Wrote a short review on Yankee & Caramelizer!
This story is oh so sweet~ I honestly like sweets-related stories a lot so I had fun reading.
Thanks to @yenpress.com and Edelweiss for the DRC.

I wrote a little review on Perfect Propose by Mayo Tsurukame. It's one of my favorite titles available on @futekiya.bsky.social, so I was really happy to see it get a print release!

Speaking of BL mangaka interviews, Kodansha did one with Jyanome for the Twilight out of Focus series a few months back. It doesn't seem like they were posted to Bluesky, so here are the links to them!

Wrote an early review for Deme Kingyobachi's My Instructor Won't Yield!! Since the license announcement, I've been interested in reading. It's a funny and cute story and I recommend it for sure!
Thanks to Kodansha and Net Galley for the DRC.
It'll be available Aug 19!

In today's blog post I talk about two digital manga publishers who have printed some of their licenses! They are Animate International (x.com/AnimateIntl) and @futekiya.bsky.social/@mangaplanet.bsky.social, which is also a platform.

I ended up updating the title to "A Quick Introduction to Chill Chill and the BL Awards"
I do hope this is a helpful intro to it, as I've mentioned Chill Chill in a few posts! I also link to posts for further reading from Renta!'s BLog, which goes more in depth

Perks of being a grad student is getting access to books from uni library + other schools in the consortium and being able to pick them up from the nearest school🙏🏽

animate USA has a survey out that they posted over on X/Twitter!
For those unfamiliar, animate as a whole is as a huge company, but they're mostly known as a retailer for anime, manga, etc. goods

I want to read more novels! With danmei and KR BL webnovels being licensed, imo there's a lot of potential for JPN BL novels... I also still need to read my 2nd and 3rd volumes of My Beautiful Man series
