Last month, I was celebrating Summer being over, but really October ended up being busy as well. I guess more from catching up with everything I missed over the last several months. Plus new anime and dramas starting… Still, let’s see what I read this month!

Light Novels / Novels:

2. Guild Handyman? More Like Mastermind! Using My Hidden Skills in the Shadows volume 1
3. Oshi no Ko volume 1 – review
4. Engaging with the Plot: A Former Cat’s Attempt to Save Her Now Temporary Finacé volume 2 (Actually the web novel has a little more content for this, but not enough for a Vol 3 and the author seems to have abandoned it so we can consider the LNs done I guess…).
5. Days at the Morisaki Bookshop
6. You Can’t See the Snow

So that’s 80 manga read up from 50, 6 light novels / novels down from 7 and 36 one shots up from 23 (although that’s largely because Shonen Jump + was running an event this month). The manga count meanwhile is inflated by things ending, including some of the current Weekly Jump stuff. I was sad about Kaedegami ending especially as Volume 1 hadn’t even come out yet. T_T I also went back and finished off Piano Duo for the Left Hand, which had been lingering in the digital backlog for a long time.

I wasn’t intentionally clearing novels out of the backlog, but that’s what ended up happening there as well. Wouldn’t be a bad thing if that continued into next month, but we’ll see…
