I read Revenge Agent Hizumi-san by MIYAKO. A bit of an eye-roll for the premise, and a CW for the content, but sort of entertaining.

“This was so different for me. It had been a long time since I trusted someone. … I was at the lowest I ever had been and there was nowhere to go but up.” #BookReview https://medium.com/feedium/book-review-the-adventures-of-bang-bang-man-by-phil-nork-1d13b387e3e0?sk=10f18c0e8470dc3ff76577ec6764501a
I read Be My Worst Nightmare!, Vol. 1 by Michelle. A really good high school BL romance with a funny twist. Skip the review if you don’t want to spoil things, but it really sets this apart from all the other similar mangas.

Clever re-imagining of oft-told #mythology
