[Novel] The Husky & His White Cat Shizun: Erha He Ta De Bai Mao Shizun 2

Erha’s volume 2’s cover is beautiful, don’t you think? I loved the previous volume’s cover with Mo Ran vs Chu Wanning kind of feel, but the brighter colors of this book look even more beautiful. I love seeing all three of them with their Shizun just hanging out together. CWN watches in the background as his disciples play around.

[Novel] The Husky & His White Cat Shizun: Erha He Ta De Bai Mao Shizun 1 (二哈和他的白猫师尊)

Erha Volume 3 finally came out! I was excited about this book and had been waiting patiently for September 26 to come. Only to find out that, for Kindle users, you have to wait for another week before it gets released. (I don’t know if this is only for Seven Seas books?) To soothe my disappointed heart and refresh my memory, I decided to re-read the first two books while waiting.

[Graphic Novel] Heartstopper (Volume 2)

Heartstopper (Volume 2)

Story and Art: Alice Oseman

Summary from Amazon:

Nick and Charlie are best friends, but one kiss has changed everything. In the aftermath, Charlie is sure that Nick isn’t interested, but Nick is more confused than ever.

Love works in surprising ways, and Nick comes to see the world from a new perspective. He discovers all sorts of things about his friends, his family… and himself.


I just have a dopey smile after finishing this book. Come on, if you’ve basked on the cuteness and fluffiness that was Nick and Charlie for an entire book, I bet you’ll have the same look on your face as I did. Alice Oseman maintained that laid-back pace from the first book which I enjoyed. There were some emotional and tense scenes here and there, but they were all handled in a way that didn’t make them melodramatic. I looked forward to picking up this book when I’m winding down so that kind of feel made me relax.

[Graphic Novel] Heartstopper (Volume 1)

Heartstopper (Volume 1)

Story and Art: Alice Oseman

Summary from Amazon:

Shy and softhearted Charlie Spring sits next to rugby player Nick Nelson in class one morning. A warm and intimate friendship follows, and that soon develops into something more for Charlie, who doesn’t think he has a chance.

But Nick is struggling with feelings of his own, and as the two grow closer and take on the ups and downs of high school, they come to understand the surprising and delightful ways in which love works.

So I blame the Netflix show for my latest addiction called Heartstopper. I’ve rewatched the series three times now, but I still couldn’t get enough of it. Since the second and third seasons are still in progress, I thought I’d use that time to catch up on the webcomic instead.

[Manga] Uemura-kun wa Majime na Iiko. (上村くんは真面目ないい子。)

上村くんは真面目ないい子。 | Uemura is a Good Boy.

Story and Art: Megane (めがね)

Translated by: Amimaru Translation and Localization Services Ltd

Status: Completed

Available at Manga Planet (EN), Rakuten KOBO (JP)

Summary from futekiya

To his teachers, classmates, and parents, Uemura is a model student. But, that is hardly the truth. Beneath his serious exterior, Uemura loves masturbating more than anything else and spends his day thinking dirty thoughts. His facade as a serious student slips when his playboy underclassman, Matsuoka, catches him at school jacking off to dirty panties. Has Uemura finally found someone who can accept his true self?


What prompted me to read this was the contrast between the title and the cover. The title roughly translates “Uemura-kun is a Good Boy,” but the cover I saw was this?

I know, I’m so late. I meant to play and write a post about this last year, but RL turned hectic while I was transitioning to a new job. On top of that, I was just not in the mood to play any games for a while. So there’s that. 😅

For those unfamiliar with NaNoRenO, it is an annual event that happens every March as game developers take on the challenge to create a visual novel within a month. Enamored Risks is Crystal Game Works’s entry for the NaNoRenO 2020. The story follows Alex, a college undergrad who feels burned out from her school works and her parents’ hassling. She overhears about a group of urban explorers and their adventures on abandoned buildings and other structures. Wanting to get out of her ordinary life, she decides to do some explorations. With the help of her newfound friends, she discovers not just the beauty within the ruins but also a different side of herself.
