Look Back as a Koreeda film 🥹

Damn. DAMN!

A house with a satellite dish decorated with holiday lights in a snowy landscape. Text above and below reads, "Casa Con. December 12-14 2025."

My tears are ready.

Will always have a sentimental love for this series and the ways it helped me process my grief.

This really cemented my love for Yamashita Tomoko. 💕 I look forward to this title so much.

Lamenting about how to split myself on the 21st when I want to be in Comic City and Jump Festa at the same time.

Finally caught Kokuho last night and was floored. Damn. That is one beautiful film.

I am floored by No God in Eden. I guess that series is going in my box.

Manga’s First Century: How Creators and Fans Made Japanese Comics, 1905-1989 Andrea Horbinski’s new book Manga’s First Century: How Creators and Fans Made Japanese Comics, 1905-1989, explores the rise of manga as a disti...

This Friday at Berkeley! events.berkeley.edu/cjs/event/30...

While I write about the sociology of affect, I am driven by mad emotions to write a litany about why KyoSato is driving me insane and they occupy every emotion that I have.

Ignore me. I just bought new KyoSato dojinshi this week and I am now spiralling through a reread of the series.

Oooh yum!! I can smell it from here.

I've been thinking a lot about going back to my blog and how I can do it in ways that are meaningful to me and the people I wish to speak to.

Maybe it's best way for me to get out of doomscrolling.

I've met so many lovely people with my blog. Some of whom I still meet today and have a good laugh. Have 'whodathunk' moments because it was just a dream to have BL or manga at the core of our lives and then here we are.

I've been quite disillusioned with my ruined main twitter algorithm but today the algo threw me this kind of exodus where some BL fans are switching to blogs to get away from the toxicity of the TL.

That kind of brought me back to a period when I had fun with my blog, just yapping about manga.

Jump Festa Get!!!

I may be missing the Gintama stage but I will definitely catch Akanebanashi! 🥹

🤣🤣🤣 omg how far you have grown! You have exceeded me! All my flat breads are just flat and burned (Also why did I imagine you saying this with your fist by your open palm! And why did I unconsciously rub my non existent white beard! 🤣)

Haaaardly a maestro! Bread remains my greatest enemy! 😂

Oh wow! I have been dreaming of making arayes! This looks so good. You guys outdone yourself! With homemade pita too!! 🥹💕

Are you here already? WE MUST!!

Looks yum! 😊 Have a lovely day and year ahead, Wratty!!

Fuck it. It is my free day.

... Seriously, how much do I love karaokeiko to go to all the way to Tokorozawa!?!

It is easier to go to Kamata!

I feel my eyebrow twitch when I see journalists write "This replacement for MangaX" and in my head, how can MangaX be ever replaced? Let alone by a title from another magazine?

There is also a muay thai guy and in my head I was thinking Est Em was ahead of the game. And SOOO MANY MMA fighters too (been reading Jinx lately so I cannot unsee)

In a series where there is so much grappling! I am not watching this innocently

But dang that Turkish oil wrestler!

After reading BL until 2 am, I am not watching Physical Asia with a pure mind. 🙃

I spent like 7 hours playing Katamari yesterday and the rate in which I tried shit over and over again led me to think "I guess I should start playing silksong."

Being here makes me want to head to the nearest bookstore and get these titles. 🥹

When you think your job is fun as it is and then there are people called BL sommelier. I know these people are living the good life.
