It’s the first of October which can only mean one thing – It’s reading log time! With the busy season at work extending into a lot of September I suspect I won’t have read too much more than last month, but let’s find out.

Six months through the year, the backlog continues to tower but it was a quieter month for new arrivals so I’ve been playing catchup with my reading while playing more Zelda and Final Fantasy 16.

It has been a busy month! Lots of new manga and light novels arriving, and work picking up again. I’m hoping to have read away a little bit of the backlog in these last few weeks, but let’s see how I’ve done.

Made it through April somehow! As usual, work got busy over Easter and I spent a good chunk of time gaming as I aimed to (and achieved) finishing Tales of Arise at long last. But I still found plenty of time to read too, so let’s see what I read away this month.
Three months into the year, unbelievably. A difficult time for manga fans in the UK as Kodansha revealed US exclusive K Manga. Although I suppose that at least won’t be contributing to the backlog problem… Anyways let’s see how my reading went in March.
Time for the second reading log of 2023. I think the structure I implemented last month worked well, so going to keep that one going forward. Let’s take a look at how things worked out!
The first log of the year! This year I’ve decided to change things up a bit and split all the one-shots I read into a separate count since I’ve been reading an increasing amount and I don’t think they should hold the same weight as reading a whole volume of manga. So what I will probably do is structure the lists as manga > one-shots > light novels. For the sake of my sanity, I’m keeping the end of serialisations in with manga volumes, since I usually have read at least 4~ chapters a month and I feel like that should hold the same weight as a whole volume overall and I don’t want to add another heading. One-shots will all be JP unless otherwise stated and I won’t bother bolding them since, well, they’re done y’know.
With that said let’s get into my January log!
Final reading log of 2022! This time I can add in some fun stats and charts to see how my backlog and reading have been going this year. But first, let’s find out how much I read in December.
Almost Christmas time again aaaa. November has been a quieter month on the whole, so for once I feel like I’ve read more steadily than usual. Let’s get into what I’ve read!
After a reasonably quiet September, things got a bit nuts in October between work, flu jab, covid jab and then going to SLA. But hopefully, I’ve managed to keep the backlog under control somehow…
