    One Room of Happiness Vol. 1-11

    The amount of psychic damage I took from this series should b illegal. It’s so heartfelt, so intense at times, that I would put down the series and walk away. I cried at the end for Sachi and Mister. The first few chapters gives the reader a strong impression of this being a kidnapping yandere

  • Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga

    Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga

    It is rare that I remove books from my enormous pile. This series is one of them. “Why? What made this so terrible?” It’s a comedy manga that didn’t hit the funnybone. I have six volumes of this but I simply did not care for it. A variety of choices in the story made it

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
