did the renshuu book club intermediate and challenge reads, intermediate was a short kind of rom-com-y manga about two students with opposite personalities, and the challenge was a short story about a boy and a ten thousand yen note (was later expanded and published as an actual book under the same title). liked both! intermediate was cute, and challenge takes a bit of a turn in the second half but not in a bad way.
after reading the intermediate i spotted a short 8pg manga that looked interesting and then immediately read the other two works by that author available there, really like their style! first one was about revenge (content warning for graphic violence), second was also 8pgs and historical fiction (think i need to do some reading around this one), and the last one was a longer (30pgs?) thing about a γΉγ±γγ³ who falls in love with a guy on the train (loved this one).
todayβs nhk article was this one, plus the entries on δΈγ« and εΎγγ»εΎγ in aDoIJG
