im REALLY interested in how the enchantment Percy used to protect her feelings from Leeds will affect their future relationship. its really interesting how were already seeing how were already seeing a little just how much Leeds relied on his familiar abilities to be able to know something as simple as how close she is physically to not bump her to naturally being able to read Percys tru feelings.

which isnt a bad things, its all hes known and most times its a burden more than an aide. but here Percy is someone he considers a friend, someone he cares about. and all of a sudden he feels this disconnect with her that he doesnt really know how to deal with. 

this budding with Percys own complicated feelings towards Leeds, im really interested to see how this creates possible friction or conflict further on. or possible forces them to work more on their communication? interesting

Persephone Chiaki Mori is a wizard school dropout! In another life, she was top of her class at the Academy, a prestigious university responsible for training young minds in the practice of magic. That was then.  Now, she’s working the only job she can get– as an assistant to Leeds, the monstrous superintendent of an apartment building.

A thief breaks into the building and casts a spell that sends Percy and Leeds to a dangerously unstable plane of existence. That’s a problem when you have baggage, because it manifests in strange and unpredictable ways. Now Percy has to face aspects of herself she’d been trying to ignore– and that’s while searching for Leeds and a way to bring them both home with their selves intact.

“Wander” by Yuko Ota and Ananth Hirsh

(Grade 6 and up) Living in the U.S. and having family in Japan and India means that Yuko Ota and Ananth Hirsh have traveled a lot in the past decade. Yuko has made several trips to Japan with her dad, and Yuko and Ananth got married in India: then in later years, they took vacations to Japan and Hawaii. Long flights and jet lag have been worth it to eat great food, see amazing sights, and enjoy the majesty of cute animals all over the world. (Mostly cats and dogs, but the zoo in Hawaii had a coconut crab.)

This collection of travel comics is a fun follow-up to Our Cats Are More Famous Than Us: A Johnny Wander Omnibus, but it’s also a fantastic book to read at this specific moment in time, when a lot of us are thinking about trips we’d like to take but aren’t able to now. Come for the travel stories, stay for the great illustrations of food and cats that you’ll want to encounter in real life as soon as possible…but probably you can’t just yet. Read this and look forward to traveling again someday. (4.5 out of 5 stars)

  • Paperback, First Edition 
  • 102 pages

The Reuben award-winning series returns! BARBAROUS is back with a Kickstarter for the Chapter 4 book

You can also pick up the first three books if you missed them, along with other rewards!

In another life, Persephone Mori was the top of her class at the Academy, the branch of ALMIA responsible for training young minds in the practice of magic. That was then. Now, she’s assistant to Leeds, the beastly superintendent of an apartment building, and she likes that her new job keeps her busy enough to forget that she’s a wizard college dropout. Well… usually.

Lately, Leeds has been preoccupied with her connection to the Academy, putting their budding friendship at a simmer. Percy’s trying to keep her cool, but she’s no saint, and it’s only a matter of time before things between them get explosive.

BARBAROUS has magic, drama, pasts shrouded in mystery, and more drama! Can Percy make a place for herself? Will Leeds make room for her? They could probably relate, if they could just chill for a minute…

✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨
