I was gonna write tonight but found out my favorite manga is ending v soon so I just spent the past almost hour crying because I wasn’t ready for it to be finishing. I’m so sad, it’s my comfort anime and my favorite and has been for the past 4 years, but alas all good things must come to an end. If you’re looking for a manga recommendation, I definitely recommend Fukigen na Mononokean (The Morose Mononokean). I watched season 1 of the anime first and fell in love with it so much that I had to read the manga. It’s funny and full of lovable characters that you just grow attached to. It’s definitely not for everyone, I know some people wouldn’t be into it, but it’s very special to me and if you enjoy cute stories with some drama I definitely recommend it.
