Humble Bundle: Kodansha's Fall In Love With Shoujo

Kodansha is teaming up with Humble Bundle once again to bring you the Fall In Love With Shoujo collection!

This collection includes:

  • Shugo Chara!, volumes 1 thru 12
  • Shugo Chara Chan!, volumes 1 thru 4
  • Peach Girl, volumes 1 thru 18
  • Mars, volumes 1 thru 15
  • Say I Love You volumes 1 thru 18
  • A Condition Called Love, volumes 1 thru 16


  • You can get the entire bundle of manga for only $30 USD. That said, you can also get the first volume of each series for only $1 USD! All items are available as ePub and PDF.

    This bundle supports Book Industry Charitable Foundation, which has helped bookstore and comic book store employees and owners who encounter unexpected financial crises. The Binc Foundation works to keep book people in their homes, in their jobs, and with their families – stabilizing the brick and mortar bookstore community. With some bundles, you can pick which charity you want your donation to go to, but that doesn't seem to be the case with this one. If you scroll down on the right hand side of the Humble Bundle page, you can also find an area where you can adjust how much of your purchase goes to which organization (the charity, the publisher, and Humble Bundle, respectively), with a minimum mandatory amount to Humble Bundle as the host.

    With most manga ebook volumes costing around $7 USD (sometimes fifty cents less, sometimes a few dollars more), you only need to be interested in five of the volumes available in the complete bundle to justify the cost—and the total bundle has 83 volumes! That's just over thirty-six cents per tankoubon.

    You can find out more information about the various series at the Humble Bundle link. Definitely worth checking out if even one of the titles catches your interest, IMO.

    This bundle will close in about three weeks.

    Spy x Family Season 3 trailer

    Seems one of my top favorites has gotten its third season. Crunchyroll unveiled the trailer a day ago and was wise not revealing much in terms of spoiling it the context. I can't wait to watch it all when I can see it.


    Here's the link for said trailer

    2) May 20, 2026 through July 20, 2026.
    3) Either!
    4) Neither, but I have a different suggestion!

    inline? in-book? spoilers

    A friend warmly recommended a book series to me and I just started it, and It Is Fine! However!! The author is fond of peppering ominous "Little did I know this would be the last time I spoke to X" or "If only I had known what would happen next" or "Maybe if I'd done this instead of that, it wouldn't all have gone so wrong" and while I can enjoy one, maybe two well-placed ones per book, at this level I'm finding it massively irritating. I don't even like "vibes" spoilers in general! Nothing pisses me off more than comments like "oooh you guys are gonna suffer" from people who read leaks or advance previews of whatever's popular, especially when I usually make it clear I don't want to know a thing before I start!

    Right now it feels like I'm reading next to someone who goes "ooooh I wouldn't get too attached!!" whenever I think "oh I like this character", or "it's not going to go the way you think!!" when I simply thought to myself "hm interesting." Leave me alone!! 😂

    Just took a pause after hitting one of those around page 200, about midway in the book. I know these people's plans keep failing! Something always goes wrong!! People die!! I don't need the warnings anymore!!!!!!! XD

    Almost done with Area 88

    Only two more episodes of this thrilling anime. I remember watching the OVA from the 80s after my first experience with it from the Capcom arcade U.N. Squadron which was later ported to the SNES.

    I like the mix of dogfights and drama the anime incorporates. Not sure how it will end but I at least be happy that I've finished the 2000s version when I do.

    I also dig its opening them Mission(Fugga), I feel that it sets the tone highly well.

    Below a screencap of my favorite character who's also my favorite to choose in the videogame adaptation, Mickey Simon, who flies the ever awesome F-14 Tomcat.

    Images not loading on the reading page and some themes?

    Is anyone else having issues around images not loading on Dreamwidth, lately? For a few days (couple weeks?) I've noticed that my reading page often only shows the alt-text for pics especially for images hosted on Dreamwidth, though not only that (for example there are AO3 news on my reading page at the moment, but the logos don't load unless I open the original page).

    It's particularly visible on my [community profile] vriddywrites writing comm because none of the icons load, nor the header image. Does it all look fine for most of you? I rebooted my home router in case I had landed on a banned IP or something, but no dice. The background image on my journal here also loads just fine in general... Icons also have no problems. Huh... 🤔
