Hi fellow readers! In April, I was trying to get back on track with my
personal projects. Unfortunately, work suddenly became very hectic toward the
end of the month. I'm supposed to prepare myself for my trip on May but that
didn't happen. Considering all that happened at the end of April, I still
manage to finish three books in which two of them are mangas. Here's the books
I finished in April.
Books read in April
|
orange -to you, dear one- - Ichigo Takano (★★★) |
|
This manga is the final installment in the Orange manga series. I read
the previous ones a while ago so I don't really remember what happened
aside of the general plot of the series. Basically, the manga follows
a group of friends who befriend a new student at school. Something bad
happened to this new student causing the future of this group to
change forever. This manga talks about loneliness, friendship, with a
bit of time travel in it. Orange is actually a sad story but since
this volume is the final volume, it's hopeful because it ends on a
happy note. If you read the previous volumes, you don't have to read
this one. However, Orange -to you, dear one- gives a nice closure to
the manga series.

Goodnight Punpun Omnibus Vol. 5 - Inio Asano (★★★) |
|
The continuation of Punpun's coming of age story. Some chapters in
this volume focus on this weird man who claimed himself as a God and
ran for mayor. I still don't get his connection to Punpun so his pages
seem useless and boring to me. Anyway, I'm still going to read the
next volume so I'm really hoping that there won't be much of this
weird man in the next volume.

Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered: The Definitive How-To Guide - Karen Kilgariff & Georgia Hardstark (★★★) |
|
If you've heard of the comedy-mystery/true crimes podcast My Favorite
Murder, the host of that show is now venture to another media. Filled
with real life experiences, through this book Karen and Georgia share
some tips on how to survive this scary world. Still, with their sense
of humor without ignoring the importance of the topic discussed, if
you enjoy dark comedy I recommend picking this book up.

April Favorites
Series
The Sandman
This series has been on my Netflix list ever since it first came out. The
series has been getting positive reviews. Even my friends recommend this
series to me. I guess I saved this series for when I need a good series to
watch as a pick me up. It's finally time for me to watch it. It doesn't
disappoint. It's good, the world building, the cast. The dialogue is a bit too
formal than what I usually watch, but it works. While watching, I got
distracted by Morpheus's jawline by the way. His brooding expression kind of
makes me want to laugh sometimes. He's brooding a lot when he's finally smile,
it feels so wrong (lol). All in all, I recommend this series to watch if you
haven't watched it already.
There you go my April wrap-up and favorites. In April, I also tried to finish
those series that I already started since who knows when; like The Sopranos
(but I'm not satisfied with the finale so I don't include it here), and
several Japanese dramas. Honestly, I didn't even expect I was able to finish
those series and books. I'm sincerely hope that May will be nicer and kinder
to me.
