    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…

    Quality Assurance in Another World

    This was not what I expected it to be. I expected it to be a comedy isekai where someone is developing products and maybe each episode is a different product? No, I don’t research my animes before watching them. Here’s a trailer for yall: The anime ended up being more serious than I thought, but…

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.
