Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake
5.0
if art is supposed to make you feel something, then this book is art in its purest form, for there is no emotion this book hasnât make me feel.
i will cherish this book with every fiber of my being for the rest of my life and i want it engraved upon my heart. call it insanity, i call it common sense because in which universe would someone not be completely bewitched by this masterpiece ?
i know this might sound awfully selfish, but if i could, i would keep this book to myself forever and ever and never let anyone approach it. it is so dear to me in a way that is almost inexplicable, perhaps because of how heartbreaking yet tenderly comforting this was, who knows, but what i can say with the utmost certainty is that i will treasure it for the rest of my life <3

A Galaxy Next Door, Volume 1 by Gido Amagakure

giggling and kicking my feet in the air right now, this book is making me so happy it's embarassing đ
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 đ ) 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

i am a woman of many flaws but my biggest flaw will forever be that i - to my dismay - enjoyed this book very much and that i will probably read more Bukowski. you can throw tomatoes at me, i deserve it đ
The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana EnrĂquez
5.0
âSometimes I think the crazies arenât people, theyâre not real. Theyâre like incarnations of the cityâs madness [...] if they werenât there weâd all kill each otherâ
this book is like the less erotic but more horrific version of Her Body and Other Parties: Stories and thatâs everything i ever wanted and needed.
