Mail Order Manga: Jun Mochizuki

Last night, I finished the 24th (“final”) volume of Pandora Hearts, so I’m a little on the emotionally wrung out side. Amazing story. Intriguing twists. Endearing characters. I’m quite attached … so I was happy to discover that there’s a final-final volume I need to nab (Vol. 24+1) and what looks like a prequel (Pandora Hearts: Caucus Race) and three official guides that promise more art and side stories. I really must complete my collection.

On a related note, I have the first volume in Jun Mochizuki’s next series on pre-order. Volume 1 of A Case Study of Vanitas is due to release in English on December 5, 2016. I’m in!

Pie Baking & Drabble Making

A Lord Charming reviewer nudged me this morning, hoping for an update to Clumsy. I promise, the story’s open on my desktop. I’ll try to sneak in a little writing time between the rice pudding and the pumpkin pies. (Home smells amazing the day before Thanksgiving!)

Wishing you spice and sweetness and silver linings. Be grateful… and show it in big and little ways! ::twinkle::

Elevenses [Darker than BLACK]

I’m making good on my threat to update my November 11 story on November 11. For those not familiar with the Darker than BLACK anime, suffice to say that throwing together Jack Simon (code name: November 11) and Misaki Kirihara is very alt shippy. And fun.
