New Manga Read - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Volume 14

It's been a while since I read any Frieren, but just got Volume 14 from the library recently, so had to jump into it over the weekend.

Great volume. We're in a continuing story of trying to protect Serie from would be assassins. We also learn more about the group of people trying to assassinate Serie.

It was a well done volume, ready to see what happens next. Whenever my library network gets Volume 15.

New Manga Read - Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, Volume 2

After feeling uncomfortable about the age gap in Volume 1, when I saw Volume 2 at the library, I decided to give it another shot.

It's cute. It's a slow burn, pun intentional. It's still weird, to me, the strange obsession with our female lead in cashier mode.

But, it's well written, love the art, and the characters are engaging.

So, even as I find the age gap dynamic a little odd and unsettling, I still enjoyed the second volume.

We'll see if I read 3.

New Read - Tista, Volume 2 (Final)

I read volume one of this a few years back with @beneaththetangles. Tista is a two volume manga series from Endo Tatsuya, the creator of Spy X Family. This pre-dates Spy X Family and, frankly, is somehow more violent.

Tista is an abused, orphaned girl who ends up in a church organization that actually is raising up assassins in NYC to take out criminals. This is her story from beginning to its tragic ending. Content warnings include child abuse and violence.

I enjoyed it. It was a well told story. And the art was on point. But goodness, at times it was a lot.

Through Volume 1, it's implied they have a mutual crush. Kind of. She's 24. He's 45.

I...I dunno. That feels weird. Too weird, to me. Too much of an age gap.

Also, his weird obsession with her when she's in cashier mode creeps me out. He specifically goes only to her aisle for check out even if the line is longer. That's explicitly said in the manga.

If a 45 year old dude kept doing that to a 24 year old woman IRL, how weird would that be?

Anyway, dropping after Volume 1. No thanks.

New Read - Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You, Volume 1

So, a lot of folks online have been reading this, apparently, so I saw Volume 1 at the library and picked it up. Also, a lot of folks I had followed on Insta (when I was there) gushed over this.

Premise: 45 year old business dude is kind of obsessed with a younger woman who checks him out at the grocery store. Another woman who works there (same woman, different hair style) asks to smoke with him. They chat outside while smoking together. He doesn't realize they're the same person.
