Manga Fire Punch Reading...
Anime One Piece Around 300 ep right now...
Book The Lonesome Bodybuilder" by Yukiko Motoya I think I'll drop this one. It's weird because the stories start great and then the endings are just disappointing! I thought that maybe that's the case with one or two stories, but no, so far every one of them left me... just *shrug*
Book We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida Stories about a peculiar clinic prescribing cats as a medicine. Made me laugh and made me cry. "You know the old saying: A cat a day keeps the doctor away."
Book This is Amiko, Do You Copy? by Natsuko Imamura This was a novella from the neurodivergent girl's POV. She's a unique kind of unreliable narrator. With all the stigma around her condition, she experiences neglet while trying to deal with her life. Overall pretty heartwrenching.
Book Asa: The girl who turned into a pair of chopstics by Natsuko Imamura Finally something Murata-like. The stories are kind of similar, weird and surreal, leaving with the void after finishing them.
Book Never split the difference: negotiating as if your life depended on it by Chris Voss Cool read. Former FBI member talks about tricks he uses in negotiations with terrorists and kidnappers and how they can be used in real, boring life (tricks, not terrorists)
Book Factfulness: Ten reasons why we're wrong about the world - and why thing are better than you think by Hans Rosling Amazing. Easily one of the top of my reads, ever. Toolbox for a data-driven critical thinking. Must-read!!!
Game Pokemon Black Replaying this old gem, but this time in Japanese
Book Futureproof by Kevin Roose Depressing, but needed

Up-to-date / reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (Webtoon and Novel). My my my. What an action-packed, stunningly drawn gem. I read over 200 chapters of webtoon and then immediately switched to the novel to continue the story. While the novel is a bit dry to read, I keep doing it anyway. The webtoon is 10/10 in every aspect.
Reading The Dragon Scales Trilogy by L.R. Lam
Reading The jasmine throne by Tasha Suri
Read Hyperfocus: how to be more productive in a world of distractions by Chris Bailey Viking. I was aware of around 80% of tips, but the read was worth for the 20%. It did help. Though, it could be way shorter.
Re-read The Dark Forest - Liu Cixin. Re-read after Netflix series. Man, the show was good, but those books? Another level.
Read Kimi no na wa 1 (JP)
Read Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon
Read The bone shard Daughter, The bone shard Emperor, The bone shard War (Trilogy). Really fun worldbuilding and magic system! Really fun characters! I stumbled upon in quite accidentally, searching for "fantasy books with lesbians" yeaaah...
Up to date Even though we are adults. I normally do not like drama, but wlw drama? Yes, please.
Up to date She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat. I was looking for some yuri with adult women and was not disappointed. Cute, realistic family issues, and also, ace representation!!!
Up to date The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All. I have the worst gay panic reading this. Ended up reading it twice in one evening (second time while listening to a dedicated playlist). REALLY good.
Playing Caligula Effect 2. I actually dropped Persona 3 for that one
On-hold Persona 3 Reload. Uhhh. The bar after Persona 5 was set high so P3's dungeons feel just boring and I don't really enjoy the characters as much as I did with P5...
Replayed Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations
Played 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. WHAAATTT. Must-play for narrative and sci-fi enjoyers. This many POVs and timelines??? And they all were good???
Played Stray. Or rather, watched how Heti played. What a shame the ending was really unsatisfying.
