My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom is largely cozy isekai fantasy. Protagonist, a geeky gamer high schooler, dies/wakes up in the body of the antagonist of her favorite romance video game, and she has to avoid the bad outcomes for herself. Which she does mostly by being nice to everyone, and also clueless about the romance part. As in, noticing who is actually in love with whom. This almost active refusal to see what’s in front of her get annoying, […]

This was such a fun treat! I saw this on TikTok and then looked at it a couple of times at the bookstore until I couldn’t resist anymore and gave in. I’m glad I did because I really did enjoy this and am looking forward to the next three volumes. I like a complete series and this one is done and just needs to be translated and published over here. This was the first danmei novel I’ve read, but I knew about some of the […]

I got into grad school, hooray! It is such a relief and as a reward I went and bought myself a bunch more manga. I’ve been eyeing this series at the bookstore for a bit so I treated myself even if I think these are overpriced at $13 each for small volumes. We Swore to Meet in the Next Life and That’s When Things Got Weird! is an isekai style reincarnation romance. Princess Yuko and Harold the knight are in love but can’t be together […]
