[A Guide to 19 Days and Recap] [Previous]

Chapter 100-102: Intense! Jian Yi is sad Xixi genuinely finds him irritating then sees the girl crushing on Xixi and says he'll give Xixi the love letter if she agrees to stay away from him from then on.

I wonder why Jian Yi acts so dumb around Xixi if he knows it pushes him away?

Chapter 103-109: Oh right, that dark-haired guy who seems to be friends with Jian Yi is He Tian from the cover right?

Was Jian Yi's dad in an accident?? And then someone happened to his mom? Xixi was the one to comfort him

Dude, why're you being homophobic Jian Yi, you're in love with a guy...

Chapter 114: Xixi was so concerned when Jian Yi screamed only to be told 'get the bug off my ****'!1' X'D

So it's Jian Yi's birthday, Xixi took him up high to overlook the stars and lights of the town then brought out a sparkler.

Is Jiang Yi going to call him Ah-Xi from now? And what was he going to say? "If I..." maybe if "I I said I liked you..."

Chapter 115-116: Lmao He Tian getting up in Jiang Yi's business so Jiang Yi tries it back, it does not go well.

Oh, it's the other short-haired guy from the cover! He Tian's love interest?

Chapter 117: Did I know Xixi's full name was Zhan Zhengxi??

Chapter 118-119: Something happened between He Tian, Jiang Yi and the redhead, Jiang Yi was caught by Xixi punching a tree because he was going to fight the readhead??

Chapter 120-121: "I didn't think you'd be so fit" He Tian the guy you're talking about it scrawny af wdym;;

What is Jiang Yi depressed about? 😭

I love how in both these chapters He Tian gets hit by the two's antics.

I know we are halfway through the month, but is anyone else doing anything for ani-MAY or MAY-nga this year? Are they even still things?

I've been challenging myself to watch or rewatch through one disc a day of my anime DVD collection and to reread one volume a day of my physical manga collection.

The anime part is going well. It's given me an excuse to make time to watch some things I haven't in awhile and helping me decide what maybe could leave my collection.

I am very behind on the manga reading, but it has been fun. I actually set out a bunch of volumes to do this with last year and never got it, so it's kinda like a weird Advent calendar, full of nostalgia. There doesn't seem to be any sort of rhyme or reason to why I picked the volumes off the shelf that I did. It's an adventure. (And yes, that means there was a very large stack of manga on my nightstand for a year that I grew blind to. The poor things.)

"Aa Bocchama...! /
Oh, My Young Master...!"

Tsukinosuke Maro, 2007

Summary: Kuroda Kaede, Alias "Sebastian" lives fulfilling days working as the butler for Japan's leading trading group, Sugasaki Trade Holdings. His only source of headache is the sole heir of the Sugasaki group, his young master, the hikikomori gamer, Tominosuke Sugasaki. Although knowing that this sort of hikikomori lifestyle should not be allowed to continue, Sebastian continues to give in and spoil his cute young master.

One day, Sebastian was summoned by the master and was kicked out to the streets with Tominosuke with the parting words "Do not return until you have made 1 million yen"......?!?!

My comments: I like how their identities were stripped down and built back up by the end. The side-characters were really interesting, I wonder if they're in the story this manga was adapted from? This had an interesting setting (they're homeless for a while) and I liked the frank look at hosting and it's reality. I also liked the tenderness of the master/servant relationship, especially the master side, he's not your typical seme for sure.

"Akuyaku Reijou no Naka no Hito: Danzai Sareta Tenseisha no Tame Usotsuki Heroine ni Fukushuu Itashimasu
The Villainess Within: Avenging the Reincarnated Girl by Exposing the Heroine's Lies"

Makiburo, Shiraume Nazuna (artist), 2021

Summary: Emi Kobayashi, an ordinary girl who loves otome games, wakes up and finds herself as Remilia, the villainess of the otome-game app "The Star Maiden and the Knight of Salvation." Emi scrambles to avert the destruction of the world and her own downfall!In spite of her efforts, the heroine of the Star Maiden, who is also a reincarnated person, strikes at her, and Emi is accused of trying to kill the heroine in addition to breaking the engagement. Instead of Emi, who lost consciousness due to the shock, Remilia, who was watching over her from inside, wakes up and takes revenge on the heroine and her former fiancé, the second prince, who hurt the lovely Emi.
My comments: Starts with the typical engagement annulment/accusatory heroine scene but the twist is that the villainess is still inside the body and takes back over once the reincarnated girl's consciousness faints from the shock. Also, the heroine is reincarnated as well.

I really enjoyed that Remilia got to see Emi's memories and feel the love she had in her life and it helped Remilia even though her body got stolen, and she ended up loving Emi. I've never felt so pained by the villainess' downfall before and you could feel it through the real Remilia as well and makes you badly want revenge.

It feels like the plot is really getting started after Remilia is forced to go live in their country estate and I'm excited to see what happens next after contacting the demons.

I saw someone mistake this for a GL but sadly it is not, there is romance later apparently. Remilia isn't interested in romance at all so maybe it'll be with Emi even though she's still unconscious?

Chapter 9: Sarasa and Hayato get kidnapped by pirates, their chief is a badass lady although she's a slaver. Kaku is there though!

Lmao of course Shuri taught his messenger bird to praise him.

Never thought we'd get secret penpals with the enemy in this, so now they can keep in contact outside of hot springs lmao.

Sarasa fought and won against Chacha the chief so now the pirates work for her! And it's effective immediately, the Shoujou clan found their hiding spot...

Chapter 10: Shidou is backing up the Shoujou. He said he counted Ageha as one of his close friends lmao. I hope Ageha gets to go back with Sarasa.

Those poor women and children on the ship, Shidou ordered their murder but they drowned and got trampled first. T_T

Ageha and Chacha know each other, of course they do.

Chapter 11: Sarasa got to the Shoujou's cannon on time and shot at the Fuujin, now the Red King faction think Shoujou joined with Tatara.

The location of the real Suzaku sword has been revealed.

I was so glued to my screen this chapter!

Chapter 12: Shidou's wife has guts I'll give her that.

Nice flashback to Shidou and Shuri's childhood, if they were the good guys I'd feel more. "Now and always he provides the canvas. So I can paint my kingdom."

Meanwhile someone attacked a European ship claiming to be Tatara's man. :/ Union ships are now attacking Suou.Shuri realizes it wasn't Tatara but his brother setting him up. He destroys his own ship in apology to the Europeans.

The irony that Shuri's letter is what cheers Sarasa up when she's on the run from Shidou, who Shuri had to back off from helping against her. I love that the bird relayed 'Shuri snot' to him.
