    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?

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

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.
