Part of the reason I've been busy is that Colossal Con was this weekend! I had fun listening in on panels and walked away with a lot of cool stuff. I'm excited to get my hands on Bean Counter proper and the start for a few new manga. Even thrifted volume 1 of This is not Fiction!

Picture of Luma's colossal con comic haul.

Left to right is Volume 1 of Signs of Affection, volumes 1 through 5 of The Other World's Books depend on the Bean Counter, Volume 1 of Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon, and Volume 1 of This is Not Fiction.

Seriously the TBR is ever growing. I added 73 entries to my Caliber hoard and they're all from the same Kodansha bundle. I'm not even done entering all those in. I do this to myself but the high of completing a comic and being able to share it is unmatched!

So was putting in my download copy of "Brood" by @boneyhag.bsky.social making sure it was properly sorted into my Caliber and the tag that got auto loaded in has me CACKLING. Fun little easter egg!

A screenshot of Brood by Boney entered into Caliber on metadata editing view. The tags list "A tentacular tryst".
