Loved by millions of students for its lively and practical advice, this is the little book that demystifies academic writing. …
A very cute yuri anthology. Don't expect anything life changing or heart breaking. Mostly sweet. Mostly wholesome. Cute art, too!
The overly confident Fujino and the shut-in Kyomoto couldn’t be more different, but a love …
This was an interesting oneshot. There was really no growth in the main character. The twist at the end was definitely sad but I wasn't convinced by the impact of the ending.
What would you say to your teenage self if you could?
Inspired by the journals …
It took me longer to read this than it took for me to read Dune. I realize that this is very much a me problem. In fact, all problems I have with books are me problems.
I tooted about this but I was constantly annoyed by how self-congratulatory this came off. Which is the point!! The point of the book is to console, reassure, and validate Sophie’s past self. But I was just so tired of it maybe two thirds of the way through. Still, a very wholesome and feel good book.

Content warning Mentions of rape

Hmm... I don't know how I feel about this. Poor girl that is "socially adopted" by rich guys. She's too poor for makeup and when she can afford it, people are surprised that she's pretty when she uses it. Revolutionary.
Anyone who hearts New York will love this illustrated homage to the city. Artist, author, …
I want to go back to New York City. Cute and intimate read. I don't know if I would want to go to all of the places mentioned in the book, other than like, allll the food places. The art is really nice, I love the sketchbook journal feel. It's a great art style for memoirs.
Satoko, who is Japanese, has a new roommate in America: a Saudi Arabian woman named …
Very cute and wholesome. I was originally to this book by the spine. I was not expecting to see a Hajibi on a manga volume. Also the typography on the spine was sleek.
