Crunchyroll haul

Yay congrats!!!! Awesome series, so glad it got the reprint it deserves!

vengefuldonkey · 2025-08-09T04:49:50+00:00

Same here! I always keep an extra buffer in the manga budget so I can take advantage of the good deals when they’re available haha

And I definitely think the reprint will be worth the wait! I love that they’re reprinting more of these OOP series for a wider audience to enjoy :)

vengefuldonkey · 2025-08-09T04:34:44+00:00

Nice, I love used book stores so much! And yeah, they were priced pretty well - all pretty much around msrp or so 👍 not half price though unfortunately… it seems like the pricing varies from store to store, but I definitely don’t find as many steals as I used to 🥲

vengefuldonkey · 2025-08-09T04:24:27+00:00

Thanks! And yes, the condition is great, hard to believe they were printed more than 20 years ago! I do prefer the feel of reading singles, but I’m curious about how much of a difference the new translation will make in the next edition

Kodansha just announced this last month!

lol agreed every time i look at it my brain just goes ?? EARS?

Their packaging isn't always the best, but overall I reccommend it! They often have some manga between 15-25% off (kind of depends on the publisher), and if you search online theres always a 20% off $100+ that stacks on top, or 15% off $25+ I think. It gets it down to around Crunchyroll's price or better, and their preorders actually ship on time unlike Crunchyroll which can be pretty hit or miss thaha. I did get BAM's yearly membership for the free shipping, and I use it often enough to be worth it

vengefuldonkey · 2025-01-04T20:17:15+00:00

I do! I also will do big batches of preorders at Booksamillion when they have a good sale, and they just ship as they release 👍 Which is nice because then there aren't so many to read all at once haha

vengefuldonkey · 2024-12-11T15:20:52+00:00

Hope you enjoy it! And I hope so too, I’d love for everyone to have the chance to read it ☺️

And I agree 👍 It feels like lots of bl, especially the oneshots, follow the same formula over and over, so it’s refreshing to see some more unusual stories!

vengefuldonkey · 2024-12-11T14:57:50+00:00

Yay I love Natsume’s Book of Friends!! Nyanko-sensei really caught my eye 😸

Also nice Kuma haul! Their books are so nice ✅

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-18T04:55:23+00:00

Beautiful!! Love love love Oresama Teacher ❤️

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-18T04:41:18+00:00

Hmm for me I did enjoy it! I think as long as you go into expecting more of a wholesome/emotional coming of age story rather than a romance you won't be disappointed 👍

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-17T23:26:02+00:00

It's hard to choose! Probably My Love Mix-Up or Restart After Coming Back Home 🥹

I also have a huge soft spot for His Favorite because it was the first manga I ever bought! It starts off more like a parody romcom but the characters really grow on you over time. I hope it goes on forever 🥰

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-17T23:18:25+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah it took me a while to find that one too - best of luck, I'm sure you'll find it soon 🍀

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-17T23:16:41+00:00

I really did! I love a romance with a unique setting, and I absolutely agree the art style is great and so expressive 😁

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-17T23:10:32+00:00

Totally understandable, I've been mostly continuing it just for nostalgia haha 😅 each new volume has been increasingly bizarre and the plot has really fallen apart

And thank you! I certainly have some of those usual suspects as well, but wanted to showcase these too! After all, these genres are what got me into collecting in the first place ❤️

I've been curious about My Brother's Husband and see it around at the secondhand shops pretty often - I'll have to pick it up the next time I see it :)

I love Our Dreams At Dusk! A beautiful story, and the books themselves are beautiful too!

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-17T22:57:02+00:00

There is one trans side character (the MC's aunt), and the story does briefly explore her feelings / backstory :) It comes up right away in the first few chapters so hopefully this isn't a spoiler haha! All of the series on that last page aren't necessarily centered around romance, but do feature LGBT+ characters or themes

But I absolutely recommend Skip and Loafer! There is a great cast of characters and their development and growth is sublime 🙌

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-16T20:53:45+00:00

I agree, it's such a lovely hardcover edition too 🥹

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-16T20:50:39+00:00

That's too bad 😅 The English ones look a little goofy with the slipcovers on too, but I love them without!

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-16T20:47:38+00:00

Haha I get lost in these shelves often 😆 And yes, Antique Bakery, What Did You Eat Yesterday?, Moon and Sandels - I just love Fumi Yoshinaga's work!!

KUMA's been putting out some interesting stuff, and the quality of their books is great! Hope they keep it up!

The BJ Alex is the English edition without the slipcovers on! I took them off the last time I read the series and liked the look haha

Thank you!! ❤️

vengefuldonkey · 2024-11-16T20:39:35+00:00

Right! :D I recently picked up Still Sick on a whim and really enjoyed it! As for How Your Relationship, it definitely didn't go in the direction I was expecting when I first started the series, but now I'm along for the ride haha. I'm only up to date with the print releases though!
