Joining that discussion late, but two important things - dark collate tastes better warmer. Not melting, but cold is awful
Second: taste buds get used to how much sugar we eat. So if you gradually reduce it, then after a while much less sugar can taste sweet. So with milk chocolate, see what percent of chocolate your favourite one has, probably 45-50%. Then move up 5% occasionally. Getting to 80% is great, and 90-95% is where I stopped and I love it now. The higher the % the more the quality matters so try different brands
The expensive Lindor dark chocolate bars are good ($6-$8 a bar now ), but I tried a cheap dark chocolate bar the other day, and it wasn’t worth the calories.
Such a meowgnificent video, such a meowgnificent music and such a meowgnificent channel! Thank you for sharing!

Had to take a little break from studies; did occasional reading and replaying Final Fantasy I (second time), but not much else. And, of course, kept my tobaccoless streak.

まんが版 こんにちはマイコン 第1章 すがやみつる,渡辺茂 | 週刊コロコロコミック – foud this gem. This is quite an old manga; I couldn’t find when it was made, but probably 80s. It’s very nostalgic. Also, it’s very interesting to look at how the future was envisioned back then. To be fair, many of the predictions did came true, just not exactly the way they expected Another interesting thing is that this manga is basically the 80s version of 学研キッズネット。I must say, back then they were much wilder with educational manga. The whole kidnapping and using programmable toy tank to deliver a message for help – is, I think, something that would be too much for 学研キッズネット

我が1円くん 第1話(2025年5月号) てらちあ | 週刊コロコロコミック – By this time you’ve probably noticed that I’m the kind of purrson who would start one book, then another, then another – and ends up having a lot of started books and very few finished… And コロコロコミック actually stimulates this kind of reading… So, naturally, while having lots of unfinished manga already, I’ve started reading another one… Not sure how much I like this one though. The idea of selling nearly used-up pencils to a boy to deceive his mother into thinking he’d been studying a lot – is not a solution. Rather, it’s a timed bomb that is bound to explode when the truth finally comes out… Ironically, this might actually be close to how real life billionairs do their business… But still, I thought this was going to be a manga teaching how to save money and spend them wisely – and instead it looks more like a manga teaching how to do questionable business deals
I completely understand about changing gears while reading. I used to read up to six novels at a time. If I became bored with one, I would just abandon it. I still managed to finish a whole lot of books, though.
VAMPRED 第3話 黒田さくや | 週刊コロコロコミック – unfortunately, this is the last chapter in the pilot release and it’s unclear when (or even if) the next chapter would be published… I really hope it would though. This is a great manga and I hope someday they would even make an anime based on it…

ウルトラマン アロング・ケイム・ア・スパイダーマン 第1話 緋呂河とも,松本しげのぶ,大石真司 | 週刊コロコロコミック – Ultraman is a very faimous franchise with lots of various series written, although so far I only know it via a TV series that was broadcasted where I live during my childhood. I don’t even know which exact series it was Anyway, I decided to check whether there’s anything Ultraman related on corocoro – and found three series. Chose one of them – didn’t expect to see Marvel heroes there. Reminds me of how surprised I was when I found out there’s an anime about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Interestingly enough, the idea of manga about Marvel heroes somehow gives me @Kami_no_Kami_Neko さん vibes
