My Boss's Kitten Volume 1 by Yumi Hisawa

Image
When it comes to Kodansha's Digital First campaign, I have found it to be a wonderful treasure trove of smutty manga. Their most recent Josei title, My Boss's Kitten, is the topic of today's conversation. Aya Fujisawa is a working adult in her mid twenties, who at the beginning of this volume, is left at the alter by her long time boyfriend. Not only that, but she now has to move out of the home they were supposed to be living in together after lovingly putting renovations into the home. Her job is the only thing she has going for her. Her team leader, Kamiya bluntly pointed this out to her when she comes back to work.  Aya is at her home for the evening, when someone enters her home.  She had been given until the end of the week to vacate, but the new owner already has keys. It just happens to be Kamiya, her boss at work. Due to the late hour, he offers to let her stay for that night, and until she can find another place on her own. He teases her that if she were ...

I have a manga love, and that is Shoujo manga!

THE ANCIENT MAGUS BRIDE VOL. 11 by Kore Yamazaki

Image
Ok friends, for those who don't follow my Youtube channel, you should know that this is one of my favorite currently publishing series right now, and I tend to do deep dives on these volumes.  If you have not read any of the series, I recommend trying it out!  We started a new story arc at vol 10.  I did a deep dive on that volume in a video, which you can watch here ! SPOILER WARNING IN EFFECT! WE ARE DIVING INTO VOLUME 11! Volume 10 left us on a cliff hanger in regards to the church. Someone is trying to remove Simon from being the person to watch over Elias and his doings in the area. Thankfully, no one outside of the one person sent really wants that, and they are quickly taken down. What we learn at this point is that there is a faction of the church that really doesn't want anything to do with our paranormal friends, and they are slowly trying to manipulate things so that they chase off all of the paranormals. (Not that this is grossly shortened an...

Should I continue Arakawa Under The Bridge?

Image
So, recently I was sent Arakawa Under the Bridge by a friend of mine.  I read the first volume, and I have some feelings about it... This particular series is a bit on the obscure side.  We have short, episodic chapters in the series, as well as a quirky plot.  In this story, we are following a man named Kou Ichinomiya. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his life decided for him.  He just had to live up to people's expectations, and never owe anyone anything. What he doesn't expect is being rescued by a woman who says she is from Venus, and to owe her something because of it. Nino, the woman in question, is homeless and lives under the bridge by choice. There she lives with a myriad of really crazy and cooky people. Kou tries to give her money, and she doesn't want it. All she wants is for him to teach her about love. Now, I read this a few weeks back, and I continue to randomly think about it when I let my mind wander, which makes me think I sh...
