Major Life Update

Dear readers, 

It's been a really long while since I last posted on this blog, hasn't it? It wasn't just burnout, life decided to throw some very annoying curveballs, and I genuinely didn't have the energy to focus on my blog anymore. A lot happened in a year—actually, it started in November 2023 after I ultimately caught Covid. I managed to avoid it for three years despite my family getting it multiple times, but in the end it got me too and—as my first time—it was really horrible and it took me a long time to recover. 

Manga Review: The Blue Wolves of Mibu Vol. 1

It only took the title for me to immediately request this manga on NetGalley, and I’m not ashamed to admit it! If you know me, you’ll already be aware that I’m really intrigued by historical fiction (it’s always been this way), and you’ll also know that Edo Japan is my favourite historical era. Plus, with the films I’ve watched and games I’ve played about this significant period in Japanese history, I was really eager to see how the characters I’ve come to get attached to would be portrayed. 

Hello 2024

Happy New Year!

We're just a few days into 2024, did you have a lovely celebration? 2023 has been a difficult year for me, especially these past few months—which explains my absence from this blog in November and December. Unfortunately Covid caught up to me as well and, since it was the first time, I was basically knocked out and had to postpone my planned content until further notice. I'm well now, thankfully, so I'll be taking the whole month of January to work on my blog and schedule all posts I had to put on hold until now.
