About
This haul is a mix of purchases from a local store, an order from Amazon, and a gift from a friend.
The Apothecary Diaries, Vol. 9
I highly recommend this series. I can’t get enough of it. The review for this volume is already available, and you can use the index to find reviews for all of the volumes that came before it.
What is it?
A Chinese inspired historical mystery romance, mostly taking place inside the Inner Palace of the emperor’s consorts.
Fangs, vol. 1
I stumbled across this when the release was new. It got thrown onto my wishlist and forgotten for a while. The series only has two volumes at the moment, and I’m unsure if it will be getting any more than that.
What is it?
A vampire BL romance.
Kaiju No. 8, Vol. 1
A friend of mine had an extra copy, so this book was a gift. I don’t know much about it, but I’ve heard good things.
What is it?
Sounds like a sci-fi action series involving fighting off Kaiju. The description gives me Attack on Titan or Fire Force vibes.
My Hero Academia, Vol. 3
I mostly bought this to fill in a gap. My collection for this series is far behind current releases. I haven’t even started reading it. Before getting this volume, my collection only had one, two, and four. This series is not a priority for me. It’s long, and it has multiple spin-offs, so I’m not quite ready to delve into reading it. I plan on building a significant buffer before taking the plunge.
What is it?
An action manga themed around a school for super heroes, in a world where it’s normal for everyone to have a super power, except for a very minute portion of the population.
