I adore her feisty personality throughout the volume. Hanako Koyanagi is possibly my favourite character, however. It makes their relationship completely plausible and adorable. Her interaction with Hirotaka is perfect they’re polar opposites, her being open with her emotions and excitement, while he is more poker-faced and reserved they balance each other out. She’s kind, caring, and incredibly sweet the fact that everyone loves her is believable – you can’t help but not route for her the entire volume. Narumi Momose made for an adorable protagonist. I’m so excited to delve more in the story as it progresses now too. I remember absolutely adoring this manga when I first read it as an eARC a few years ago, however, after discovering it in a store a few months back, I couldn’t help but pick it up. However, after meeting each other, they discover that by sharing their love of geeky things, romance comes easy. Otaku, Narumi Momose and Hirotaka Nifuji, find comfort in their interests in fictional worlds, meaning they’re fairly unsuccessful at dating. ‘Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku’ is a romantic comedy manga that tells the story of two childhood friends that return to each others lives at the same workplace.

It is meant to be a “proto-type community of tomorrow”. Kate's journal tells us the high tech, ultra-green village of Greenloop was founded by the vision and passion of a tech billionaire.

At the behest of her psychotherapist, she keeps a journal of her move, settling-in period, and ultimately the events which lead to the massacre. She hopes to get a fresh start on life and in her marriage. Together with her husband Dan, she moves to the town of Greenloop, Washington. The majority of the story is related from the perspective of a young woman named Kate Holland. He did, but stick with it because it’s worth it. And if your like me, you’re thinking, “Sasquatches? Really?! You went from zombies with big foot?!” Okay. It gives you that much on the cover of the book. I'm not really giving anything away here. The story involves the massacre of the fictional town of Greenloop, Washington by a group of Sasquatch. Could he do it again? Would I once again be transported to a world of unparalleled hell and desolation filled with insightful cultural commentary? The short answer is, hell yes! So it was with excitement, and some trepidation, that I turned to Brooks’ most recent work, Devolution. When people ask me what my favorite non-Stephen King horror books are, World War Z is always somewhere high on the list. I am an utterly unapologetic fan of Max Brook’s 2006 zombie apocalypse book, World War Z. August also recalls the night her father moved them away from their mother to Brooklyn. When their father allows August and her brother to leave their home, August befriends the three girls. August remembers meeting Sylvia, Gigi and Angela for the first time. The novel jumps back into August’s childhood and recollects how her mother used to talk to her dead brother and how her father suddenly moved them to a different home, to live without their mother. August gets an irrational urge to escape from Sylvia. On the subway, she recognizes one of her childhood friends, Sylvia. Finding herself back in Brooklyn, August has a feeling of unease, despite living her life as an anthropologist who should have no fear of death. When her father suddenly dies, and August reunites with her brother, he suggests that she should marry a Muslim man. August has a brother and father who are religious and follow the teachings of the nation of Islam. The novel follows August, a woman who spent her childhood living with the thought that her mother isn’t actually dead, despite her not being there.
