Tender by Beth Hetland
3.5
borrowed this on one of my library's apps b/c i couldn't sleep and needing something to help. i've been itching for good pregnancy horror and this has gotten the closest out of the things i've read lately. it could maybe have gone a bit deeper or pushed it a bit farther, but there's some gruesome shit in this that did make me flinch a bit. do not read if you have issues w/ animal cruelty, and maybe take it a bit cautiously if you have BFRBs as the MC seems to have both tricho- and dermatillomania and this is shown quite a bit throughout.
Fool Night, Vol. 3 by Kasumi Yasuda
5.0
I've been really impressed with this series, and this volume especially! it dives into aspects that I wasn't expecting (mostly political) esp after what happened in the last volume. there's almost always some interesting body horror at play, and this one gets pretty violent near the end. still, it manages to hit emotional beats well without sacrificing the tone of the entire thing. Kamiya feels like a much better written Denji from Chainsaw Man, and I've enjoyed this manga so far much more than I did that one (probably because women aren't constantly being sexualized for kicks the entire time, though this volume does have a random naked woman show up in one panel). i think horror and sci fi manga fans should def check this out, it's doing some cool stuff and I look forward to every volume that releases.
My Dear Detective: Mitsuko's Case Files, Volume 1 by Natsumi Ito
4.0
if I'm being honest, probably more like a 3.5, but that first story hit me hard enough that it earns that extra half star. this is cute and fun, the art is nice, and I do like Mitsuko quite a bit. the pace is a little rushed, and the way Saku falls in with her and is immediately infatuated made me roll my eyes a bit, but so far it's a minor aspect and I like the rest enough that I want to keep reading.
