A Galaxy Next Door, Volume 1 by Gido Amagakure
5.0
giggling and kicking my feet in the air right now, this book is making me so happy it's embarassing 😭
this is the sweetest manga i've read in a long time, matter of fact this is so sweet that it gave me diabetes and i honestly don't think i'll be able to wait much longer to get the next book (Kodansha Comics pretty please, if you see this i'm begging you to give me the ARC of the second book, i've been a really good girl this year <3 )
now enough of me fangirling, let's get into the nitty-gritty : this book follows Ichiro Kuga, a young manga artist who lost his father and is left with his two younger siblings and unfortunately a very small inheritence.
[disclaimer : this book isn't centered around grief at all so if you have trouble with that topic, don't worry it's barely discussed and this is a really light-hearted book ! ]
instead of looking for another job to make a living, he decides to continue his job as manga artist since his first book sold pretty well and he got enough recognition to make it his main source of income ( talk about a #boyboss 😌 ) but the deadline is approaching and with no one to help, it seems almost impossible to complete everything in time ...
and here comes my wifey, Shiori Goshiki, the love of my life and the sweetest angel the earth had the privelege to welcome <3
she's an extremely talented assistant, even though it's the first time she has ever done that job, she's gifted, she's sweet and she's absolutely gorgeous to top it all off but ... she seems a bit strange at times like she doesn't really belong or almost like she doesn't even come from earth ...
now you have to read the book to figure out why !! ( don't throw tomatoes at me please i love you )
the art is absolutely amazing, it's flowing really well, the plot is a little excentric but that's super refreshing and fun and the characters are my little babies i love them so much and the way they're written don't make them feel one dimensional at all !
i would absolutely recommend it and i'll 100% be reading the next books !!
Thank you so much to Kodansha Comics and Netgalley for this ARC
