"What should I read next?" Megathread

Japanese Reading

I’m still reading 西の魔女が死んだ | L27 but I thought I might as well get this one started early. Which one should I start first? As before, I’ll close after I finish the next ヴァンパイア大使アンジュ (might take a while). Thanks again :wave:

I finished ヴァンパイア大使アンジュ #5 so I closed this one and started タイム・リープ<上> あしたはきのう | L30 today. It feels just like 時をかける少女 | L25 (but even better??). I mean it’s literally called Time Leap, I wonder if it was inspired by it. Toki seems like a pretty popular story so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. Anyway, I think I’m going to enjoy this one. I didn’t really like 西の魔女が死んだ but it looks like I was right to not lose faith in Natively voters. Maybe I should read more SF. :thinking:

I just read a few pages of the English version of 棺担ぎのクロ。～懐中旅話～ to gauge if it’s as interesting as the cover suggests, and… damn straight it is. Thanks for posting this!

I am contributing to the 吸血鬼 Appreciation Society by reading and grading a children’s book featuring vampires, and you — yes, you! — are contributing by voting for which one I read.

Children’s vampire books let’s gooooooo
  • 44bbfc38-b3c4-4a79-8408-bb15f3a9c723
    霧島くんは普通じゃない The heroine falls in love with a hot vampire boy who has two hot vampire boy brothers he doesn’t get along with. Also, he has a pet mink. Has the best art of the three options.
  • d3479dbd-b5c3-40ea-b063-6c0d5121c005
    ヴァンパイア溺愛パラダイス The heroine’s childhood best friend turns out to be, surprise! a hot vampire boy, who joins a club at school for hot vampire boys with wacky colored hair. Is this Ouran Host Club but with vampires? Gosh I hope so.
  • 90fec716-0f69-4db7-84ea-95b91ca96b2e
    ドラキュラの町で、二人は The heroine gets bitten by a vampire cat named Draculala. There’s a hot vampire boy in there probably but who cares about that when there’s a vampire cat named Draculala.

Apparently, I’m the only one who tried to maximize the number of hot vampire boys. :thinking:

Not anymore! Usually I’d also be on the side of the cats, but here I want to find out if it truely is “Ouran Host Club but with vampires” (without having to read it and being potentially disappointed).

I am surprised but delighted that ドラキュラの町で、二人は has won, and will let you all know if it lives up to the Draculala hype.

Alright I finished my last book so it’s finally time for me to start book #2 of the October 吸血鬼 marathon. It looks like 人外サーカス | L33 has won this round. I’m guessing that you guys voted for this one because the description of “Vampires vs the circus :clown_face:” sounds absolutely ridiculous. I’ll let you guys know if it’s actually as crazy as it sounds.

Good day Natively, I know that I am taking absolutely forever to finish 人外サーカス but I thought I might as well start this next one up.

かがみの孤城 is my favorite book in Japanese so far, so I recommend that one! At 550 pages it is a bit long as you said, but I think it’s a relatively quick read since it’s on the easier side. I read the whole thing in about 2.5 weeks, which is about how long I usually spend reading a 300 page book.

I voted for Tearmoon, since I’m a proponent of continuing reading series that’ve already been started that and I need to finish my own volume of Tearmoon…

The poll time’s not quite over yet, but the overwhelming consensus seems to be かがみの孤城, so that’s what I’ll be reading next. Thanks for the help, everyone!
