Spooky Season read for the day: Divine Incursions v2! This series is about creepy gods causing havoc in small towns - and the Divine Incursion investigators who try to help.

Divine Incursions, Vol. 2 cover shows a gray-haired man in a black coat and a young woman with a ponytail eating an ice pop, both standing on a seaside walkway. A giant pink, many-mouthed head looms over them and a mermaid-like tail rises from the waves.

Screenshot of the ComicsPlus reader showing the opening spread of Chapter 3, “The God of Immortal Dreams (Part 2),” of the manga Divine Incursions. A gray-haired man and a ponytailed woman in black coats walk past gravestones beside a tall stone retaining wall. Speech bubbles above them read, “You definitely belong in this division, Miyaki...”, “...but it would still be kind of cool, don’t you think?” and “I know it would be scary if that happened for real...”

My other Spooky Season read today was Hinatsugimura, a one-and-done horror romp about a demonic village on a mountain, and the beautiful girl at the centre of i. Cover is beautiful, but wasnt much impressed with the comic overall. Fairly harmless if you want something short to try.

Cover of the manga Hinatsugimura by Aki Shimizu. A pale, long-haired figure with glowing amber eyes and a solemn expression stands against a black background, wearing a white kimono-style robe spotted with blood. Behind the figure's head, flowers and small pale hands reach out from the darkness.

Last 2 physical volumes done💪 This series is soooooooo good, and ABSOLUTELY spot on for Spooky Season. Will continue reading tomorrow via @comicsplus.bsky.social

A hand holds up volumes 6 and 7 of the manga The Summer Hikaru Died by Mokumokuren. Volume 6 has a purple cover showing a buzz-cut boy with a bandaged face and his arm in a sling, mouth open in alarm. Volume 7 has a black cover showing a blond man in tinted sunglasses and a rumpled, stained white shirt, smirking with one hand in his pocket and a cigarette in the other.

And done with these too!! Really aiming to catch up tonight🎐 Its still only spring here, but today's sunshine really suited the mood on this one too.

A hand holds up volumes 4 and 5 of the manga The Summer Hikaru Died by Mokumokuren. Volume 4 has an orange cover showing a laughing woman with a low ponytail, one hand at her head and a framed photo held to her chest. Volume 5 has a purple cover showing a young man in a baseball cap and T-shirt with a bag strap across his chest, looking out with a tense expression.

Spooky Season reads Part 2! Wanting to catch up on this series via the volumes I have in the collection + chapters on Comics Plus, before the manga ends this month!!

A hand holds up volumes 2 and 3 of the manga The Summer Hikaru Died by Mokumokuren. Volume 2 has a light blue cover showing a schoolboy with a backpack, seen from behind and looking over his shoulder. Volume 3 has a yellow cover showing a smiling, short-haired girl in a sailor-style uniform.

Starting Spooky Season with Vol 1 of the Hell is Dark with No Flowers light novel. Very reminiscent of Phantom Tales of the Night and Ass. Prof. Akira Takatsuki, which I both enjoy BUT certainly not for everyone. The trigger warnings on this one are STRONG. Perhaps unsurprising with the premise.

Front cover of Hell is Dark with No Flowers light novel 1. Features a young man with straight black hair, sitting on a antique-style western chair and wearing a grey kimono with white peonies across the left shoulder and lower gem. A Nue monster with a monkey's face, tigers claws and snake tail is superimposed in a ghostly way in one corner - with its clawed paw and tail directly overlaying the man.

Hi Skeeter-verse, hope alls been well! Updates on my end: life continues to be hectic (still negotiating that pay rise), but at least I'm on my first international trip post-COVID. Visiting Thailand for a family wedding, and decided to extend our time away.

Hi all, long time no skeet. Been very quiet on here due to RL stuff; mainly organising & delivering a major milestone event for work. NOW, I'm about to start negotiating my role & salary to reflect that...wish me luck!

Nan Chan 1. First danmei from Rosemei I've bought. I've heard great things about this one, so I look forward to starting it.

Medalist 3 is the first volume of this WONDERFUL sports series I waited for print to read! Highly recommend if you like sports stuff, spunky female protagonists, and good mentors.

The Golden Manhwa collection from Aloha Comics. I haven't actually read any of these since getting them, but supporting the newish publisher via Kickstarter meant I was able to get the full spectrum all at once.

My Dress Up Darling 12 continues to be sweet and funny. This volume focuses on Christmas, but also more importantly, the dissatisfaction of artists striving towards their expectations when creating. I especially liked the underwear discussion lol (not as sketchy as it sounds, I promise!!)

Simply Gee @simplygee.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Cherry Magic 12 continues to be a fun romcom, now exploring the dynamic of our couple after tying the knot. Also a larger focus on the side couple as they slowly try to start their relationship properly.

Final volume of Tokyo These Days, a love letter to the manga industry from Taiyo Matsumoto, which doesn't shy away from the isolation, cynicism and dejection of creating manga
