OMG, the iconic Shoujo Manga "Beauty Pop" (a la the era of Ouran High School Host Club, Fruits Basket, or Kitchen Princess) is going to be releasing again in a new series. The nostalgia 🥰 The original series ran from 2003-2008?! Seems to be a digital only release.

At first the main character seems ordinary and tomboyish. Upon facing a team of boys who can be immensely patronizing towards the women that are the subjects of their skills as aspiring beauticians, she's able to knock them down a few pegs when she shows off her humble and unexpected skills and cause them to question their beliefs around beauty. Often, she showcases how you can bring out one's beauty by complementing what is already there and helping them find confidence, rather than trying to erase it based on assumed beauty standards.

📚 Ich habe mit der ersten Fortsetzung von angefangen.

Es knüpft nahtlos an die ersten beiden Bände an.
Taichi ist dabei, sich im Berufsleben einzufinden und der unterschiedliche Alltag von ihm und Kohei beginnt sich etwas zwischen sie zu drängen. Das fühlt sich sehr real an.
Daneben beschäftigt sich Kohei mit dem Gedanken, ganz gehörlos zu werden und trifft in diesem Zusammenhang auf Ryu.
Mal sehen, wie es weitergeht. 😊

Cover zu Band 1 von I hear the sunspot - Limit. Dargestellt sind Taichi und Kohei auf dem Dach eines Häuserblocks.

Re-Read - Your Lie in April, Volume 5

Volume 5 had some moments. I narrowed it down to two I wanted to discuss.

This is the first.

Kosei is on the piano and he's hearing his mother's voice in his head saying that "Solitude is [his] punishment."

It's chilling and the shading in this scene making it appear as though the shadows are enclosing him. You can really understand his feelings in this very moment.

Photograph of a black and white panel of the interior of Your Lie in April, Volume 5. The panel is focused on a teenage boy in a suit at a large, black grand piano with a faceless crowd behind him. There is darkness encroaching on the scene from either side. All capital letter text reads, "Solitude is your punishment."

📘 "The Promised Neverland" (vol 1-20) written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu

I've been chipping away at this all throughout April. It has been a long while since I've gotten so engrossed in a long manga series. At 20 volumes, with 181 chapters, this small team has created over 4000 pages in less than 7 years. Amazing for such good quality.

I really can't say much about this series without spoiling anything. The story starts off in an orphanage, where a few dozen kids are being raised for adoption by a single person called Mom. Every child gets adopted between the ages of 6 and 12, never to be seen or heard from again. Very suspicious...

What makes reading this so fun is the extremely high pace, the cliffhangers at the end of every chapter, the plot twists that also have their own plot twists -it's hard …

Book cover of the first volume of 'the promised neverland'. It's an illustration. A spiral staircase, in a warped, impossible perspective, is coming from down out of a building that looks like a library, and going upwards into the sky outside, with a grass field and a large building next to a forest. On the stairs children are climbing upwards. There is a focus on the three children that are closest to the viewer. A boy with white hair, a girl with red hair stretching her hand out the viewer as if to invite them, and a boy with black hair holding a book.
