📚 Nach den Erkenntnissen aus dem letzten Band von , nimmt Teru Abschied von ihrer Schule. Das hat etwas endgültiges und es fühlt sich dann irritierend an, als Teru in ihrer Heimat alltäglichen Dingen nachgeht. Es ergibt mit den Erklärungen Sinn, fühlte sich allerdings kurz wie ein Bruch der Dramatik an. 😆

Mit ihrem Opa wird das Vergessen ein Thema und Haltia hat ihren Auftritt. Wie sie zwischen Rote Hand und Grünen Daumen wechselt, ist interessant.

Cover zu Band 24 von SHY. Dargestellt sind Shy und Iko, die einander an an der Hand festhalten.

press cave you in memories

what's a piece of media/fiction where when it was good it was So Good in a way that's hard to explain in retrospect to people who weren't experiencing it linearly because it never ended up fulfilling its promise. Not that it necessarily has to end up being bad but that it never reached or paid off that high again.

(Game of Thrones I imagine to a lot of people is one, as an example)

It's odd that I get confused if I've watched an episode already because I've read the / before. But I don't if it's a live-action adaptation. 😅 Have you experienced something similar?

Sawyer’s Reading Log, 2025

This is my first Reading Log.

One nice thing about writing these end-of-year lists is I get to decide if the ways I’ve used to track a medium actually work. This year, I can say I’ve been disappointed by every single book-tracking method I’ve tried. I tried using Notion, Goodreads, Fable, and Storygraph. Each one has annoyances than make them not very fun to use. For 2026, I’ve decided to return to pen and paper, specifically with a little journal I bought in Japan called “Whisky & Reading Time.” We’ll see if that works any better.

Books read in 2025

上伊那ぼたん、酔へる姿は百合の花
actually had started reading it when it came out but dropped it; but recent talk of it made me give it another chance and liked it a lot now

明日ちゃんのセーラー服
i feel like this is cheating because I read it all up to day only very recently

僕らのアイは気持ち悪い
after the very wholesome kaketa tsuki to donuts and onnatomodachi to kekkon shitemita, a series where everyone is fucked up

オカワリいただけただろうか？
from U-temo I liked the designs but not so much their previous works, but this one is neat

1×1/2-イチトニブンノイチ
would be perfect if the remake came out faster

now that the year is (somewhat close to) ending, decided to make a list of my current top 10 of ongoing yuri manga (not really in order)

拝啓、在りし日に咲く花たちへ
this is one actually my top, cute MC and a high school story that already got multiple twists in less than 2 volumes

ひとりみです
decided to try it because of morishima akiko, pretty good series with seniors

私を喰べたい、ひとでなし
this probably needs not much presentation at the moment

かいじゅう色の島
has a setting somewhat reminiscent of watatabe though the story itself is completely different. point against is that it comes out very slowly

あくまであまい私の彼女
yatosaki haru is one of my favorite authors, and this manga is very cute

what's your favourite or some of your favourite "Han Solo comes back" moment in fiction?

i.e. that moment where a character shows up to help when the protagonists don't expect it?

I admit to being a sucker for these moments even if I see them coming a mile away.
