So I end March with 52 manga read, 15 light novels and 27. That’s down from 72 manga, 19 light novels last month but one shots went up from 10. Backlog went up from 477 to 506, which is the first increase of the year but given I haven’t been reading as much as usual and had more money to buy stuff it was always going to implode somewhere along the line… Here’s to more progress in April…
