The moon on a rainy night is so far an amazing read (23 chapters). It takes place in high school and is pretty standard when it comes to manga but with a twist, one of the characters, Kanon, has a disability, namely she’s deaf and there are certain things in a normal day to day life that is much more difficult for someone with a hearing disability. The other girl, Saki, is pretty much from the beginning hinted at being gay but without stating it. This makes for a pretty interesting plot when these two find each other. Kanon who is struggling with getting by ... in class cuz of her hearing disability and Saki who’s feelings for Kanon grows to be more than friendly. Saki is also an avid learner of the piano so there are some themes around that as well as themes surrounding equality vs fairness which is just great to read.

The cast of The moon on a rainy night is quite colourful, it starts off mostly focusing on the two girls as they grow closer but the mangaka does a good job of introducing more and more characters, without losing sight of the main characters, and giving them depth. There’s even an older (older than our main character, so not very old) lesbian woman who becomes a part of the story and works like a “mentor” sort of for mc when she’s struggling with lgbtq issues. Also shoutout to great parents in this story!


If you like a story with focus on diversity, disability, lgbtq, piano and maybe a tad philosophy then give this amazing story a read. Would recommend with all my heart. Also the girls are just so darn cute I just cannot!!!

9/10 as of now, might become a favourite in the future if I like it as much as now to the end, might even become a 10/10 if they can stick the landing.

Oshi no ko s2 is a love letter from Doga Kobo to the fans and to the story. It is by far one of the best manga to anime adaptations that exists, regardless if you like it or not. As a manga reader I’m thoroughly touched by the passion and love they’ve put into this anime. I absolutely loved the show, and am extremely happy with the adaptation. Season 3 being confirmed the minute after the last episode ended is mental and proves how successful the series is.

Please give it a watch if you enjoyed oshi no ko s1, imo s2 is even better ... with great voice actors, good music, amazing story and the visuals are absolute eye candy!

First I should say that Throw Away the Suit Together is a manga that goes the realistic route, there is no fairytale happily ever after where everything is perfect. If you are looking for a solely cute slice of life in the sticks, then this work is probably not for you.

The manga starts off really fantastical and dreamy with how two girlfriends break away from their stressful day to day life in the city and moves to a small island where they feel like settling down. But like most young adults realise, life isn’t always going to be as you expect. As someone who’s ... done something similar, and failed miserably at it I might add, I was quite happy to see the mangaka depict the harsh reality that life can be. It does a wonderful job with making the two main characters go through very realistic scenarios and struggles that a lot of people will feel somewhat familiar with. I for one want to praise it for taking the very realistic approach.

The one big downside for me is that the end should have been dragged out a bit more, but I assume the manga got axed or something similar. That doesn’t mean the ending is bad, I still really liked it, but it did feel somewhat rushed.

I’d give it 8/10 and would probably have rated it higher if the ending didn’t feel rushed.
