Another week in quarantine. I hope you all are getting through it fine. That your families are staying safe. My mother gave me a bit of fright this week when she asked me to call her. I was dreading learning someone had COVID. Instead, she was telling my grandfather had to go into a nursing home because he’s falling all the time. He’s a big guy (I’m 6’1″ and he’s taller than me). My grandmother (who’s like 5’3″) can’t help him stand.
It was a strange reminder that more is happening in the world than the pandemic. He’s been needing extra help for some time now. Either a live-in nurse or a nursing home. He realized it and made the decision for himself.
In writing news, I’ve been thinking about what to write after Futa’s Mind-Controlling Panties. I’m envisioning a series of a futa who has a king for MILFs and their daughters. So some mother-daughter-futa fun coming soonish.
This week I TRIED to read Interspecies Review, the manga in a fantasy world bout adventurers going to monster girl brothels and reviewing them prostitutes. It’s an interesting concept. I really thought I would enjoy it, but I couldn’t even finish it.
Big disappointment.
The art isn’t great and there’s no real sex in it. All the fun stuff happens off-screen and then you get a score cared where each of the adventure rates it. A human, an elf, and then it’s either a halfling, angel, dog-man, and once a lamia giving their view on it.
This is more for the humor than the sexy times. And while sometimes it’s humorous reading the reports, this is a manga and they are doing a lot of TELLING and very little showing.
Though, the beginning with the human adventure bragging to his elf friend about how great elven women are. The elf adventure is grossed out because the elven prostitutes are all 500 or more years old. Human doesn’t care because they look like young and nubile girls to him. Then the elf adventure is talking about this fifty-year-old human prostitute he likes. She looks well-used and haggard to us humans, but to an elf, her being 50 is so young. It’s like barely legal stuff for him.
Sadly, it just didn’t click for me after that.
So I started reading Our Wonderful Life, a yuri (lesbian) high school slice of life romance manga series. It follows four friends who are starting their first year of high school. None have seen each other in years. They have fun personalities that play off each other which makes it amusing to read. And then you see the budding feelings between two of the girls.
Koharu hasn’t seen her old friend Mafuyu since she moved to Tokyo. Now she’s moved back and both girls are feeling an attraction. Neither one really is understanding what they’re feeling, but they get all cute and blushy around each other. It’s adorable.
It’s also fun to read a series that doesn’t take place in Tokyo. They are out in a small town with two of the girls commuting in from a village so small they were the only two girls in their grade during elementary and junior high school. Another girl just moved back from Tokyo which really impresses our excitable village girl.
All in all, I am glad I picked this up.
I nearly finished reading Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Vol 1. I knew that the character Rem, whom I have several figures of, came from this series. So I was interested. To my surprise, she’s not even in the first light novel, at least not in the character gallery in the beginning. Though she’s on the cover for book 2.
This one launches you right into the story. It’s an Isekai, but it starts in media res with Suburu, our main character, bleeding to death while a girl says she’ll save him. Then it cuts to him, a slacker high school student who just bought a bag of chips and some instant ramen at the convenience store, appearing in this world. He’s confused. Doesn’t know where he is.
He immediately gets jumped. Beaten up. There are some hilarious parts when a bunny girl thief runs by and he thinks she’ll help but she’s too busy running. Then our girl in white appears and she, too, appears like she’ll help only to reveal she’s after the thief. But she does save him and he decides to help her get what she stole back from him.
And this leads to the interesting twist of this series: he’s in a time loop.
It’s interesting to read. There’s a mystery here. Why was Satella’s badge stolen, who is the mysterious person who guts him, and more! The time resets are different each time as he does a different thing. it’s a fun premise but I wonder how long this can be sustained? So far, I’m enjoying it.
This week on iStripper, there’s sexy Belka – Cup Half Full that was my favorite show of the week. She’s just a delight to see. Always fun and flirty. She’s looking delicious this week.
