Drew some Tomoko

Mount Shasta and Entering San Francisco
Sep. 18th, 2025 06:58 pmyourlibrarian posting in common_nature
In our final few days we left Oregon, though stayed the night just outside its border in Mount Shasta. The mountain is clearly seen looming over the city but we could see it for many miles as we headed south and finally passed into California.

Giving Lucky Star a second chance
Sep. 14th, 2025 07:43 pmfennectik posting in anime_mangaWhen I first watching Lucky Star, I simply couldn't get into it. I know its akin to American shows like Seinfeld where it's practically about nothing and I got behind that, but I simply couldn't got to be invested after the first four episodes. Decided to give it another go after watching clips on youtube and finding Izumi practically adorable after all this time.
Had also finished Area 88 (2004,) and despite its mild ending and how it directed itself, I enjoyed it for what it was.
Another Anime with a cute protagonist I'm trying out is The Great Jahy Won't be Defeated (or something like that,) which so far it's entertaining, and Heatguy J, which I'm sure I've watched some episodes of it before. Best way I can describe it is like Inspector Gadget if he were badass.
Will update on more progress on said titles.

Humble Bundle: Kodansha's Fall In Love With Shoujo
Sep. 12th, 2025 09:15 amsoc_puppet posting in anime_mangaKodansha is teaming up with Humble Bundle once again to bring you the Fall In Love With Shoujo collection!
This collection includes:
Shugo Chara!, volumes 1 thru 12
Shugo Chara Chan!, volumes 1 thru 4
Peach Girl, volumes 1 thru 18
Mars, volumes 1 thru 15
Say I Love You volumes 1 thru 18
A Condition Called Love, volumes 1 thru 16
You can get the entire bundle of manga for only $30 USD. That said, you can also get the first volume of each series for only $1 USD! All items are available as ePub and PDF.
This bundle supports Book Industry Charitable Foundation, which has helped bookstore and comic book store employees and owners who encounter unexpected financial crises. The Binc Foundation works to keep book people in their homes, in their jobs, and with their families – stabilizing the brick and mortar bookstore community. With some bundles, you can pick which charity you want your donation to go to, but that doesn't seem to be the case with this one. If you scroll down on the right hand side of the Humble Bundle page, you can also find an area where you can adjust how much of your purchase goes to which organization (the charity, the publisher, and Humble Bundle, respectively), with a minimum mandatory amount to Humble Bundle as the host.
With most manga ebook volumes costing around $7 USD (sometimes fifty cents less, sometimes a few dollars more), you only need to be interested in five of the volumes available in the complete bundle to justify the cost—and the total bundle has 83 volumes! That's just over thirty-six cents per tankoubon.
You can find out more information about the various series at the Humble Bundle link. Definitely worth checking out if even one of the titles catches your interest, IMO.
This bundle will close in about three weeks.
Edit: Everything except "A Condition Called Love" is a complete series and is included in its entirety. "A Condition Called Love" is still ongoing, and, at this point in time, has another volume available from Kodansha.
