I LOVE BLOODY MARY!!! It’s about a vampire name Bloody Mary and has memory loss, and an exorcist named Maria who tries to escape from vampires that try to kill him. Bloody Mary is very suicidal-yet can’t be killed unless Maria exorcists him….HOWEVER, Maria bluffs that he can exorcise vampires. Once Bloody realized Maria was bluffing, Maria says that he will find a way to kill Bloody IF he will protect Maria from vampires. There’s only 10 volumes and it’s completed (sadly). I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT!!!!! It’s been a while since I’ve read them, but the volumes are displayed on my top shelf 😍😍😍😍 it’s that good in my opinion. It sorta gives bl vibes to it!!!

[@purplefrogYT]

That sounds like a really great and unique series!! I will have to check it out!! Tysm for letting me know!!

[@jaz-a-raz6619]

That sounds good it reminds me of angels of death

Oh, that 60 dollar cat plushie is Grim, the mascot character from Disney's Twisted Wonderland! A fun series I'd suggest checking out when the manga releases in english later this year if youre not interested in playing the mobage, its a bunch of good looking anime boys based on Disney villains, designed by the creator of Black Butler!

14:29 it’s from an anime called Lycoris Recoil. It is super good! 100% would recommend to anyone

[@purplefrogYT]

I will check it out!!

[@brayanescobar5150]

The manga at 0:43 Oshi No Ko volume 1 is a new series that I would 100% recommend. The manga is written by Aka Akasaka who made love is war and the art is drawn by Mengo Yokoyari who made Scum's Wish.

[@purplefrogYT]

I will have to check it out!!

[@alex-if8pt]

Just a gentle reminder for new readers of oshi no ko, give it more than just 5 chapters please!! It sounds weird at first but trust, you just need to get to around ch 10 and it’ll be so worth 😼

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

God I would love to have a Barnes & Noble here, I’d love to walk around and buy manga like that, I have to get all my manga from Book Depository.

[@purplefrogYT]

I hope one on a store similar to it opens up near you!

[@twelve9629]

the manga you picked up by tatsuki fujimoto is just a collection of short stories and the next one that’ll come out for it is too. he only has two series (chainsaw man and fire punch) and the rest are one-shots/short stories.

Thank you for letting me know!!

Wow awesome!! And tysm!!

[@Ayumuobsessed]

Barnes and Noble was my favorite place to visit. for my suggestion manga series I picked is Persona 5. so far I have nine volumes of Persona 5 and already preorder the 10th volume which wont be available till June. I also completed the 3 volume spinoff story called Persona 5 mementos mission and it tells a story on what the phantom thieves do during their school days. Ever since I played the original game I became so hooked to it. Eventually I bought the enhanced version for the Nintendo switch Persona 5 royal and the spinoff sequel Persona 5 strikers. Not to mention Joker is my main in super smash bros ultimate.

[@purplefrogYT]

Thank you for the recommendation! I will have to check out both the manga and video games for persona 5!
