They have a side quest for you 🎃🌙✨
I feel like if someone were to post 7 completely insane but actually real Osamu Tezuka manga scenes mixed with 3 made-up ones, I would never hope to be able to guess which ones were the fakes.

(The twist would then be that all 10 were real, probably)
When you are kinkier than your partner
I liked the general story, but felt the jokes could've used some real punching up. Too many repeated gags... Especially that screaming goat! Why did this become a thing? What if a goat made a loud noise, some brave soul in Hollywood dared to ask, and everyone there's been ROFLing ever since.

Muppets Haunted Mansion (2021) — Standard Muppet fare that's squarely aimed for the kiddos and clearly greenlit to advertise Disney theme parks, but I guess there are worse ways to spend 55 minutes.
The "total failure" narrative for both Tron and Legacy were definitely exaggerated. Looks to be apt for Ares though. Still have yet to see it myself, so can't say if it's deserved. Opinions seem mixed, but that's nothing new for the franchise.

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Saw a post on tumblr that said “Think I need a motivational poster of one of Saejima's big soft cat-looking smiles that says: "Never let an unkind world make you an unkind person".” So I drew this 🖊️🦑

Have you ever seen the genuinely fantastic Japanese box art for this game? The package designer took a look at this funny skeleton with a guitar and went, "Hey that kinda reminds me of the Grateful Dead" and ran with it
It's an actually good shooter, give it a whirl

I'm thinking "Land" might be the most difficult manga to look up anything for
I appreciated this one for coming up with a third possibility for robots in stories:
a) robots want to destroy humanity ❌
b) robots want to become human ❌
c) robots want to live in the woods as hippies 👍
I've been pretty awful about reading manga this past year. I bought a bunch of random volume 1's a while back and barely touched them. And I've been meaning to catch up on some of my favorite series for a while. Alas, just busy or not in the mood. I'll make time eventually...
Well I finally got my Barnes and Noble order through. So soon I'll have the rest of the manga volumes for "Something's Wrong With Us" and I can finish reading that story. It's one I feel should've made a much bigger splash, esp. among the shoujo/josei crowd looking for something a bit more mature.
Cart now randomly changing the number of items in it with each click on the site, removing items sometimes works, and sometimes they show up again later.
And signing in via a private window doesn't work at all.
Oof. Think I'll try again tonight or tomorrow
Ugh, I think the site is borked. Wish I could just clear the shopping cart and start everything all over, but you have to remove things one at a time...
Ugh, for some reason Barnes and Noble made it so that there's 2 copies of every manga volume in my cart... Have to change each one to 1 one by one 🙃
Actually I remembered really liking the first volume of Color of the End, and it seems the second volume's out so I'll just pick that up.
Anyone have some recent single-volume manga releases they'd recommend? Trying to decide on a final manga to add to my Barnes and Noble cart for the buy one get one half off sale, and I'm at an odd number at the moment 🙃
