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

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

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!

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)

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.

Old-Fashioned Cupcake (Sagan Sagan)

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

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!

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
