Have you read "Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World" by Mark Waddell? 😅

Sarah D. recommends it: "A lively, humorous adventure about an overlooked office worker who unwittingly triggers world‑ending chaos. Action‑filled with a charming LGBTQ romance thread. Perfect for readers who enjoyed Assistant to the Villain and Boyfriend Material."

Have you read "Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms" by Fumiyo Kouno? 🌸💕

This touching manga tells two stories about life in Hiroshima in the years after the atomic bomb. It's stunning work that will stay with the reader long after they finish reading.
