Day 30 – Weekly Reads (12th to 18th)

I been a bit lazy this week when it came to reading, since I had a lot going on and then followed by my current addiction of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope on the  PS4, honestly, it’s a lot of fun and I am super pleased to have it on the PlayStation, even though the Switch could use some games but it wasn’t in stock. Anyway, back to the manga, I finished about 10 volumes this week and currently reading Gantz G volume 1.

So here is my list this week:

• The Promised Neverland vol. 2 – 8
• I want to eat your Pancreas Omnibus
• Pokémon Adventures vol. 1

So, it’s hard to choose a favourite since The Promised Neverland is still ongoing and getting really interesting, especially that tasty storyline, wow, that just blew me away and I love how everything is starting to come together as well as meeting all the new characters. I cannot get enough of this series, I already have 9 ordered, thanks to the lovely Mousey, and waiting for that sweet release date, this also applies to Platinum End, which is being read after Gantz G.

The other amazing read of the week is I want to eat your Pancreas.
Without a doubt, it’s the saddest story I have read this year. It follows an introverted man as he finds out a secret about the most popular girl and that is, she is going to die of Pancreatic disease. Not wanting to get close, he somehow ended up being her friend and they go on an amazing adventure of friendship and changes. 

I love the story for that, I love seeing characters come together and bring out sides of each other they never really had. The ending was bound to happen, but it still is like a punch to the gut and you are left with a sadness, since it felt like I lost a friend, in a way. As much as I feel like it’s spoiling the story, well kind of isn’t going to spoil much since it was already known that Sakura was not going to live. I still feel the sadness as I reflect on the story but at the same time, I do not regret reading it, but I do regret not grabbing the light novel. I hope to obtain that one day.

Pokémon Adventures wouldn’t be the worst read of this week, just in the middle section if there were others to compete with. I really enjoyed this series, even if I didn’t find it appealing at first but now it has inspired me to consider buying the box set of the Red and Blue story arc.
I do eventually wish to obtain the whole Pokémon collection, but I plan to do so in boxset form since it’s a lot cheaper that way and would look pretty nifty on my shelf as a group. I know there is about 4 other boxsets, but I haven’t looked more deeply than the first few volumes.

I am unsure of what else to add since I am not really feeling too great, the weather is not really helping and I am also having a huge itch to go play more Harvest Moon cause I really want my big house in that so I can actually store stuff instead of carrying everything around. Until then, hopefully I read more books and be able to talk more deeply about them.
