Graphic Novels and Manga read

Blue Lock Volumes 1-11 by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yuusuke Nomura: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5 stars) I may or may not have binged this series. It was THAT good. I don’t think I’ve ever read something so interesting! I can’t recommend it enough.

Shortcake Cake Volumes 3-6 by Suu Morishita: ⭐⭐⭐ (3 out of 5 stars) This was just okay. The art is incredibly stunning, but I have major issues with a lot of things in the series.

  18. You had a such a productive month! One of my besties bought me Scritch Scratch for Christmas and I’ve been afraid to read it. 🤣🤣🤣 I hate creepy/horror type books from any age level. I’m a total scaredy cat. I look forward to your review.
