mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 02/10/2026wow t/apas is shutting down… i wish they provided an earlier notice about when ink purchases ended so ppl could finish up any remaining stories 000
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 07/09/2026the experience u get as u get older rly does give u confidence, and i feel more relaxed than when i was younger and directionless will see how things go, but i think regardless of how things pan out, the mindset shift has been what i’ve needed. am glad that ive finally gotten there 011
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 07/09/2026it took a while, but i have a better idea of what direction i’d like to take my career, and it’s a rly great feeling to have 🥹 there’s work to be done, but i feel much better now that ik myself better (strengths, weaknesses, what brings fulfillment, etc) 120
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 05/09/2026always amuses me when authors randomly decide to give their side characters such fascinating careers and/or backstories 😆 010
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 17/08/2026if it interests u, i’d recc virche evermore: error salvation! the guys all have androgynous designs + most have long hair. the science in the story is out there lol, but the story was giving old shojo vibes w/ how dramatic and wild it all was. also felt the urge for poly ships too 😂 120
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 17/08/2026yahh i def think it’s worse nowadays… i’ve seen some bits and pieces of events that may have led to this, but it’s still too much and alienating. it’s a weird feeling to see this happen 1st to the the s/hojo community and then otome, that i’m starting to wonder if it points to a larger problem 010
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 16/08/2026i’m not up to date with the discourse but ive def felt similar weird tension it’s sort of reminiscent of some of the arguments ive seen surrounding s/hojo and b/l manga, but i feel like probably more magnified in otome games bc the medium is inherently romance centric (vs s/hojo) 111
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 22/07/2026my best ideas usually come at night and unfortunately that means i’ll probably be sleep deprived the next day 😅 010
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 16/07/2026i personally got used to it within a day! i like it bc it encourages more shoulder/arm movement bc of the way it’s shaped, which puts less strain on my wrist. if a possibility, might help to borrow one from someone and do a weekend test run to see how u feel! 010
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 16/07/2026my wrists were feeling off last month, and after a doctor visit, was told i likely have early symptoms of carpal tunnel 😩 how i feel varies day by day, but i think overall changing to a vertical mouse has definitely helped def encourage ppl invest in ergonomics when possible 100

mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026i’m glad u got the dvd then bc everything (including the manga volumes) seemed rly out of print ! this is my first time getting my hands on a complete physical release of this series in some shape/form…so happy 🥹 010

mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026omgg this is great news! i’ve been wanting this but didn’t think it would happen :,) 110
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 12/06/2026the eventual love triangle with mokuren complicates things, but it’s not the real heart of the issue 🌝 000
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 12/06/2026their rivalry ultimately stemming from them having mutual inferiority complexes toward each other. how despite all the clashing in the story, deep down they rly care for each other (esp shion lol) 120
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 11/06/2026thinking again about please save my earth, and how gyokuran and shion had such an intense, love-hate dynamic…they could make for amazing yaoi 110
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 11/06/2026been doing more journaling and planning lately, and wow it makes such a big difference in making sure i’m intentional about what i’m spending my time on. 010
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 26/05/2026yess feel free to when the time comes!! 010
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 25/05/2026when i was at jgarden i saw fujos bring these a4 plastic cases to store their doujins safely, and u bet i copied this method on my flight back and did the same thing during manga ichiba 🌝 172
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 24/05/2026i also want to mention that it’s worth getting even for the cat illustrations alone. i love how expressive the cats are and how they each have a distinct personality. definitely one of the stories where i was not surprised to find out the author indeed has a pet cat or 2 000
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 21/05/2026can i ask the name of the documentary series? thinking of maybe watching it one day 100
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 17/05/2026felt reminiscent of (early) kare kano with its focus on masking, authenticity, etc. when u think about how adults spend a lot of time at work, with the same ppl, at a place where there’s established hierarchy…there’s def overlap when it comes to navigating social situations lolol 100
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 16/05/2026so far it feels like a fun rom com that’s v relatable for the working adults (esp in the office) 😂 100
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 16/05/2026LRP i fell in love with the art when i first saw it, and also enjoyed the chapter preview on kodansha’s website! still waiting for my copy to come, but am super excited 😆 110

mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 13/05/2026ofc something to be used sparingly. but when u truly need it, it sure is powerful 020
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 13/05/2026never underestimate the power of ccing when following up with ppl. the cced person doesn’t even need to say anything at all. just their name, visibly included, is enough to finally get things moving 120

mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 24/04/2026it really can be so fun and is important to have in life i feel! i always appreciate when stories showcase varied relationships, bc i think they serve different purposes and make life feel fuller 010
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 24/04/2026i guess a better way to phrase this is that the relationship doesn’t need to be romantic for it to be important/meaningful i enjoy romance ofc, but platonic relationships and the like…they hit hard too :,)) 110
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 24/04/2026thinking about this again, and i rly appreciate when bl explores relationships between a man and a woman that’s not romantic, but still important and meaningful 110

mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 08/04/2026i’ve been busy so i haven’t had the chance to just yet, but i can’t wait to read my jgarden haul and yes i did look for the salaryman bl when i was there 🌝 010
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 08/04/2026i feel like i gotta make it a ritual to reread perfect propose at least once a yr, bc it makes for a good reminder to evaluate ur relationship with work every now and then 110
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 06/04/2026i think i’ve put in ~14hrs in nayuta’s route in blackish house side z and i think im only at the half way point given how 3 subplots are happening rn ppl were not kidding when they said this game is longer than the 1st lol 000
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 01/04/2026one of my fave sentaro moments. dont want to put too many screenshots so im stopping here, but the way the scene unfolds from here was so well done 000
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 01/04/2026***spoiler it did make me laugh that sentaro getting so sentimental over ririko had touma wondering if in actuality, HE was the 3rd wheel (kinda like a reverse of the original misunderstanding, which made it all even funnier) 100
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 01/04/2026wouldn’t exactly call what sentaro and ririko have as ‘friendship,’but it was more (bitter)sweet than what i had expected 100
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 31/03/2026i also had the chance to read the final volume of dysfunctional family theory, and mayo tsurukame does it again :,)) there is absolutely romance b/w the guys, but i was not expecting to be so invested in sentaro and ririko’s relationship too 100
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 31/03/2026it’s a great series so it’s nice to know it’s doing rly well. also appreciate the mangaka consistently putting loser/pathetic men as the male lead in her series…feeling represented i feel like we get more of these in bl (bonus pts when both guys r in that category lol), but not as much in shojo? 001
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 31/03/2026realizing i’ve been living under a rock b/c im only now realizing tamon’s b side is rly popular 110
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 17/02/2026i attached it there to spark some joy, and it even led to unexpected friendship…thank u yaoi gods 🙏 010
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 17/02/2026kind of wild that i now have an ani/manga co worker friend with overlapping interests, and it’s all started bc i hung bl key chains on my wallet 🥹 110
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 28/12/2025the last few otome games i got have such small text…my eyes 😭 000
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 25/12/2025and i also want to mention that while it’s taken time and effort, i actually don’t think it’s as bad as i thought it would be! once i found what works best for me, it rly was just getting consistent enough about it. and when i noticed progress, i naturally got more motivated too. 000
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 25/12/2025language learning isn’t easy, and i’ve def had to put in many hrs, but i’m rly glad to have gotten as far as i have. to be able to play games (and eventually more stuff!) that likely wont have official eng releases has been so rewarding. 100
mango-rolls.bsky.social @mango-rolls.bsky.social · 25/12/2025so glad i had the chance to go back to language learning again in the latter half of this yr. i’ve actually tried to read ayakashi gohan a few times in the past, but i think i’ve truly gotten to a point where it feels doable :,)). 100
