pick365 Days to the Wedding, volume 1
The two work at a travel agency and may be transferred to a branch in Russia! So, they decide to fake an engagement to avoid it.
The anime version was pretty funny and cute. In it, the new branch would be in Alaska rather than Russia. This change must‘ve been for better optics 😆
Still, I enjoyed the anime story enough to add the manga collection as well 👍🏼

pickParallel World Pharmacy, volume 1
I‘m a pharmacist and a manga nerd, so how can I NOT add this series to my collection 😆😆 I actually watched the anime a while back and enjoyed it. Ended up purchasing the manga series during Black Friday booksale👍🏼
Anyways, this volume introduced us to an overworked pharmacist who died and reincarnated into a magic wielding pharmacist in another world. It‘s great 😊

pickHell‘s Paradise, vol 10-13 (final)
I finished reading this series today and loved it! Action, humor, and character development! Definitely recommend it! ☺️
#manga
pickIce Guy and Cool Girl, volume 2
I enjoyed meeting several more of the coworkers, including a couple who are descendants of the fox and phoenix spirits ☺️ It‘s a fun volume.

Book package today ☺️
Got a fantasy book recommended by my brother, and my next installment of Saga.
But why is the fantasy paperback book the same size as the comic book volume? Paperbacks are commonly 1/3rd this size 🤔 This book is huge! 😆
Back home from visiting the family. Time to resume my readings ❤️📚☺️

I started reading and collecting manga long long ago. And I‘ve noticed how prices have increased over the decades. I pulled a few old volumes to compare. The cheapest in my collection was $7.95, but average back then was $8.99
(VIZ Media most affordable). VIZ Media is still most affordable with the cheapest at $9.99, and average at $11.99.
Fascinating 🧐

pickSakamoto Days, volumes 5-6
This is such a fun read (yes, it‘s violent). Readers get to see a more members of the Order in action and find out the identity of X/Slur!! Vol 6 ended with quite the cliffhanger so of course I had to order the next several volumes 😆👍

pickHell‘s Paradise, vol 4
Each volume gets better. Readers not only learn about the characters backstory (how they ended up imprisoned) but also information about the island and the beings that live there (tan and tao).
#manga #hellsparadise
Look what I found!!!
Anyone remember shopping at Borders bookstore??
Loved that place ❤️📚☺️
#borders #bookstore

MISSING:
Sex Criminals 3-4
Monstress 3
Lady Mechananika 3
Ascender 1
Wayward 3-4

pickKaiju No.8, volume 1
Sci-fi creature genre are not my usual reads, HOWEVER this series is awesome. I really enjoyed season 1 of the anime and knew I needed to add the series to my library. Why do I like it? First, the main character is a mid-aged adult (not typical adolescent). Secondly, it has humor!!! Not dark and brooding. Third, it‘s fun and I want more!!!!
#manga #kaijuno8
Today‘s arrival:
Marriage Toxin: vol 4 arrived before vol 3 because…why not 😆 Fun series to read 👍
365 Days to the Wedding: been enjoying the anime so decided to read and collect the manga as well!
I‘m the Grim Reaper: webtoon! Never read, but heard good things. Giving it a try ☺️

Hell‘s Paradise, volume 2

Witch Hat Atelier, volume 2:
The Knights Moralis? Dun, dun, duuuuuuun!!!
#manga #witchhatatelier
Way of the House Husband, volume 2 (from my TBR pile)
Such a simple and hilarious read! Also…I somehow have TWO copies of this volume??!! I‘m fuzzy as to how this happened 🤔 Most likely ordered twice without realizing, and then too lazy to return? Yes, most likely 🙄😆

Devils‘ Line, volume 5 (from my TBR pile)
Been a while since I last read this series 😆 Had to do a bit of recalling to catch myself up to the story. Will probably need to flip through some previous volumes later. Overall enjoyed this read. Nice seeing the main and side characters again. But that backstory in this volume….😭
#manga #devilsline #tbr
Witch Hat Atelier, vol 1
Decided to pull this one from my TBR pile and read it! I have SO been missing out! Should have read it a long time ago. Loving the artwork and story! Why did it take me so long to read it 😆 #manga #witchhatatelier
*sighs….
