They look so cute! This will be the first Moomin book I read so I don’t really know what to expect, haha. Have you read yours already?

I haven’t read it in Japanese, but I’ve read a couple of them in English when I was trying to learn what the Moomins are, because it seemed like everyone knew but me. They’re super cute and unique!

It’s me again… This is what 積ん読 is made of. 
Today’s loot:
よつばと! 16 | L16 (pretty self explanatory!)
ペルソナ×探偵NAOTO (電撃文庫 ま 12-4) | L26?? (I’ve had my eye on this and really happy to find it in the 110¥ section! Was hoping to find some other SMT novels as well but not luck there)
Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活Ex5 緋色姫譚 | L35 (although I haven’t read any of the other 4 EX novels I own. 
Reminder to self to get back to this series!)
(Ainu folktales)
改訂版 アイヌの物語世界 平凡社ライブラリー | L30?? (my cover looks different but I think it’s the same book. I hope it’s written well! I think this is such an interesting topic)
三月は深き紅の淵を | L30?? (part 1 of that series I was talking about in my earlier post! They didn’t have number 3 unfortunately, but I can now read books 1&2! )
https://learnnatively.com/book/bf8e823550/ (I thought this might be a nice companion book for when I finally start those novels 
I should probably stop buying for future me or something)
日本語の考古学 岩波新書 | L34?? (hopefully interesting!)
女が読む太宰治 ( 109) | L28?? (a bunch of essays by women about reading Dazai)
I was obviously browsing a different section today, haha. I’ve been meaning to give non fiction a bit more attention and these seemed interesting. I had to (not surprisingly) add most of these to natively.

I don’t know either! (To be changed soon 
) I’ve only ever seen illustrations of them. Looking forward to reading this in the next couple weeks.

Well at this point you might as well buy まちカドまぞく and join our book club.

I did actually think about that, but didn’t see it casually scanning the manga isles. I’d have to find out what those are sorted by…

Ooh that sounds interesting. Would love to hear your thoughts when you get around to it!

Hobunsha is the publisher if that helps. And it’s part of Manga Time Kirara.

Whenever I’m next in the mood for some essays.
Noted! I’m not actually sure what info I need, but I do think one of those should be what it’s under. Is it a bigger book or standard manga size?

Manga Time KR 4-koma are usually (always?) larger sized. Ex:
(Angle was weird, so they are actually lined up, despite how it looks)

Yeah I think one is the publisher, which is why I mentioned it. And it is oversized. A5 I think? Whatever size 8.3 inches tall is.

Nice

I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on this when you’re done! I’d love to give some of the earlier SMT I/II/if/the original original books a shot one day. I’ve had クォンタムデビルサーガ | L30 in my TBR for a while.

Got some new volumes of 幻惑の鼓動 | L28 in! Look at those vague covers, haha. No chance of spoilers there. I don’t even know who’s on the cover half the time…

I’m back! Since I couldn’t find everything in stores I ordered some online. Book club books & books I’ve already read & would want to re read.
Not in the picture: 黒死館殺人事件 | L51??, since it arrived on its own and I already posted about it in the BC thread.
The first three volumes of 美しい彼 | L30 for my library and re-reading purposes. Volumes 3.5&4 were still a bit expensive for my liking, since I do own them digitally already so I passed on them for now.
https://learnnatively.com/book/a42e80adfc/ because it’s my favorite Yokomizo and there’ll be a re-read club. 
https://learnnatively.com/book/bc74ea7441/ for the BC.
And a game I’ll probably be playing in English but I wanted the Japanese edition 付属.
The last time I went to book off in person I picked up these:
Two missing volumes from 十二国記シリーズ | L33-38 series and all 5 volumes of Paradise Kiss | L27
