Monster Musume vol 8.
While the last chapter (the one setting up the mermaid arc) was disjointed the rest of it was enjoyable and funny too. Having to wait half a year for Vol 9 is going to suck, but it's a quality series. I think I can handle the wait. Batman Beyond 2.0 Vol 3: The last Batman Beyond stories before DC did that stupid OMAC future thingy that nearly everyone hates. And boy howdy while a few plots are left hanging overall it's a solid conclusion to the BB story and it leaves windows open in case DC decides to revisit our future hero at some point. |
Slowly but surely making my way through The Darkest Minds. After that, I will then read The Coldest Girl In Coldtown and after that, I will start off the first part of the Star Wars: Darth Bane trilogy.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Silver Surfer are both delightful series that people should read.
|
I've been reading a lot of Umaru chan, that's about it.
|
I fucking love Murcielago.

Not read it but apparently this is a thing.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...4,203,200_.jpg They should do a Goonies book in this style. |
I've been reading The Count of Monte Cristo, it's incredibly engaging, and while it's not really the main part reading about Napoleon has piqued my interest, I studied the French Revolution in school, but never Napoleon, so after this I should pick a good book or documentary on the topic.
And I picked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Deviations in a whim, and I was genuinely surprised, guess I will have to get around to reading the main book. |
I am currently reading The Monster Mash: The Creepy, Kooky Monster Craze in America 1957-1972.
I'm strongly considering a full review of this book. So far, this has been a wonderful book that perfectly encapsulates the feel of that era. It starts off with the Author's personal experiences with his love and introduction to Horror, then swings into something of a general area, focusing on a few large parts that ultimately both lead to and continued the growing power Monsters had in the early 60s. It covers early horror comics and the CCA, Horror Hosts, the creation and success of Famous Monsters of Film Land, the popularity of cheesy drive-in movies to teens, rock 'n roll, Aurora model kits. All of which has very good information and interviews with people involved. It's a great start, covering a wide range of finely detailed topics in around the first 47 pages. It transports you into that time. The point being that Monsters were everywhere. Once it accomplishes this, the book focuses on more specific areas for extended periods. One section is about Boris Karloff, another is all the general monster merchandise like Mars Attack cards, Ugly Stickers, Old Maid Monster themed cards by MB, the various Masks and companies that made them, etc. That's followed by segments and interviews about the Addams Family and the Munsters, which is where I am at now. It also features some wonderful, wonderful high quality images of all sorts of books, posters, magazines, toys, trading cards, and of course actors and monster, other POI. It is gorgeous to look at. The paper also surprised me, because I was expecting something slick like Eji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters, but it's actually rough like newspaper. I don't really have any issue with this one way or the other, I would be perfectly fine with either or. But I do think that in a way the rougher paper adds a certain charm to the whole package, its like an old comics book or something, and it works really well. I'll likely be coming back to this after I read more. |
While I'm trying to catch up with my Ajin manga volumes, I'm reading Oniwakamru the Visitor and it's pretty awesome so far. If you like stuff like The Guyver or Devilman, you should be right in home for this manga. I also pick up the first volume of Terra Formars and I plan to read it soon. I hear cool things about it.
|
So I've officially read further in the My Hero Academia manga than the anime is currently up to. Reading the stuff I've already watched was kind of weird, but I think I chose a good point to switch over to the manga - I'm definitely enjoying the manga more now. Probably gonna go pick up the next two volumes tomorrow, since i'm absolutely loving this series. Too bad I have to wait for August for the next volume :\
