Here are some thoughts on media I read and watched recently:
Danger and Other Unknown Risks by Ryan North and Erica Henderson—I was excited to try this graphic novel by the team from Unbeatable Squirrel Girl! This darker and less fun than Squirrel Girl – its set in a post apocalyptic world, and it is a lot less about friendship. I still enjoyed it but I think it would have been better not to start reading it right before bed.
Our Song Season 1 episodes 1-8—I consider myself to be very unmusical so I was surprised by how much I love this Chinese singing contest! It’s set up so that older singers and younger singers pair and compete as pairs. I really enjoy the mentorship element, some of the pairs are so cute together! I’m also finding myself enjoying the music a bunch. This is a good thing to watch in small chunks which is for taking hand brakes. (Though its too intense to watch while I’m trying to write) Sadly for me the episodes after this have vanished from youtube so I hope i’ll be able to track down another source for them.
She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat, Vol. 1 by Sakaomi Yuzaki, trans Caleb Cook— This is an f/f manga about a woman who loves to cook but doesn’t have a big enough appetite for all the things she wants to cook teaming up with her neighbor who has a very big appetite. This was cute with a little bit of very pointed social commentary, but a bit less of the characters talking about how go the food was than in some other food focused manga I’ve read and I missed that aspect.
