Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts Volume 8

As always with a review of a volume in the middle of a series, 
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!


"...with each step I've taken... I've become proud of myself, bit by bit." -Saraphi

In this particular volume, we see character growth in 4 main players. Saraphi, Lante, Leo, and Ilya.

Saraphi shows that she is capable of protecting her guard when he is falsely accused because he is a Hyena. She also discovers that she is nervous to be reacquainted with Leo after a long period apart. After some friendly advice, she decides to dress up for their reunion. We will chat more about this when we talk about Leo.

Lante grows in his desire to protect Saraphi after she stands up for him. She believed him when he said he didn't do what he was accused of, and we got his back story as to why that was important to him. Lante then takes the next step in guarding Saraphi by talking with Leo, the King.

Leo, starts to feel jealous because he can't be the one at Saraphi's side all the time. He begins to envy Lante. When he sees Saraphi dressed up and in his bedchamber, he confesses this jealousy to her and opens up a dialogue about where they want their relationship to go. They begin to further things.

We haven't seen Ilya since Volume 3 when he leaves, still hating beastkind. In this volume, he is put in a situation that forces him to question everything, and he ends up opening up to a little bit of beastkind.

So excited for the next one. Still love this series forever and always.

An Incurable Case of Love Vol 1

AN INCURABLE CASE OF LOVE VOL 1 BY MAKI ENJOJI Thanks to my friends at Viz Media for sending me a copy for review! When I heard there was a new josei series coming to the Shojo Beat imprint of Viz Media, I could hardly contain my excitement!  Then, when I saw this cover, I KNEW I needed to try it out, and probably add it to my ever growing collection. Nanase Sakura witnessed a young doctor help an elderly woman when she was in her formative years.  This kind, handsome doctor showed her that she wanting to work in the medical field as a nurse assisting doctors like him. Over 5 years as she studies her butt off, she also thinks very fondly of the young doctor. She ends up with quite the crush on the doctor she remembers. When Sakura is reunited with the handsome doctor, Kairi Tendo, he makes a less than favorable impression.  A hard nose, rough around the edges person, he basically calls her stupid as soon as she is near him.  That happens to be ...

  *THIS POST WILL BE TALKING ABOUT SPOILERS FOR THE MANGA SERIES, DAYTIME SHOOTING STAR.  IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.     As you can see by this photo taken in the moment, I did literally put this volume of manga in a corner. This volume was mostly amazing, but the last chapter of this volume made me put it in here, and I want to talk about why.      We start off this volume with some exciting things.  We have Suzume showing up on the doorstep of Mamura, to finally give him her answer I was literally screaming once we got to the end of her monologue.     MY SHIP IS FINALLY STARTING TO OFFICIALLY SAIL!!! Mamura and Suzume finally begin their actual relationship, rather than their fake dating relationship.  With this, the two being the awkward behaviors of new relationships. Figuring out how to be around each other without constantly blushing. Though believe me, there is PLENTY of blushing in this volume....

HELLO 2020!!!

Hi Friends!  It has been a little while since I posted here on this blog.  I am sorry for my unintentional absence.  I am currently working on the look of this blog, as I still feel this is a work in progress.  In general with this blog, what I am hoping to do at a bare minimum is to check in on Sundays with a look at what I have read during the week. Of course I am hoping to have more content outside of that, but that is the minimum that I want to set for myself for now until I can better get into the swing of things.  The other thing I am hoping to better find with this blog is my writing voice.  I have felt for a while now, that as I write, it feels like anyone on this earth could have written it.  There isn't enough of myself in this at the moment, and I desperately want to see that change in the next little while.  If you are interested in some specific goals, feel free to click  here  to see a tour of my reading journal, a...
