We're onto my September wrap-up now. In September I found an anime that
instantly becomes my favorite. In term of reading, I only read two books but I
like what I read. Let's just jump right to the list of books I read in
September.
Books read in September
|
The Travelling Cat Chronicles - Hiro Arikawa (★★★★) |
|
A touching and heartwarming book about a cat owner, Satoru Miyawaki,
who looked for a new owner for his cat, Nana. Something caused him not
being able to care for his cat. So he traveled around Japan to visit
his friends and asked for their help to adopt Nana. This is a book
that I didn't expect to like so much since I picked it up merely for
the cat. I highly recommend this book to read.

Tokyo Express - Seicho Matsumoto (★★★) |
|
Tokyo Express is a cosy mystery book by Seicho Matsumoto, who's a
popular Japanese detective fiction writer. I thought I never heard of
this author before, I bought this book because it's published as one
of the titles in Penguin Modern Classics. Apparently, his other book,
A Quiet Place, is on my wishlist so I'm glad that I picked this book
up. Tokyo Express is basically a murder mystery in which the alibi of
the suspects is very tight. The main character of this book is a young
detective from Tokyo. As the title implies, Tokyo railway timetable
plays an important part in this book. In general, I think this book
doesn't really stand out among other similar books in the genre. What
impresses me is how meticulous the author arranged the murder case.
Although sometimes it gets too detailed that it went over my head and
got me so bored until I was taken out of the story for a while. It's a
short book but it's quite entertaining if you like crime mystery
stories. The motive isn't much discussed in this book. The method
takes a lot more portion of the book. If that's the kind of crime
mystery story that you're looking for, then this book might be for
you.

September Favorites
Book
The Travelling Cat Chronicles
TV shows
The Rings of Power
The show that I've been waiting for finally available to stream! It doesn't
disappoint. The visual is stunning. I mean it. It's fun to be back in Middle
Earth again because it is so gorgeous. This show is set before The Lord of The
Ring and The Hobbit so it's nice to know what happened before. If you like
fantasy series, you have to watch this series.
Anime
Jujutsu Kaisen
Ever since this anime first came out almost every one I know said good things
about it. You have no idea how many Gojo Satoru memes going around my social
media. I traveled back home quite a lot in september because my mother
underwent a surgery. So I spent most of time waiting at the airport and
hospital. Since I wasn't in the mood to read books and looking for something
light and fun to consume, I decided to watch this anime. I get the hype. This
anime is so cool. I love it. I can't wait for the next season to drop.
Movies
Jujutsu Kaisen: 0
This movie is the prequel of the anime series. It sets a year before the anime
series. It centers around a character which doesn't show up in the series. It
also tells a bit of Gojo Satoru's past with his friend Geto. Again, love it.
I've watched twice already. I don't mind watching it for the third time. If
you watch the anime series, you definitely should watch this movie.
That's it! September wrap-up and favorites. I still have October and November
left to write after this. Also, I think I will put more anime title in my
wrap-up because I started to watch more anime than usual because of Jujutsu
Kaisen. Anyway, see you in my next wrap-up post.
