So overall I read 47 manga, 10 light novels and 9 one shots which compared to 61/21/25 last month. I know Feb is a shorter month than usual, but that’s the least amount of LNs I have read since I started tracking everything at the start of 2021. I have no idea what happened there… Hopefully, things improve next month or the backlog is never ever going down. (that’s at 144 books now up from 134) ^^;;
