Library

Page for holding stuff like books and comics in summary, no heavy notes like the medium pages for shows and movies. A few have been moved to pages of their respective genres and eventually I'll likely break this up more to properly further reflect interests. Right now though it's looking a little empty again...

Shonen jump app is where I should be reading manga if not in like, a library or bookstore, but most of my manga was from mangadex which went flushed down the toilet so I guess I should start looking into means to read untranslated and the publisher shut down manga in a more legal way. Yeah, I’ll let you know when that realistically happens.

Readings in Consideration: Animorphs Revisit, more Comics I bought, collection of random ass PDFs I have scattered on devices. Poetry works, Mythology, Horror stories.

50 tea recipes... I’ve been reading through the duchess 50 tea recipes I like those types of stories when they have their own little thing going on and this one’s nice but it’s kinda weird how a lot of these replacement stories basically have the person outright get replaced by the reincarnator It’s been like that for every story, why’s this one bug me so much? Idk, the MC prior to getting a migrator was a doormat figure and now it’s like “we like your new version better” Isekai’s are an existential horror.
Anyways, tea is pretty good, this one’s kinda trope-y with the whole like duchess party thing and the financial management and whatnot but it’s still a nice time.
Ghost Sweeper Mikami (Watching/Reading)

ghost sweeper mikami: manga and animated episodes (through the toei youtube). I mostly did more manga hence why it's in the library. Sometimes you just get random anime episodes in your recommends like what happened with me and the entire lucky Star in English dub thing
what if there was a woman who could banish ghosts but she wanted more money and what if the ghosts were causing real estate issues now that's a premise the execution of japanese exorcisms but in modern day is a timeless sort of thing It’s scenario to scenario these are the kind of media where I'm like "man, get the cowardly teenager out of here, he's gooning too hard" because the common trope of average teenage young boy hanging out and being a little perv is a tired trope. It is a little funny seeing him be a simp and be comedically punished for it. His goon levels are immeasurable. She really robbed a bank with ghosts She is what we would call… the modern day girlboss. You go get that money. The fan translation has other manga advertising it… I remember when that was a thing for KH2… that’s no longer a thing for later scans. Feels like in in a manga multiverse, why is Sasuke here now for an ad. A vampire is fighting a clown.
Official companies having their shows up like Toei with Ghost Sweeper and the nozomi entertainment selection is pretty good for cheapstakes like me I'll probably check out nozomi next

I like cooking manga and the Isekai thing is kinda just like now they use magic ingredients and stuff Kinda funny they accidentally transported the whole house The whole priestess doing the main quest could be a story onto itself, but this is more about the person that stays behind… These types of manga always want me to eat a lot of different types of food…too bad I have no cooking skills. The extended cast being like the dog and fairy queen are nice when they pop in infrequently. And the twist of the chosen one is like a 50-50 chance depending on the story, which I seem to have predicted. The conflict of “will they go home or not” is also one. Normally that’s not there, huh, they’re usually just stuck. The rest of it is within the web novel itself. I’ve been looking into other works by the author artist combo but it seems like it’s not really what I’m looking for, I kinda wanted more cooking stuff. There’s the one on the haunted bookstore, but that translation seems dead in the water.
Theres a lot of old collages of manga I used to read on my pillowfort mostly based on recommends and like the top rated ones on mangadex, I might reread them and give like notes and thoughts.
Usually if they’re brain dead I read through them just fine because like I’m not here to go with full literary analysis, but there’s some that have plot points I kinda am iffy on— mostly the ones with romantic pursuits when it turns out the person still has their entire memory from their past life. It’s one of those ones where it’s a logistics nightmare if they bring it up. The other one is the slave trade thing but that’s because it normally sucks because the Isekai guy just purchases his girlfriend from the trade and it’s never brought up about how much it sucks. Like if you have one in your story it better be about how the protagonist is going to destroy it, eh? I’d rather have that.
I don’t think I’m talking about every single manga I’ve ever read or will read here tbh Maybe I’ll get back into reading the going home club one but like, when I read manga, it’s kinda just like a pastime instead of huge analysis Maybe I oughta get back into just reading like a book through Serialreader or something

Make your Art

Read through Make your art no matter what I thought it would be more of a motivation tool but it ended up being a list of things people have revolving around their art in a professional sense rather than my hobby based thing. I should probably just suck it up and just start drawing again or revamp my goal list so I stop meandering and complaining about not writing or drawing instead of actually just writing and drawing. I mean, I am still looking for templates to host my writing here instead of being like “directory of my writing that takes you off the site!"

Turns out I kept some screenshots of relevant stuff so I’m reupdating this part a bit - carry a small notebook for a week in which you record how you spend time, like from waking up, to leaving the bed, to going to bed, and going to sleep, in increments of 15 minutes - Find how you can change the week - Put down your phone - Do warm ups with practice instead of diving in - Ask for help with stuff - Don’t be afraid or else you’ll never start - Do it scared

Based on my one MZDS reading, I've been looking into reading translated novels but so far the only thing I've gotten to is WuxiaWorld and I don't like how it follows the webtoons/tapas model of "pay me to read more." Not gonna remember to re-login to read, bud. Where do I start with this though, I’d love for like a beginner book to the genre because a lot of them reference something that in bot sure I know yet like, a base story that the rest follow.

Villaness Manga

The holy grail of Eris
Nodding my head wisely and sagely. girlboss villainesses . An average plain type of girl tries to solve the murder conspiracy of the villainess who is also a ghost.
I see you, Aizawa Chan! Forbidden ghost lovers? Horror? The author’s art style clearly being influenced by sailor moon? I have no clue how I got here but I’m gonna keep going with it.
The one within the villaness Nodding my head wisely and sagely. Girlboss villainesses. Really is kind of bizzare how much the otome visual novel genre is centric to these types of stories but here it’s basically executed in that the heroine type was so empty headed that she didn’t even balance out the aspect of the RPG part of the game because she was too busy looking at the boys.

Mangadex Ones I was reading these before things went to hell on the site with the DMCA explosion so who knows if I’ll ever get back to them… Yakuza reincarnation Bard Loen Isekai Gohan Our lives after the apocalypse Iruma Kun Sleepy Princess Holy grail of eris Losing heroines
