My Summer Reading Debrief
While summer is’t officially over here in Aotearoa New Zealand, my PhD studies and the general populace’s back-to-work schedule give the feel of it being near its end. We have also had a wet summer at that too, so for those addicted to the sunshine and beach-going weather, it may have been a bit of…

Where Do My Preferences Lie?

I Read the First Five Volumes of Umi Sakurai’s A Man and His Cat
My next manga in progress is Umi Sakurai’s A Man and His Cat, and I have not stopped smiling since I started it. From the adorably peculiar Fukumaru to the kind and troubled Mr Kanda, the short episodes within this manga are so funny and sweet, I genuinely couldn’t stop smiling over how sappy it…

Wataru Nadatani’s Cat Gamer is Me, and I Need More
I love reading manga, not only because it is a fun medium for storytelling, but because it provides a much-needed break from the text-intensive novels I generally pick up. Yona of the Dawn is a manga I have been reading since maybe 2024, but I have long since passed the stage where I can get…
