A good book to reach the halfway mark on my yearly reading goal. This series is so wholesome and comforting. It reminds me to slow down and savor the everyday moments in life, and it nourishes my cottagecore dreams lol.

'Hakumei & Mikochi' vol 8 is delightful; just the sort of cozy cute slice-of-life that I love. This volume especially is impressive, with a chapter of amazing full-page illustrations as they explore a sea-side city, a pair of weasels (and a lizard and squirrel) going clothes shopping for fancy outfits, visits with new friends and old, and a comfortable lazy evening together. The foods look as amazing as always, and it's just full of charm as they enjoy their lives; I can't recommend this enough.

Illustrations amazing. Little vignettes of life. I got this because I love illustrations of towns and cities. Miniature people and animals living together “ordinary” lives. Very beautiful. Might consider reading others in the series but I really just wanted the “city” illustrations. So beautiful!

Not as good as others. I didn't like the chapter on cigarettes' or whatever but otherwise I love reading about Hakumei and Mikochi's life. The chapter on the animals getting the perfect outfit was one of my favorite chapters in this manga.

This series is as ever a balm to my soul. This volume is a little bit more of a collection of disjoint stories, but now that the world's been established it's a lovely way of just immersing oneself in it. And that is to a large degree the appeal here: the way in which the world is so detailed and the stories such an admixture of the quotidien and the otherworldly makes it feel like a space to exist in and allow to sweep over oneself. Reading it is meditative in a similar sense to revisiting an old favorite, but it has that effect from the first read.

3.5⭐️

This was one of the books in the series that was not the best but that is rated against other stellar books in the series. This was good, but not great. But I loved seeing Hakumei and Mikochi get drunk and see how the two are so different when drunk.

I can't say this is for everyone, but if you are looking for a chill slice of life, this will do.

I'm surprised by the frequent depictions of smoking in a time when we know how harmful it is. There was even a whole chapter devoted to it.

this one didn’t hold my attention like the others, felt like it lost the feeling a bit and the focus on the two mains and their slice of life and adventures.

The art for this whole series is amazing. This one in particular had some really gorgeous illustrations. Also, it's adorbs to see these tiny little elf creatures getting drunk and smoking.

Read this eighth volume of Takuto Kashiki's Hakumei & Mikochi Series for Reddit Fantasy's 2023 Bingo Square Mundane Jobs, the protagonists are a tailor and a carpenter. This book qualifies for hard mode as it does not take place on Earth.

  雖然《妖精森林的小不點》台版單行本出版速度很慢,但至少有以平均一到兩年的速度在書店裡上市銷售,對照其他漫畫的斷尾情況,我已經很知足了QwQ但願東立能維持這種速度繼續代理到故事完結,若能再版前面的單行本集數,那就更在好不過了。

  第八集依然是維持超可愛的童話療癒畫風和世界觀,走過鋪陳人物特質和人際關係的劇情線後,愈來愈有關係混熟後的老朋友安心氛圍。這一集的場景和人物出場戲份都滿平均的,港都的堆積木市場、小骨酒吧、發明家千、街頭歌手康居、石貫會工匠們、吞戶屋姊妹都輪番上場,大家也流露出以前少見的一面。

  例如嚴肅受夥伴們敬重的會長其實單獨面對來訪的客人也會感到緊張,這是繼會長不喜歡吃牛蒡後的新弱項呢XD沉浸在自身歌唱專業的康居看起來非常平易近人,跟她初登場想要跟御子地一爭高下的衝動大相逕庭,我覺得這一段反映出康居性情率直的正向結果,很喜歡康居溫柔對待小春的互動。

  這一集的微百合要素好像變得濃郁了些,像是米瑪莉悄悄為姊姊席娜托準備新的煙管,但是姊姊對煙管的要求很高,暗自侷促不安,擔心她或許不會喜歡自己準備的煙管。樫木祐人把米瑪莉的焦慮煩惱和對姊姊的深厚感情表露無遺,覺得這個妹妹實在太可愛了!席娜托收到紅珊瑚製的羅宇高興的反應也很令人開心!

  白明和御子地的感情也好好,悠閒在家的午後悠哉地沖泡咖啡,待在一起消磨時間,兩個女生還輪流膝枕,這相處也太親密、太幸福了吧。御子地在未察覺白明跟著她,在磨刀匠店家對白明磨刀手藝的好評,還有聽聞這份好評的白明難為情而在店門外等待御子地出來的反應,這段透露出她們感情深厚的橋段也很美好。

  我也很喜歡樫木祐人在畫兩人跳躍的畫面,某個畫面的御子地看起來有點像是快被風吹走的模樣,用樹枝藤蔓跳遠的白明看起來則很有御風而行的氣勢。期待第九集、第十集漫畫能夠早日在台灣出版。
