Ingraman

Not much variety in manga this time… I’ll try the LNs a little later.

Aquasakura

There does not seem to be that many titles of interests for me this time around (although this works out for me since that means I can check out others titles I have been meaning to read).

God Sleeps in Seafoam by Nora Yasuda with illustrations by Arutera

I had been getting a bit bored with reading fantasy stories with settings that seem to bleed in together, so when the premise to this describes a world that revolves around spirits my interest was pique. This and the premise of the story being simple yet good enough to click with me I am going to give this a try.

Genius in the Library: This Bookish Rookie Will Save the Day! by Misa Aoi with illustrations by Yoh Hihara

This has me the most interested out of the releases. I would like to read a story starring a book worm and the fact she has to work towards her goal of reading in peace has me hooked. The premise reminds me of Ascendance of a Bookworm.

A Young Maiden’s Growing Pains: I Reincarnated and All I Got Was This 100X Stat Buff! by Yuno Yozakura with illustrations by Nimoshi

I was going to skip this given that premise seems very similar to past stories I have already read, but the idea of the protagonist being forced to self-improve herself got me interested.

I will be sticking with the following after reading the initial installments:
A Wicked Lady’s Guide to Accidentally Saving the Kingdom: This was a total surprise with a protagonist who is outrageous and not at all self aware. I did not expect it from the title or the summary. I will stick with it to see where it goes.

Genius in the Library: This Bookish Rookie Will Save the Day!: well, who can skip a story of a bookworm. I have some gripes about how easily the MC convinces people in power in certain situations. But, it is interesting.

God Sleeps in Seafoam: Started off well and has an interesting world with a mix of fantasy and modern.

Sorry Darling, but You Won’t Kill Me Again!: Seems Juvenile and too on the face. Might skip it in a few weeks. I do want to know what follows the cliffhanger we stopped at the pre-oub part 2.
