If I had read "Magus of the Library" when I was younger, I would have become a librarian, guaranteed. The art, the characters, the plot, the worldbuilding, the passion for books and libraries! #manga#MagusOfTheLibrary
Immer mehr Etos tauchen auf - und man rätselt, welches Tier sie wohl sind. Gibt auch weitere Einblicke in Torus Vergangenheit bzw die Zeit mit ihrer Mutter. Aber es werden auch ernstere Töne angeschlagen.
Oh, endlich wird's noch spannender! Ein großes Geheimnis wird gelüftet und man bekommt mehr Einblicke in die Gemüter und Gefühle der Charaktere. Da wachsen sie einem immer mehr ans Herz 💖
So langsam nimmt die Geschichte mehr Fahrt auf. Man bekommt mehr Hintergrundinfos und lernt alle besser kennen. Auch macht man sich so eine Gedanken zu allen.
Der Plot ist interessant & man will definitiv mehr erfahren & wissen, wie's weitergeht. Die Charaktere sind noch etwas ungeschliffen & ich verwechsel sie noch ein wenig, das ändert sich aber sicherlich noch 😄
So, I have talked about how I've been doing a side-by-side comparison of stats for Instagram and Pixelfed by posting the same photos on both accounts.
Well, my pics tend to fall into certain well defined categories. So, I have been sorting the photos into the following and comparing average number of likes: Cats, Food, Flowers, Manga, and Selfies.
Based on these broad categories, I noticed a few hings. More info in the following toots.
Since January 2024 - here has been the average likes per post for those categories:
Cats - 25 (Insta), 35 (Pixelfed)
Food - 17 (Insta), 8 (Pixelfed)
Flowers / Bloomscrolling - 22 (Insta), 24 (Pixelfed)
Manga - 28 (Insta), 5 (Pixelfed)
Selfies - 25 (Insta), 10 (Pixelfed)
Toys - 20 (Insta), 8 (Pixelfed)
So, a few patterns emerge. First, there is not a lot of people noticing my manga posts on Pixelfed. That's apparent.
Second, the Fediverse loves cats. More so than Instagram! Same with flowers / bloomscrolling.
Food, selfies, and toy posts tend to average about the same per post on Pixelfed. 8-10 likes on average.
On Insta, selfies, manga, and cats do best. On Pixelfed, cats, flowers, and selfies do best.
Basically, on either platform - you can't go wrong with cat pics or selfies.
Now, on Insta, part of the manga boost is that I've been kind of into Mangagram - sharing posts, interacting with posts, etc on manga. Then again, I don't see a lot of manga in general on Pixelfed. Maybe it's me!
Sehr melancholischer & tiefgründiger Titel.
Durch die Zeichnungen wirken die Charaktere lebendig & ihre Emotionen sehr real. Ich mag es, wie das alles vermittelt und nichts beschönigt wird.
Sehr düster & melodramatisch.
Das Gedankenkarussell beginnt & man überlegt, was man in der Situation denken & machen würde. Optisch wirken die Figuren etwas "schmal", bekommen aber viel Farbe und Emotionen.
#Manga - I also picked up It Looks Like My Son Has Been Reincarnated into Another World recently. The Manga explores the very unique way a mother handles her grief after losing her son. After getting obsessed over his LN collection, she convinced herself that her son got isekai'd and meets up with the weeb from her high school class to get help with following her son.
It's a very interesting premise with a lot of potential. So far, I've read one volume and I'll definitely continue reading it, even if I have to pick a few bones with it in the following toot...
For my long-running project of reading all Year 24 Group Manga, I recently picked up Hagio Motos "They Were Eleven" (1975). It was a fine Manga, but it's also far from my favorite from the Group or even Hagio Moto herself.
It feels like the art took a step back, compared to The Poe Clan, which seems rather sad, considering it was its strongest feature.
Aside from that, the story actually has some great aspects, a good mystery (with a somewhat lackluster reveal), interesting ideas about different cultures in space and a lot of drama. It made a fun 4 chapter read. Overall, it's not amazing, but I'd still recommend it 👌👌
Wirkt zuerst ganz süß, wird dann aber doch recht schnell ernst. Teilweise etwas arg dramatisiert, aber ganz niedliche & schöne Kurzreihe.
Zwischendurch wollte ich aber Aki & Shinobi mal so richtig durchschütteln 😂
Shadow Eliminators just ended this week. Another week with another series I was reading ending.
However, don't feel that bad about this one. If this series didn't end, I was about to drop it anyway. It went from a story a week with a teenager who could summon spirits to fight evil spirits, freeing them of the burden.
That said, when it started to do world building, IMO, it faltered and the world they built became unnecessarily convoluted.
Da passiert noch richtig was. Sehr viele Emotionen, Hintergrundstories, Verlauf, kleine Twists.. liebe die Welt und Charaktere! Die Entwicklung ist auch mega gut! Sehr rundes Ende. Must-Read! 💖
