After listening to the Harry Potter full-cast audiobook while jogging these past few months,
finished them twice, all seven volumes, back-to-back,
I still haven't found another audiobook I want to listen to.

For some reason, I'm no longer interested in other Western fantasy books anymore,
and I absolutely can't listen to Japanese fantasy LNs with non-anime voices.

Now, my jogging time feels so empty.

Three days in a row, it started raining the exact second I finished my morning run.
It is as if God knew I was out there jogging and waited until I stepped inside the house before letting it drizzle.

Well, not three calendar days in a row. I skipped Friday, so three consecutive jogging days!

I noticed over the last few days that there seems to be a bug in the latest update section on the front page, which causes the list to not update correctly when compared to the latest updates page.

Or is it just me?

This manga is so infuriating.
Like, it's so stupid, but I can't exactly pass it off as unrealistic, because I've seen these kinds of people with my own two eyes.
The story itself is just the classic karma/comeuppance trope.
Something to read if you want to increase your blood pressure.

But what's interesting is, in the 2nd arc, it's like they tried to make the antagonist, the shitty person from the 1st arc as the protagonist.
That is new.

I already hate it when translators put unnecessary commentary on the page.
I mean, I appreciate your work, I can stomach it if it's like 1 or 2 in a chapter,
but when they're on every page, god forbid, every panel?
I'll just read the raws.

And now, there are translations that put new, nonexistent subtext into the panels.
There are no such quippy one-liners in the raws.

Is that even allowed?

I have no problem with swear words, I fucking swear all the fucking time.
But I do prefer little to a complete absence of present-day profanity in fantasy stories,
especially those modern lingo ones.
They certainly shatter my immersion.

I think I'm entering my dark joke delusion phase right now,

After imagining that dark twist on the wholesome yuri manga last week,
seeing the Blue Origin news, I can't help but have this dark thought about the 'aspiring astronaut girl' manga.

Imagine if the story ends with a literal bang.

I was already triggered last time after seeing 'Kingudamu' as the displayed title.
Now, seeing 'Kureimoa' has given me an extra headache.

But Berserk is still Berserk, Black Clover is still Black Clover.
Fairy Tail is Fairy Tail, and Monster is Monster.
I wonder what else is like this

Reading a nice cute wholesome one-shot. Everything is so happy and bubbly.

But can't help to keep the thought in the back of my head
"this is the right spot for one of them to die, and turn everything into chaos"

You've had a hot dog before.
How about a matcha hot dog?

Yeah, I know, it's not a hot dog. It's a cream sandwich.

Been trying out various protein bars at the convenience store every day.

Some taste very bland and dry, making them hard to swallow.
Some taste really sweet, making me wonder if they are protein bars or just candy?

Takes 3 extra clicks for a peasant like me to comment on a chapter.
Seems like my messages count won't increase anymore.

I just finished reading volume 1 of Mangaka, Ryoushi ni Naru (the entry isn't on MD yet).
The manga is quite unique, as it's essentially a semi-autobiographical/diary of the mangaka's experiences pursuing his new hobby as a hunter.

I found it quite interesting at first, until I checked out the mangaka's blog,
where he posted some of the photos he used as reference, including his game.

And uh... it made me feel... how should I put it... visceral?
Made me a little bit uncomfortable.
Kinda wish I hadn't seen it.

Since it's going to be cloudy throughout Golden Week,
it looks like I'll be spending the holiday just working out, doing cardio,
and building up my stamina in preparation for summer hike.

Initial impressions for Spring anime season: Lots of abrupt tonal shifts and 'off' feelings.

I understand the appeal of reading manga in omnibus format.
It allows you to read multiple volumes in one sitting uninterrupted.

But Hentai manga omnibus?
Do you really need that?
I didn't know it existed

It's rare for me to read a story that makes me want to see a good character die.

And it's not because the character is poorly written. Rather, it's because the setup, struggle, and character development are so incredibly well-crafted that they make me want to see how tragic it would be if that happened.

A good story needs a good death, you know.

Kinda want to make a "manga art update" thread
to show either art style evolution/difference between 1st vs final chapter,
or art corrections/updates between magazine vs volume version
