APADFTMOM Day 28: High Priority Reading: Claymore

If I have a chance to talk about my reading calendar, I’ll talk about my reading calendar. At the end of February I bought a calendar for the sole purpose of giving myself daily reading goals so I could read consistently while also finishing things that I had dropped out of laziness. It’s worked wonderfully so far and with the end of the month on the horizon, it’s about time to fill up June. For May I decided to buckle down and finish reading Claymore, which I started and dropped a few years ago for no particular reason. I loved it. We’re talking about it today.

APADFTMOM Day 17: High Priority Reading: Made in Abyss

I’m going to level with you: The idea behind High Priority Reading was to give me a reason to write about today’s series. There are some series that I love which are well-respected and do a lot of things, if not everything, right, but writing about them is a little difficult since it’s hard to focus on just one of those things. Each individual part can be executed almost flawlessly, but sometimes those parts all compliment each other so well that the work as a whole is exponentially better than each aspect of it. Today we’ll be looking at Made in Abyss, which is one such series.

APADFTMOM Day 12: High Priority Reading: Enen no Shouboutai

As we continue our month of experimentation, I want to try yet another new approach to this. Welcome to High Priority Reading, which will be a curation of recommendations for some of my personal favorite series that I recommend whenever somebody asks me what I like. We won’t dive too deeply into any one aspect of a series with this. Our goal is to have a general overview of the topic, touch on a few key characters, and check out some of the lighter aspects without going into a full high school book report. Today’s manga series is Enen no Shouboutai, known also by its western release title Fire Force.
