The actual step by step drawing tutorials are easy to follow and the parts that tell you a bit about Yokai are interesting. If you like to draw this is a fun one to work on less conventional designs, and an added bonus if you like to draw and are a fan of wither anime, Japanese culture, mythology, paranormal or all of the above. 

This book was fast-paced and extremely entertaining. The mystery was well-done, the lead-up to the reveal was done perfectly, questions were asked, some answered and enough left unanswered to warrant the next book. Get's a 3.5 because a 4 would be too much but 3 isn't quite good enough. I'd recommend this if you like true-crime or shows that  follow police/detectives.

Super fun read, I liked the characters they were well layered and the plot itself had me wondering what exactly was going on. The entire concept was really interesting to learn a little more about as the plot progressed. I have high hopes for the 2nd book.

Heads up this is a short story collection (which initially I didn't realise), I picked this up because the cover and title sounded cute I saw the words "slice of life" and "manga" and thought sure I rarely read slice of life manga. The 3 stories individually were super cute but I would've preferred that all 2 be separate longer mangas so that definitely affects my rating but it still gets a 4 which isn't bad at all. So needless to say I'd recommend it it was super cute! 

 Very interesting read, it's short and sweet. Looks at the idea of robots in a very sweet way, which is extremely uplifting with all the bad things people think and feel surrounding the future of things like AI/robots.

I loved the movie and I’m so excited to collect the mangas this is one of the best mangas I’ve ever read!🫶🏻

Honestly kinda impressed by how much more this had in comparison to the 2nd version. Side note, this get's 4.25.

Allison is truly an incredible person who has faced the worst one could imagine. This was heartbreaking, gut-wrenching and inspiring all at once. I want to make it clear my rating is simply a reflection of how the writing made me feel not Allison's journey itself I give this a 4.5 only because certain topics being discussed in as much details as it was, was too much for me and this is partially my own fault for not properly preparing myself for this and I likely would give this a 5 had I properly gotten myself mentally ready for the weight of this read but I unfortunately did not and that is entirely my own fault. 

I have decided to DNF this read, I got about 50% through, and have realised that now is simply not the time so in other words this is a soft DNF I think I will come back to this in the future when I think it will better suit my mood but for now I'll be stopping. I don't want to force myself to read this and end up not liking it for no good reason. In terms of rating I obviously can't properly rate it but from what I did read, this is a good and interesting if it continued to be at the same level through to the end I think this could easily have been a 3.5 or 3.75 however since I'm not finishing it now I will refrain from actually rating it. 

3.5✨
An extremely unique and interesting way of telling a story, for some reason despite knowing it was musical esc I didn't expect actual singing. The songs were very well-done and the narrators were great too. I felt it ended a bit abruptly and that it would have benefited greatly from being a little longer. I had a good time and it was a fun listen I'd definitely recommend to people who like musicals!

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me access to this arc!
