Went fully bald for the first time. Decided it was time to show the world the big ol’ noggin that has made hat shopping a bigger ordeal than it needs to be.

Akane-banashi just continues to stun me. Everything in this story is just wonderful. Deserves all the love. The two page spreads are always bangers. If you haven’t read Akane-banashi yet, you should. You are missing out on a beautiful story.

Akane-banashi continues to drop fire 2 page spreads. All of them telling a very different story.

I just did some playthrough of the Date Everything Demo. And holy heck I need June 17th to hurry up and get here. I had a couple favorite characters that have been officially announced, but after playing the demo I think I’ll have no choice but to fall in love with every single character.

I haven’t even started the demo of Date Everything! and I’m already freaking out excitedly! I’m nerding out as a big fan of some of these Actors, but I have a feeling this game will be leaving me a fan of a lot more actors!
AHHHHHH

Apocalypse Hotel is an absolute gem this season. It has that hint of serious moments of an Apocalyptic Earthen Future, and then it hits you with a little girl wielding a chainsaw. And this moment was after a scene so suspenseful that it was basically out of horror movie.

I’ve started reading the first book this afternoon. After reading the first chapter, I realized I’ll probably be a bit of mess but I’m not sure how much of a mess quite yet.

Bought all the Hunger Games books at least a decade too late. I’m either going to be an absolute mess reading through everything or absolutely fine.

The internet has spoiled enough for me to have an idea of what is going to happen, but I don’t know when it’ll come.

Uma Musume is seriously going to become my favorite sports anime. About half way through season 1 and loving every second. Also the fact that this show doesn’t have a dub is extremely disappointing.

Akane-banashi continually has some of the best panels.

This is the sleeper hit of this anime season. It has 4 episodes out right now, and it gets weirder/crazier with each episode.

And it’s so wholesome. I thought I was going to be left in tears after Ep 4. But if I’m not in tears at the end of one of the next 8 episodes I will be genuinely surprised.

Chapter 144 of Akane-banashi is out!
Got some questions answered to why she was in France. And now Akane is back in Japan. Really interested in seeing where the story goes from here!

Got this book of Rakugo Stories by @kristineohkubo.bsky.social today! I have her other books “Talking Rakugo Vol 1 and 2” on the way!

I can’t wait to devour every single page of every single book. I’m unbelievably excited!

The best and most difficult checkout in darts! 5!!!!

It went D1-1-D1. The first D1 was accidental, but I somehow recovered.

Also if you’re looking for other mediums about rakugo that are really great.

The anime “Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu” (I haven’t watched this show, but I’ve been told it’s good.)

The manga “Akane-banashi” is a must-read, and it’s one of my favorite manga ever.

If you are interested in any English Rakugo, anything from Katsura Sunshine is great. He posts a lot of shorts and TikToks. He has a show in New York at New World Stages.

Chapter 142 of Akane-banashi continues to add so much hype around Akane’s story. We got insight to what happened during the 3 year time skip, but the why to why Akane is in France has me at the edge of my seat. This is the first time skip that I’ve read that I think I’ll actually enjoy.

Current manga, anime, and light novel collection. I had to move my collection to a new home, so before the move I downsized. I decided to pivot my collection to series that I would make into a family heirloom(slight hyperbole, but not). Went from 72 books to 45.

I’m going to be as spoiler free as possible in this 🧵.

I just finished Vol. 13 of the #EightySix Light Novel series, and I am absolutely floored in the best way possible. This most recent book in my opinion is one of the best books out of this whole series.

Watched the new #LordofTheRings movie in theatres today. It was a solid watch. Art was nice, and the performances were good. The fight choreo was phenomenal. Story was fine. Overall, it was a solid 3.5/5 for me personally.

After watching I am incredibly compelled to watch/read other LoTR media.

I made sure to listen to #Zoltraak only when I went into battle. But I was just about right in what I’ve listened to, the #Frieren OST, a small assortment of musical theatre, and JP music.

Picked this up recently. So far I’m loving it, and I wish I found Thich Nhat Hanh a lot sooner. If there is anything this book is telling my soul, it is telling me I need to start practicing Zen. I think it would do me some good.

I’d like to say Frieren and I are extremely similar. I am just louder about most things in comparison to her chill demeanor.

But also the asexuality/aromanticism of Frieren and the other elves is extremely relatable, and hits close to my heart.

I swear. No matter how many times I read this manga, it always has me in my feels one way or another.

Akane-banashi is so much fun, and is an emotional rollercoaster.

If you’re an artist, this story will resonate with you.
