• Chapter Book:
  
  1. The Changelings: A Classical Japanese Court Tale - Torikaebaya Monogatari (とりかへばや物語, literally "If only I could exchange them! story") translated to English by Rosette F. Willig.
     - Borrowed from ILL.
     - a Japanese tale from the late Heian period (794 to 1185) by an unknown author.
     - The story is about half sibling, gender bender. Girl pretending to be boy and vice versa.
     - Interesting court life for both.
• Anime:
  
  1. Kuroko's basketball 2 epi 1
     - Crunchyroll.
     - I was on pins and needles last week waiting for the announcement from Crunchyroll on this. Finally, they announced it on Friday! Phew!
• Manga:
  
  1. A Devil and Her Love Song 11 by Miyoshi Tomori - ebook on Viz app.
     - Maria and Shin are now a couple, but both of them still don't communicate well. Maria's voice hasn't come back. Shin is doing better at letting Maria know that he wants her to rely on him more. But he's disappointed in himself because he wants to protect his injured hand instead of jumping in water to save Maria.
     - Meanwhile Yusuke is at the right moment and does it for him. Poor Shin, I guess he has to come to term with his personality isn't really a white shining armored knight!
     - I don't care much for father John. I guess, I felt that the forgiveness he got was a bit too quick! and he doesn't seem like a monster for the terrible thing he did to Anna, Maria's mother.
     - Overall a good volume.
     - 2 more volumes to go.
  2. Dawn of the Arcana 11 by Rei Toma - ebook on Viz app

  3. Children of the Sea 5 - The end by Daisuke Igarashi

     - This volume has amazing art and full of symbolism some of which went over my head!
