This new mobile chrome redesign has been horrific. Just a useless selection of buttons taking up real estate and sure they reduce if you scroll one way,but I’m still on an iPhone SE. I have large bezels and not a lot of screen space to start with, never mind losing to navigation!

In a mad scramble to try and defeat the backlog of radio programs (it’s only sort of working…), I have basically been listening to My Dress-Up Darling, Tougen Anki and The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer’s shows on a loop… I am finally out of Tougen Anki at least 😅

I always look forward to reading new volumes of K-9, but a part of me also now looks forward to finding out what colour the spine will be! There’s been such a nice range of colours so far~

YP come on these aren’t the same… Also I guess that first anthology means vol 10 of the main series?

It’s important to reward yourself for accomplishing boring adult things like going to the doctors. Don’t think I’ve had Dorayaki before, was extremely nice. Frozen as well, I let it sit for 10-15 minutes and it was perfect in this warm weather~

Pile of new Square Enix manga turned up today, which is always very welcome. Especially when it contains new Tokyo Aliens!! Excited for the two new titles as well of course.

I appreciate this cover will speak to the mass market a lot more, but we have lost the (to me) way more visually interesting JP cover in the process.

There are a lot of shows / music entries missing that I think should have made it in over what we did get, but here's where I settled with my votes among what we do have. Quite tough for a couple of them!

Bookwalker’s page is region locked (as BL often are on the Japanese side), but CMAO also list it as BL cmoa.jp/title/228642/
