It may be the deeply annoying library syncing thing. I use Apple Music but have my own music on my device too and I have ground my teeth in frustration over it more than once

This tastes like the way the inside of a bottle of vitamins smells, and yet I’ve been wanting some, so I bought a bottle

I succumbed to the siren’s call of the gift shop at the big nature park in town

All that said, nobody ever directed me to the sex wheel before, which means I have been missing out on this one thing

I maybe possibly have too much going on with my keys. Maybe.

I picked up my finished pottery from the queer craft night back in March! 🥰

I didn’t think the Red River omnibus would be as surprisingly thin as it is, but I guess that’s how I churned through so much of it on the Viz app - shorter than I thought

I have to say, this manga did not end up going where I expected it to go based on volume 1 and I'm a bit curious why not (beyond the general expectation for bl to end happily, which has made many a story take a strange direction)

Sublime, I will love you so much if you license more of Hidebu Takahashi’s work - I did my part, I preordered both volumes!

And how many times has someone had similar conversations with you on the receiving end, sir??

*Withnail & I* fanart? Did not have manga Richard E Grant on my list of people I would see in an artbook

Ooh, I have this drawing as a postcard - love that Shinjuku Lucky Hole old man (“old man”)

Now after 10 years together, Meguru is officially a wife guy and can make a point of telling everyone how great HIS WIFE is while waxing poetic about Wako yet again

So challenging to be a fan of your own actual boyfriend when he shows up on tv

I am now tucked up at home with fourteen blankets, my new hoodie, and some hot chocolate 👍

Wait For Me at Udagawacho (hideyoshico)
mangaplanet.com/comic/64f998...

I had assumed that all I would ever get from hideyoshico in English would be the tiny handful of titles already licensed, so I was stoked to get this reluctant crossdresser manga on futekiya. Not for everyone, but it is for me

The Troublesome Guest of Sotomura Detective Agency (Sakae Kusama)
tokyopop.com/collections/...

I still can't believe that an English publisher decided to put out a Sakae Kusama title in print. It's a fun sexy read about a private investigator and his freeloader and it's *on my bookshelf*. Amazing.

The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter (Kazuki Irodori)
yenpress.com/series/the-o...

The accountant isekai bl has absolutely no right to be this consistently charming five volumes in, tackling every bit of cliche like it can be the funniest thing ever, and I am so glad it is

Old-Fashioned Cupcake (Sagan Sagan)
www.sublimemanga.com/old-fashione...

I avoided this manga for a long time because I thought "two men eating cake together" might be too cutesy a premise for me to stomach, but the character work truly made the whole thing (+ sequel) click for me. I'd love more

My Dearest Patrolman (Niyama)
www.sublimemanga.com/my-dearest-p...

I am also extra a sucker for stories about men in their 30s going "what are these feelings I have for this younger guy who seems to be flirting with me?", so My Dearest Patrolman scratches an itch but good. Please send me more!

The Metalhead Next Door (Mamita)
www.sublimemanga.com/read/manga/m...

I love a good "scary person turns out to be a shy sweetheart" story and Metalhead delivered that in spades along with a genuine affection for metal music. I'd really love the leads to meet the green yuri girls, tbh - same vibes
