    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.

  • 100 Ghost Stories That will Lead to My Own Death

    100 Ghost Stories That will Lead to My Own Death

    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.
