Currently romanticizing the thought of picking an author I like and reading as many of their works as I can get my tiny little raccoon hands on >:3 Who's an author you're obsessed with right now, and why? How many of their works have you read?

I was wondering when we’re able to update our 2026 reading challenge. Do we have to wait until the new year? If so are most people building a monthly plan then updating your 2026 goal?

I've noticed that a lot of people get a ton of reading done around the holiday season with all the time off and cozy atmosphere. But for me this season is my biggest reading slump season. It's the busiest time of year at my job and finding time to sit down and enjoy a book seems almost impossible. Between November and January my book counts always drop off a cliff no matter what I do. Does anyone else have a specific time of year where this happens?

I have nothing to say...The whole series was...I don't even know how to describe it..
I am considering this ending a happy one, finally, the cycle of abusive parenting will end, Sei is his own person, and cannot remember that monster of a mother. And let's not forget about Fukiishi, who will probably be the mother she never had to her daughters. I couldn't ask for more!
Thank you Shuzo Oshimi for this twisted and amazing story!

Welp. I guess that's the conclusion Shuzo Oshimi chose.
I very much dislike that the last chapter and the author's note completely re-contexualize this entire goddamn series, but it also sort of explains the last few volumes and how they felt so disconnected from the entire rest of the series post-time jump. It explains it, but I still don't have to like it.
The first part of this series is still fantastic, and the art is the true storyteller here. I just wish it ended better.

I'm not sure how I feel about this volume.
Overall, like for the whole series, I actually enjoyed it. The behind was a lot stronger than the end. And the artwork was top tier, idk how the author made someone's blank express fill me with such dread.
This volume specifically, the artwork is still good. I'm glad Sei doesn't remember his mother's face and that he feels free. But, I wish there was more. I wanted him to figure out who he was, I wanted more cathartic closure for him.
I would still recommend this series. But in my brain, he punched him mom in the face at least once. OR the cops and justice system actually did something!
