    (Abu)Normal Ch. 1-20

    I’m fascinated by this manga. Here we have Eiko Abu who studies the people around her with an intense fervor in order to become closer to what people would consider normal. It’s her hobby and what she strives to do in everything… however, only knowing the interpretation of normal from others, she doesn’t possess the

  • Would You Like to Be a Family

    Would You Like to Be a Family

    This is actually a collection of a couple stories, all of which are pretty cute one shots. I picked this one up because I’m a sucker for dark hair/dark eye mean lookin’ types. And family stuff. It’s cute. Look how petty he is. It’s so funny. That said, there are some, uh. Style drawbacks… In

    To Your Eternity 1-21

    I’ve always been somewhat in love with this series. And recently I’ve had the joy to get my digital collection up to date— for a long time I only had the ten volumes from a Humble Bundle—and since I was sick, I figured I would slam it back. And my god, did I weep exactly

  • Why Don’t You Eat Me, My Dear Wolf?

    Why Don’t You Eat Me, My Dear Wolf?

    I threw the smut tag on here but it’s not until the final chapter (thankfully). This is a really soft, gentle manga.

    Outbride: Beauty and the Beasts 1

    ISEKAI’D BY: Truck-Kun! Noel is endgame for me. That said, I totally think Mashiro reacts appropriately to being resurrected to be a breeder with four dudes, one of which tries to fuck her like, right away, until another one barges in and basically says, “that’s not fair, bro, we gotta talk about who gets her

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.
