I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time
Bro, so, uh. This opening has absolutely no reason to go this hard. It legitimately looks better than the actual episodes. I. I admittedly. Have just sat and watched it a few times. The fuckin dinosaur and everything. Honestly, I really want to read the manga now because I. I want to see what else……

I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! Season 1
Harem Scale H: Yuke has a pretty solid sense of justice. That sense is shared by Clover (the party). A: Yuke is very aware of the fact that he is the only man in a party of women and brings it up repeatedly. He is actively trying to support the women and tries not to…

Ice Cream Man: Sundae Edition, Vol. 1
“I’ve literally never read anything like this ‘genre-defying’ sorta-anthology thing, but it’s f*cking awesome. The writing is strange and deeply unsettling, and the artwork is gorgeous. The new comic I most look forward to reading each month.” –Brian K. Vaughan, Saga Collecting the first twelve issues of the critically acclaimed, best-selling anthology comic ICE CREAM…

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…

100 Ghost Stories That will Lead to My Own Death Vol. 01
I am a sucker for ghost story anthologies like this. Some stories linger, some flop, and then you have the framework to wonder about as well. Also, sometimes fun art. The conceit is that a grade schooler, depressed and suicidal, was told about these 100 ghost stories. He’ll summon a real ghost if he manages…

I Found a Lost Hallway in a Dying Mall
Somewhere among the shuttered stores… Lisa hears a call for help. She finds her senile old coworker, Saswin, lost in an abandoned hallway. He’s talking to a circle of mannequins, their limbs twisted and fused in unnatural ways. When Lisa looks away, she swears the mannequins have moved… And that this abandoned hallway has grown…

The Substance
In the pursuit of youth and beauty, you rob yourself. That’s the most basic message in the Substance. The very least you can get from it. But we can expand on that, can’t we? The disposal of aging women in our society, the need to meet male standards for women’s beauty, the men in position…

Don’t Let the Forest In
*Once upon a time, Andrew had cut out his heart and given it to this boy, and he was very sure Thomas had no idea that Andrew would do anything for him. Protect him. Lie for him. Kill for him.* High school senior Andrew Perrault finds refuge in the twisted fairytales that he writes for…

Darlin’
This is a short werewolf story and gods, it’s gorgeous. The linework is nice, and the main characters are great. And finding out that there’s a greater story descended from this one??? AUTHOR’S NOTE:This comic functions as a spiritual (rather than canonical/chronological) predecessor to my current long-form comic, DARLIN’ AND HER OTHER NAMES. This original comic is a loose…

Stab the Rabbit
This book is just a way to alleviate some masculine violence, bro. I’m not joking. It’s got a few stories in it and it takes a juvenile delight in using slurs and doesn’t really have a care for being “politically correct”, as angry male comics would put it. They let you know right in the…
Trigger Warning: Body Horror
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.
