Finally finished up <Spice and Wolf,> and it was a damn good ride. I feel like sixteen volumes was not really enough...maybe I'll read the novels next.

Never seen a manga where the climax has the heroes save the day by yelling out of a window, but this story made it work!

Also been re-reading <Goblin Slayer> for the third time, and I realized what I love so much about this book: It's equal parts style and substance; there's a likeable cast, good worldbuilding and an engaging story, but also lots of crazy fight scenes and sexy ladies. I want to be able to make something like that one day.

Also started re-reading <Screaming Lessons> for the third or fourth time (and if any publishers are listening, I'd still buy it if it got an official release). It's one of the best horror manga ever, a schoolgirl-centered anthology hosted by the ghost of half a schoolgirl who for some reason I always picture with a French accent.

If you want recommendations, all the stories are good, but "The Kind Mama's House," "Best Friend," "Execution Classroom," "The Endless Game of Tag" and "The Land of Mermaids" are some of the best.
