A great read, I enjoyed every page. I love slow burn romance and cooking so I have bias with this book.
A little bit tense towards the end.
Some very creative ways the comic was made although I found some of the panels hard to navigate.
I will definitely read part 2.

A great collection of short stories.
I don't normally read manga and I treat it the medium like any other graphic novel. I loved these stories, they are bizarre yet unique. I will read his other works.
My favourite is Shikaku but please don't ask why lol.

An okay book.
It's a fan fiction of classic literature and not its just Pride and Prejudice. It has plot twists that just shook me.
It's good for what it is, a sapphic romance novel for teenagers and I enjoyed it.

A fun read. Mahalia has a lot of personality. The chaacters so diverse each character looks nothing like each other.
There is a few boring bits that I wanted to skip but there's a bit of tension towards the end.
This book is worth reading.
