I finally finished my report writing this week at work...only to then proceed to leave for vacation. I have had a series of hops, skips, and jumps across my home country and found myself visiting some of my wife's family out in Los Angeles for now. All that said to preface the fact I won't be able to post much over the next week or two. In fact, I will often not be able to check what's going on at all. To that end...
I would like to welcome Kadath, @Thade780@lemmy.world, to the moderation team for the community. She has very graciously agreed to be another set of eyes to screen reports, watch for spam, etc. I look forward to working together with the community's resident villainess moderator to make this a better place for everybody (note that I have in no way cleared that title with Kadath).
That aside, I was able to read a little bit.
- Tsuitenai Game Jikkyousha wa Akogare no Hito ni Kakinsareru - This series just had its final chapter with chapter 21. I had no idea that it was coming to an end though. However, the ending was actually nice! It won't go down as one of my favorites ever, but it did a good job depicting a romcom set in university and some of the parasocial complications that must arise when livestreamers interact with fans.
- Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi / A Hungry Mother and Daughter and Her Ex-Boyfriend Landlord - I found this series this past week and it is pretty much what it says on the tin. Imagine an ex from 19 years ago shows up at your door with a young child and hungry. Would you offer to let them live with you? Well, our MC does. It's only four chapters in, so not sure yet if this is going to be mom and daughter hijinx or if this is going to be a bit more on the serious/drama side. Willing to let this one go for a bit to find its voice.
