Post 25 books you read in 2025 that you recommend. One book per day for 25 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no expectations, just covers. 3/25

Cover for the manga “The Metalhead Next Door”. A blond man in a white and blue striped shirt is sitting at the left side of a dinner table. Across from him, a black haired man in a black shirt is sitting on the right side. They are sharing a meal together, with the blond man putting food into the black haired man’s bowl. In the background behind them, there is a bookshelf stocked with books and decor like a piggy bank, clock lamp, and speakers.

I'm not sure about the general party, but I think you recommended #TheMetalheadNextDoor to me, and I just finished it a little earlier today.

I really enjoyed it! So if my memory isn't failing, thank you for the recommendation! ❤️

In 2022 kocht ik op vakantie in Frankrijk een best wel schattige manga. Ruim twee jaar later is er ook eindelijk een Engelse vertaling. Ik ben fan en heb ooit gewerkt bij een uitgeverij die veel vertaalde, dus ik kon het niet laten om de twee eens naast elkaar te leggen. #TheMetalheadNextDoor #BL
