The Herbalist and the Landlord
by
Bwillett
Honestly, I think this counts as a zine as well. Where did I even get this? It’s a mystery.* I ended up reading it more than once— literally I read it, then read it again, and then when I went to write about it, I read it agia . It’s a short 21 pager. The…

Alicia’s Diet Quest 1
by
Aoi Fujiwara
I don’t like this. Sigh. You’re joking. I’m dropping this. I got 1 and 2 as part of a Humble Bundle ages ago and I thought it would be about healthy eating and such but instead it’s just… making fun of a girl desperate to lose weight… a girl who is… skinny… Like, I got…

Clockwork Planet 1 – 3
by
Yuu Kamiya and Tsubaki Himana
Harem Scale H: MC will do anything for his clockwork, including the right thing. A: By volume three, he’s aware that he wants to collect more robot girls. R: He’s got a thing going with Ryuzu. E: It’s pretty middling on the fan service, and keeps it to double entendre and phrasing. M: I’m down…

ED Shachou to Bishonure Cinderella
by
Envy
Now that I have that out of my system— Okay, for real this time. The ML is a sad sack who can’t get it up until he meets shortstack sweaty girl MC. When he smells the delicious smell of her sweat, porno vision turns on and he goes batshit. This is hilarious. It’s so stupid.…

What Happened at the Hypnosis Massage Shop?
by
Neulhana
Eh, fuck it, I’ve been reviewing porn, just this one is the most obvious. It’s weird and contrived, like 99% of porn out there. But the art is pretty great! It’s silly in that… well. MC goes to a women-only massage parlor, meets the masseuse who does NOT hide his intentions even a little bit,…

When a Magician’s Pupil Smiles
by
Chisaki Kanai
It’s a really interesting concept— main character Ouka Namae doesn’t possess feelings… until he does, in which case, he is overcome with the insatiable desire to kill the one he finds dear to him. The first chapter introduces us to the concept, the second brings in the background with a traitor to magicians, and after…

Eldritch Lust #1
by
Thomas J Campbell, Time Mendees, and Zoe Burgess
Beautiful art. Boring porn. “But M! This is about fucking otherworldly beings!” Yeah, but some of it’s so vague, or hard to see, and you kind of… can’t enjoy it as much? Maybe it’s the person between the keyboard and the chair who is the problem? Listen— they led with the best one first, which…

The Nib: The Death Issue
by
Various Artists
It’s a wild subject to start on, and it addresses statistics, perspectives, and the current sciences surrounding death. The comics are insightful. Funny. Not always something I agree with, but it does open up more about what people are thinking about when they approach death. The sacredness of the act of dying, the fear of…

Beware the Villainess 2
by
Soda Ice and Berry (Adaptation)
A handsome prince declaring his undying love for you at a grand ball―it’s what every girl dreams of…but not Melissa Foddebrat! She knows that behind his charming smile, Ian is an insufferable, womanizing manchild. She is desperately searching for a way to dump him before he publicly announces their marriage. That’s when she spots a…

Lady Devil

PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. Finally. I finally finished this story. Once, eons ago, I started reading this while it was updating. It was one of those services where you need to unlock chapters with money each time so I (as usual) fell off the horse. Now I have finally read the whole…

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.
