Hey there! I’m NessieMonsterly, and I’m a librarian, a longtime fangirl, a fortysomething year old, and am practicing my manga reviewing. This blog is my personal journey to refine my writing, share my love of manga (and maybe anime) and hopefully connect people with the manga just for them. Currently, I’m big into josei manga, but I read many manga.
My current favorites that I will be writing about soon are Hi Score Girl, Knight of the Ice, The Way of the House Husband, Blank Canvas, Princess Jellyfish, A Sign of Affection, and Spy x Family. Some old favorites are InuYasha, Maison Ikkoku, Chobits, Blade of the Immortal, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Full Metal Panic, Chrno Crusade, and Fruits Basket.
In addition to trying to keep up with all of the new and exciting manga, another goal of mine is to revisit classic manga, particularly ones I haven’t read yet. Even though I’ve been reading manga since my late teens/early 20s, there are a lot of series that I overlooked or couldn’t access at the time (i.e. late 1990s/early 2000s). In addition, I’m curious to reread manga that I haven’t read in years to see how my thoughts about them may have changed.
As a fortysomething year old, one thing I’ve learned is that I should never stop learning or striving to improve. I look forward to sharing this part of my journey with you!
