Gotta love discovering previously unknown entries in series that you really enjoy! It happens to me most often with music. I'll randomly come across a new song from one of my favorite artists or randomly see that they're playing a show nearby out of nowhere and it will make my day! Sometimes my whole week! I might have to give Zom 100 a go. I loved Alice in Borderland! I'm definitely interested in reading more of Haro Aso's work and a fun lighthearted read would be a nice change of pace from some of the heavier stuff I've been reading! I just picked up PTSD Radio,(Thanks to your spooky reads video you did back in the fall!) No Longer Human, and Music of Marie(which may be less heavy than the others, but I think you hinted at some serious themes when you reviewed it as well) In I'm a Wolf, but My Boss is a Sheep, that character is absolutely a Taurus! All of the rest of the birthdays match the correct month and sign, even the other Aries!🤣 Translations are tricky to get right. There's so much more than just switching out words so I guess I can forgive the occasional error when they inevitably pop up. Even if this one was literally just a word swap.🤣 It's so disappointing when you're hyped for something and it just falls flat. Luckily I can only think of one read that really disappointed me recently, and that was Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. I went into it thinking it was going to be this really deep scifi story with tons of intriguing commentary on society and our interactions with each other and the unkown, and there was a little of that, but ultimately it disappointed on practically every level. This might be a hot take, but for me at least, it was slow, boring, and about as deep as a kiddie pool. It's barely 200 pages and I found it so uninteresting it took me almost a month to get through. It focuses a lot on guilt and our attempts to understand the unknown, but didn't really say anything that wasn't pretty surface level obvious stuff, and if you take away the "depth" there isn't a whole lot of story to supplement. Its plot centers on how the characters react to the strange phenomenon they experience, but none of said characters do anything terribly interesting or meaningful. I'm willing to concede that maybe the futility of it all was the point it was trying to get across, but ultimately I just found it trite. I also struggled with the last Dune book, but I knew exactly what I was getting into when I picked that up, so hard to say I was disappointed when I went into it knowing it was going to be a hard read. In the end I think hearing what Frank Herbert had to say was totally worth it however, unlike Stanislaw Lem. It's all good though. Bad reads just make me appreciate the good ones all the much more!

Yeah, making new discoveries is always a blast definitely makes your day! I really enjoy Zom 100 because of comedic, crazy hijinks nature, but also enjoy a zombie apocalypse tale too but since you read and enjoyed Alice in Borderland I think you might like this one as well! Hope you like PTSD Radio that one was not for everyone, but by the end I was really drawn in and intrigued! It’s quite different though I’m curious what you’ll think of it! No Longer Human and Music of Marie are both great imo though No Longer Human definitely a more depressing read…😅 And yeah a disappointing story is always a bummer, but you’re right it doesn’t happen that often, and it makes you appreciate the ones you enjoy that much more!! 😁

[@michaelcowan285]

@@MizzMangaChatz I'll happily share my thoughts on PTSD Radio once I finish it! When you mentioned that the mangaka decided to quit writing it when things in real life as well as the manga started getting a little too out there I was like, ok now I have to pick this up and see what it's all about!😂

[@dawnk.8927]

I also picked up Whoever Steals This Book and was unfortunately disappointed as well. I’m trying to decide why, maybe it was moving too fast? I do recall that when there were pages trying to introduce me to the book world story, it felt more text-heavy than I wanted it to be and I started to skim those parts a bit once I realized this would be the setup for the whole manga. I was already starting a new volume, but then to learn about another book in my new volume I think didn’t work for me in the way it was presented. I wish I enjoyed it more 😭 oh well lol. Thanks for a fun video!

[@MizzMangaChatz]

Aww well I’m sorry it disappointed you too, but I’m also happy to hear I’m not alone in feeling this way after reading this one!! 🤣 Yeah, I couldn’t exactly put my finger on why I didn’t care for it…I agree with you I ended up kinda skimming all the dialogue too haha Same! The cover was giving me everything, but the story itself just felt like a let down sadly…and thank you so much for watching and commenting!! 💕

[@sizzysodapop]

happy manga monday! I love your content

[@MizzMangaChatz]

🥹 thanks so much!!

[@Lat3r426]

Now I got new manga I need to get! I’m sorry I’m late

[@MizzMangaChatz]

Haha just too much manga out there to buy! You’re not late! Thanks for watching 💖😊

[@pakuccino]

They totally wrote the wrong zodiac sign there 😂 Japan write Month/Day and if you check the other characters, that's what they did there as well. So they just messed up his sign for whatever reason 😅

[@mangaroyale]

I thought Whoever Steals This Book was very okay. My biggest issue was the fantasy elements felt rushed. I didn't mind the main character and her dislike for books. I used to dislike reading too! But just like her, I've since grown interested lol. I'll probably give it one more volume before seeing if it still interests me. Glad you liked Gamer Gal!! I'm excited for volume 2! Sorry you didn't like some of the other ones but I'm also not too sureprised tbh 😂

[@MizzMangaChatz]

The only one I am not sure about is Chained Soldier lol and then the one I haven’t read yet…but I enjoyed the others especially Gamer Gal too cute 🥰 Yeah, idk she rubbed me the wrong way just like her overall negativity not just toward books, but idk hard to explain…and yeah it felt rushed and like it was going to be a repetitive type of series, but let me know what you think of volume 2!!

[@mangaroyale]

@@MizzMangaChatz Chained Soldier only gets better (and raunchier) after the first volume. If you don't want to continue this one I won't be surprised lol. It was on your list, I saw an oportunity to introduce you to one I really like 😂

[@sizzysodapop]

I had a question, what are some of your favorite manga one shots

[@MizzMangaChatz]

I have a lot of favorite one shots 🤣 I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, Utsubora, the gods lie, Music of Marie, The Secret of Friendship, Snow Fairy, Skygrazer…probably missing some but there are just too many I really love a good one shot! How about yourself any one shot recs?!
