Hope You're Happy, Lemon by Mizuki Kishikawa, so here we go. It's now on sale!
Kishikawa's style is really fun, and super busy at times, and I had a lot of fun trying to match it.

I have added fifty new movies to the Plex server; every Dexter series has also been added--I will continue to procrastinate watching it for years to come. I've finished replaying Peace Walker and am now replaying MGSV. I'm watching Twin Peaks again.

Not to get erm political but it is incredible how many people will immediately turn around from "the only good fascist is a dead one" the moment it really happens. Have some fucking conviction. Racist mass shooters cite a guy as an inspiration and now I'm supposed to feel sorry for him? Shut up.

Matt was a real one, legendary dude. I wish I'd spoken to him more, done more with him, let him know how much I respected him and everything he'd done--I don't think I ever got it across to him like I wish I had.

Read Adabana volume 1 today. Strong start to a story, and nice to know it's all wrapped up by the third volume. Heavy subject matter with intimate depictions of assault and murder. Non's art is fantastic, carrying on with her strengths in Harem Marriage. Can't wait for more.
