development was lacking and I have no desire to finish it, even though I‘m a handful of pages from the end.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

Can we just take a minute to discuss and appreciate how gorgeous this art is? The story itself is good, but the actual art is incredible. I will most definitely be picking up the next book in this series!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Volume 10 was intense and also gave us insight into Twilight‘s backstory for the first time. The development of Yor‘s unexpected new friend is intriguing and I‘m interested to see how that plot line plays out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Volume 4 was a tad less heartwarming compared to the previous three volumes of the series, however it was very action-packed and had a bit of a plot twist. I‘m very interested to see how the next book continues this cliffhanger!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I will never not love this series; five stars as usual 🥰

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Heaven‘s Design Team: Volume 1” has an interesting premise that I thought I would love, but it fell a little flat for me. I really like the concepts, art, and the characters, however the actual implementation was a touch boring. It‘s definitely a solid read though, and I might read the second volume in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Listen, part 1 had me ready to give this a 3.5-4 star read at max, but that MASSIVE plot twist had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The remainder of the book had me absolutely shook and the end came together neatly in a very satisfying way.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

Just as I wasn‘t a fan of Nightfall‘s plotting against Yor, I disliked Becky‘s attempted home-wrecking even more. This volume was still lots of fun, and the chapter focusing on Bond was definitely the best part of this book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The Otherwhere Post” was a fantasy mystery that also managed to be both cozy and enchanting. The characters and plot were wholesome, the world was well-developed and unique, and the bad guy was someone that I never saw coming or ever suspected. Also, Tristan‘s and Maeve‘s banter was highly entertaining, and their relationship was very heartwarming. I cannot recommend this book enough!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I feel like every time I go to sit down and read a book in this series, I end up devouring it all in one sitting. I‘m a big fan of this series so far and can‘t wait to read the next one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Each volume of this series never fails to make me laugh!

It‘s not necessarily a bad book, but it was taking me way too long to find the motivation to continue reading this book. I‘m calling it quits for now, but I may try to pick this one up again in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Volume 8 had me on the edge of my seat 😬. I can‘t wait to see how the cruise plotline wraps up in the next volume!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

It started off a little slow, but the first volume of “Fruits Basket” was interesting as it introduced each of the characters (and their related zodiac) and the story itself was surprisingly heartwarming. I plan on reading the next volume soon!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I thought “Powerless” was a solid start to this trilogy, and “Reckless” was an excellent sequel. Yes, there wasn‘t a lot of actual plot but the character development and relationship progression was *chef‘s kiss*. Also, the enemies-to-lovers romance did NOT disappoint and that ending had me internally screaming (thank goodness I already have the next book!). I can‘t wait to see how this series continues and finishes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

“The Maid‘s Secret” isn‘t a bad book, however it‘s definitely my least favorite of the trilogy. It was a tad depressing at times, but I understand how important it was to include Flora‘s history in relation to the current day plot. The book adds a lot of depth to several of the characters, but I still don‘t love it as much as I do the others. The book ends with a nice and satisfying conclusion so I appreciated that.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Volume 2 did not disappoint, and I‘m really enjoying all of the characters! Personal favorite now includes the student council president whose goal is to prove that Iruma is human…..by having him translate manga that she can‘t read and secretly loves in the form of “forbidden tomes”. I can‘t wait to see how Iruma‘s journey continues from here.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Full of misunderstandings and bad haircuts, volume 10 did not disappoint!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a nice little filler that takes place between “The Mystery Guest” and “The Maid‘s Secret”. It was nice to see these characters and the hotel around the holidays, and my only real complaint was the amount of times Juan Manuel‘s “bare/smooth chest” is mentioned.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

It was interesting to see a chapter from Damian‘s point of view, and it was sweet and heartwarming at the same time. I still can‘t stand Yuri but I‘m intrigued to see how the ship plot-line unfolds in the next volume!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn‘t love this one was much as I did with “Tress of the Emerald Sea”, however this story was very unique and interesting. The plot twists were ones that took me by surprise and made me further appreciate the world-building, plot, and its characters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My fiancée gave this manga to me after he finished reading it and I‘m so glad he recommended it. The story and characters are funny, endearing, and even a bit heartwarming. I‘m really enjoying Iruma‘s journey and I will absolutely be picking up the second volume of this series!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Between the demon beauty pageant and the princess attempting to treat the inner circle‘s hangovers, volume 9 had me laughing so hard I cried. Enough said.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don‘t appreciate Nightfall trying to be a home-wrecker, however the story was funny and entertaining! I‘m very interested to see how the next volume addresses that surprising ending.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really wanted to like it, but a lot of the humor and jokes went right over my head. Best part was the cat 🐈‍⬛

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m sad to have finally finished this series, however it was very well written and I will miss all of the characters very much. I only wish that the epilogue was a tad longer and that we could have gotten a few pages of the group finally meeting Chilchuck‘s family. Overall, I strongly recommend this series to anyone who wants a wacky and heartwarming read with superb writing and artwork.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*Sets down book and immediately picks up the next and final volume as fast as humanly possible*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Volume 8 had me laughing so hard that I was in literal tears. I adore this series and can‘t wait to read the next one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“A Harvest of Hearts” is a darker fantasy with gothic vibes and a sweet romance. It was a solid read, but I didn‘t absolutely love the writing and some of characters (excluding Cornelius as he is a precious cinnamon roll of a cat). Be warned as there is a small bit of gore that can be graphic at times throughout the book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can‘t stand Yuri, but volume five was as great as the previous ones! I‘m also not a fan of Nightfall, but I‘m intrigued to see how that plot line plays out. I definitely laughed out loud several times while reading this book and I look forward to the next one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

Volume one was simple and filled with humor, however there was a lot of jokes that I didn‘t get and therefore took away some of my enjoyment of the book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There is officially a new lord of the dungeon, and the drama and intensity is heating up! I enjoyed seeing the different storylines start tying together in this one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

I went in hoping that this would have heartwarming and cozy vibes like “The House in the Cerulean Sea”, “Under the Whispering Door”, and “In the Lives of Puppets”, and was left a bit disappointed. Yes, there is still that found-family trope and Artemis Darth Vader‘s humor that I loved, but this is a darker and more adult version of the previously mentioned books. I could have also done without the graphic sexual context as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Volume 7 of this series was full of laughs, a surprise “visit” to Princess Syalis‘ home, and the introduction of Syalis‘ mother, the Queen. We also see the beginnings of a low-key love triangle that I‘m intrigued to see how that plays out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Tress of the Emerald Sea” was a joy to read. It definitely lives up to the hype of having “Princess Bride” and “Stardust” vibes, while also having interesting world-building and a cozy story. The characters were lovable, and the character arcs themselves were wonderful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Greenteeth” was a charming read that started a bit slow until about the halfway mark. I enjoyed the ‘found family‘ trope and the mythology was a unique addition to the story.

⭐️⭐️

I tried to like “Soul Eater”, but the misogyny and abundance of fan service ruined it for me. The story is interesting but the art style is subpar. I hated every guy as they were obnoxious and gross, and the amount of female nudity and giant boobs was disgusting. The fact that there‘s portrayal of guys exposing their female partner‘s privates for leverage, and that another guy grabs two character‘s boobs to compare their sizes is horrifying.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I devoured volume four of “Spy x Family”. Between the assassination plot and the addition of a dog to this fake family, this book had me hooked until the very end. It did get a little dark at times (ex. mentions of war, animal experimentation), however all dogs had happy endings. I absolutely LOVE Bond and I can‘t wait to see more of him in future volumes!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Volume 11 was a rollercoaster that was full of twists and turns. I was not expecting that ending, and my only complaint was that there were spiders 🤢

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I still adore this series. Volume six is, as expected, full of shenanigans, heartwarming moments, humor, and (of course) teddy demons. I can‘t wait to read more of this series!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Blood Over Bright Haven” is a heavy yet timely read for the world that we currently live in. Wang does a great job writing flawed and morally gray characters with impressive character arcs by the end of the novel. Be warned as this book contains serious themes including but not limited to racism, sexism, slavery, and genocide.

⭐️⭐️

Pros: I liked the art style and the world/story was fascinating.

Cons: Riko was an annoying character that I had trouble liking. Most importantly was the depiction of the kids. These include punishments while they are naked, discussions about their genitals, and one character looks at another‘s privates while they are asleep. This apparently continues in every volume of this series, so I will not support it as this gives me pedo vibes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Things are getting INTENSE for Laios and the rest of the dungeon party! We get a little bit of a backstory with the lunatic magician, along with some heavy themes in this volume. Can‘t wait to start the next one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

I‘m really enjoying this series and its characters (minus Yor‘s brother for numerous reasons)! The possibility of this little family adding a pet dog into the mix has me excited for the next volume!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Give me all the teddy demons and eggplant seals (giant or not) 😍. This volume was hilarious and I enjoyed every minute of it! I can‘t wait to start on the next one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

Not gonna lie, my thoughts at the beginning of this book consisted of “what the hell am I reading right now?”. Once past the first chapter of the volume, I began to enjoy it a bit more and found it strange, but interesting. I didn‘t enjoy the suggestive parts as much (also what is with the grandma‘s appearance??) but I‘ll read the next one to see how the story continues.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m really enjoying seeing all of the different aspects of the story start to converge! In addition we start seeing another side of the Canaries and their captain which is very interesting. I look forward to reading the next volume!
