Cover debut! 📗 Gusts and Beats, Vol. 1: buff.ly/79mKsQY Nike has been able to see spirits for as long as she can remember, and they’re just a normal part of her life... but there’s nothing normal about how Nemo’s home is packed to the gills with a bunch of overexcited ghosts!!

I freshened up my keratin straightening treatment today and I forgot how bad the solution smells. 🤢 I also didn’t notice my hair had grown out quite a bit. I got it cut at the end of July. 🧍🏻‍♀️

The Delinquent and the Transfer Student was SO CUTE!!! I’m so happy to have found a feel-good comfort yuri read. Too bad the series is complete with 3 volumes because I want MORE! I also need to see Riri and Atsuko animated.

Note to self: Do not let car decals and stickers sit on your car for 5+ years. Not only will it take an hour to remove everything but then you're stuck with a rancid glue smell.

I read volumes 1-2 of Mars. This is my first time reading the series and I have to say that it was hard to push through at times. The portrayals of suicide and suicidal ideations left me feeling like I couldn’t breathe. This is not the best series to binge read, but the story is fascinating.

People get so damn bitter and mean with the recent Sanrio collabs with the American Red Cross and the LA County Library. I’m just glad a collab like that is getting people to go donate blood and sign up for a library card. The good deed doesn’t get devalued just because of Sanrio.

TikTok launched a “Protect your likeness” feature which is funny. This is the same app where reporting an impersonation account or someone literally stealing your content results in “no violation found.” I don’t really trust them to protect creators at all.

Whoa I’m logging on to see so many reshares from Brazilian manga fans. 🫪 Hello, I’m a manga fan who really dislikes when CEO’s try to get working people to invest after a business mistake they made. 🧍🏻‍♀️

Laura Neuzeth @lauraneuzeth.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

In what world does the Tokyopop CEO think that us readers have the means to invest in a company he cannot run?? Minimum investment is $500 and the platinum owner level requires a $12,500+ investment. I have to double-think which manga I buy a month because of the high cost of everything. 😭

Magica was truly a work of art! Incredible stories that taught you to appreciate life, nature, and the people around you. Some of the stories had a tragic ending, but it showed how fragile life can be. Hands down one of my favorite reads this whole year. It’s was incredible!

I really need to read something good today because otherwise my weekend reads were just meh (with the exception of Our Dining Table, that was great). Some of the artwork and world building in The Crow’s Ballad at Dawn was beautiful, but the story just didn’t do it for me.

I escaped the heat at a boba shop to read SHWD The Complete Yuri Collection which I checked out from the library. I was happy to see a dark yuri sci-fi with buff women, but the lack of character development and a side character stuck in a child’s body were such big turnoffs. 😖

Took advantage of the Barnes and Noble 25% off pre-order sale but then I found out that Fall In Love, You False Angels vol 6 won't be out until spring of next year. 😭 That volume just came out in Spanish in México. I hate how spread out shoujo releases are.

Catching up on Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite. The chapter where Viktor learns about what R-18 means and has to read the dirty fanfic that Queen Elizabeth wrote was so damn funny. 😭 All the freaking out about protecting Hina and she had already read the fanfic. Lmao

For Day 1 of the #MangaLoveChallenge from Laura Neuzeth, a little about me: I love samoyeds I’ve been watching anime for a long time (first 4kids like Yugioh, Pokémon, etc, and then more traditional anime in the early 2010s with staples like bleach, Shugo Chara, Ouran) and got into manga mid-2010s

For the BlueSky peeps. I posted this on TikTok, YouTube, & Instagram but we’re doing a little manga challenge. Anyone can participate however they want to (videos or picture posts), skip days, and go out of order. The goal is to get people to talk about the manga they enjoy and tackle their TBR.

Second Hand Sisters by Battan was so good. As usual, Battan’s beautiful artwork and complicated characters really stood out. This is messy, dramatic, and somehow I feel bad for each sister and also the husband.

Finished reading Daydream Darling Volume 1 and it was adorable. Iroha’s inability to express herself and seeking refuge with an imaginary version of Sou made me want to hug her. 😭💔 I really hope Io Sakisaka does more with her character development because Iroha really deserves it.

Another thing I loved about Otakon was how accessible the con seemed to be. The Manga Library didn’t have high shelves that con goers in wheelchairs couldn’t reach. The aisles were also really wide in the dealers room and art alley. I was impressed! Other cons can definitely learn from them.
