This is weird for me....

...but I'm in the mood for shojo. I've recently read the first three volumes of Shinobi Life which I found absurd and adorable and will most likely buy and the first volume of Black Bird which I was entertained by (tengu!) but did not feel an overwhelming compulsion to buy. I have started Otomen and so far have laughed out loud on almost every page. I find it silly and think I will most likely really like it.

So any suggestions?


also...I apparently really, really like ridiculously absurd things and don't mind if it's weird. I do not like very aggressive men (and by this I mean transgreses even standard heteronormative narration about how men should pursue and women should give them a chase before they give up. I tolerate that, but am annoyed by it, unless of course both characters are equally interesting). I tolerate mildly pushy men if the girl pushes back.

I dunno, feed me books because I'm in a rare mood for romance. Or cute and fluffy. Or both!

Haters

So today, because I get bored and my mind wanders so I eavesdrop shamelessly, I heard a bunch of Kyo Kara Maoh fans bad mouthing Cecilie von Spitzweg.

DO NOT DO THIS FOR SHE IS AWESOME. I love her and she has so much more depth than fans give her credit for. Plus she is mama. And effing adorable and effing ridiculous and I loves her for that. Totes the reason I kept with the show in the beginning...well that and Yuri getting sucked down the toilet.
