Stories I Recommend!
(Updated July-August 2022)
- Spy X Family (Anime, Crunchyroll)
When world peace is on the line, nothing should stand in the way, and everything should be done to keep it. But then, how will one secret agent fare when, to accomplish his mission, he needs to do the toughest thing of all; have a family? Let the hyjinx ensue! - Oyasumi Punpun (Manga)
Punpun is a boy like any other, living a life like any other; with the pain, happiness, and trial that comes with. From first loves to broken dreams, join Punpun in a life like any other (If you think you have the heart for it). - Yumi’s Cells (Webtoon)
People have a lot of feelings and thoughts from day-to-day, and Yumi Kim is no exception. But just imagine; what if we could see into the world of those feelings and thoughts?

Reading Between Manga Review: Boku Wa Mari No Naka
