Reading a bit of Honzuki no Gekokujo - it's an isekai about a book-loving girl who dies and gets reincarnated as a child of a peasant family in a world where books are rare and valuable, and even paper is far too expensive for her family to buy. She decides she'll make her own books, starting with creating her own paper.
Bit of light, easy reading.

^ Hey, who knew a year later I'd be working for the company that publishes the above?
But yeah, recently picked up the first couple of volumes of Princess Jellyfish. Watched the anime ages ago and really loved it. The translator must have had a hell of a time with this one, it's full of so many weird references, slang, and puns. Better them than me! Anyway, really enjoy this series.
Also just read through the first chapter of Tegamibachi/Letter Bee on a whim. Interesting sort of world it sets up. Slightly reminds me of D.Gray-man, slightly of Nausicaa (that's maybe just the rather desolate environments and the giant insect monsters though). Not sure if I'll continue it. Maybe.
For anyone interested, I discovered recently that you can read a ton of Shonen Jump titles on the official website or app for a $2/month subscription. Seems like a great deal, which I think I'll take up.

Finished reading "Bunny Drop" and was quite surprised by the way it ended... Something I didn't see coming and also found out that the story was made into both a 'live action' and an 'Anime'. I think that I'll look and see of I can locate one or the other...
After I finished Bunny Drop, I finished a non-fiction book by George Bird Grinnel book, "The Fighting Cheyenne", copyrighted in 1915, comprised of eyewitness tales of different fights between The Cheyenne and American troops and civilians. It also contains mention of scraps with other Indian Tribes such as different nations of Sioux; Kiowa; Blackfoot; Arapaho; Apache along with both the Northern and Southern Bands of Cheyenne... Many of these witnesses, both Indian, Army and Civilian were still alive and interviewed and known to the author.
I have been interested in North American Indian cultures since I was in Jr High School... haha, even have a couple of English dictionaries in Algonquin and Lakota Sioux... Never planned to learn, just have them out of curiousity ...
hahaha, just remembered, I still have some of the books that I collected from back then, including "Black Elk Speaks"...

There was a popular live action series of that story a few years ago. Have you ever seen it?

Densha Otoko was a pretty big franchise in general for a while, so there probably was a movie at some point, but the one I know of is a TV series. I've never seen it myself, I just know it was quite a phenomenon at the time.
