I will figure this out later. Art is by kurocavi.
The body forced me to be a potato yesterday and I am happy I did.
Felt bad that I had to cancel my classes but I was really out of it yesterday.

Part 2 of a double blog post update~
I talk about the reviews I got on my BL doujinshi from actual BL manga editors from publishers Homesha and Takeshobo .
It was super helpful and a great learning experience!

People at work have been telling me to slow down.
I want to slow down badly, tbh. I have been telling people to get me more sick so that I can slow down and finally devolve into a potato.

New Filipino BL comic!!! I’ve been anticipating this one for a while, and wow, the high school nostalgia hit me hard while reading lol. It’s an academic rivals-to-lovers story, available in both English and Tagalog, and the artist is planning monthly updates 🫶

Being Filipino feels extra special right now. Seeing Filipino creatives gaining international attention for their queer works makes my heart so full 🥹💞 This kind of representation truly matters to us. Here's to more in 2026!

Some things I love about NDL: being able to borrow weekly/monthly manga magazines.
It is one thing to do it for research (😘👌) It is another to see regular people just read the month's issue to update themselves without having to buy the series.

Closing these boxes are the closest I have to sending children out on a journey. Except these children are manga and doujinshi that I have cherished throughout this fieldwork, bottles of soy sauce, and my cast iron wok.

What a day. Just sealed box one. About to seal box 2. I know my friend would scold me as to how I did these all but teaching my classes on top of buying things from ikebukuro and kagurazaka while packing my box is the level of sidequests i did not imagine i'd be finishing today.

Whoops! Forgot the essay in question! It is here:
Damion Searls: ‘Nothing is untranslatable. Anything left untranslated is what you’ve decided doesn’t matter anyway’ | The Booker Prizes
In this extract from his book The Philosophy of Translation, the International Booker Prize-shortlisted translator explains how the boundaries of language are always permeable

Knew Ikoku Nikki was going to be good because the source material rules and the staff's good, but goddamn what an amazing first episode. So far brilliant structure to bypass pacing issues, direction that really understands the core of the series, and waaaay better animation than it'll get credit for
