I took a few month hiatus from reading manga, and I guess I'm back. Read both volumes of the Passion of Gengoroh Tegame that I found at my local library was a great introduction back in, and I've got to say I'm a definitely a fan now (haven't read too much of his stuff previously except one volume of my brother's husband).


I am now currently reading Blame! and I really love this gritty world. It's heavily detailed, really neat stylization and this series is short, and the chapters don't usually contain much dialogue, so I'm sure I will devour it all very soon.


Well the earlier red flag notice has been over and I'm okay but there was definitely a fire nearby. The smoke was in the air and it was hard to breathe for a while, and everything feels gunky, but it was contained relatively quickly of which I am grateful for.


I've been working on worldbuilding a fantasy world entirely by scratch and it's still in a stage that's still too early to talk about, but anticipate that soon!
