“Sometimes I think there are people who only read books in the hope of finding mistakes in them.” 😂 it’s sad but true.

The shogun’s nickname is Keiki and every time I hear his name, I think of cake. Why is this what I focus on while battles abound and political shenanigans ensue? 🎂🍰

Am I reading this out of morbid curiosity? Not going to answer that 😂 Also, it's Agatha Christie, so enough reason

I never thought a book could make tea an appealing beverage (except green tea, of course) but this book is charming in so many ways

What a delightful story so far!

This book makes my life feel cozy in comparison to the author's adventures. The amount of bullets flying, ambushes in the dark, political conspiracies, and just the daily life of a translator...it makes today's generation seem very soft

really loving this re-read, but not much time to read lately

That backstory was a bit complicated...but great themes

I'm not flailing with glee over here.
This manga... That panel... 😭😍✨

I said I was going to put down manga and finish the novels on my TBR...I lied. This series is too good and I need ALL the cake. Not going to stop until I read them all.

That is the update.

This manga is entirely to blame for why I'm behind on my TBR...

I love this manga. Enough said.

It’s already pulling on the heart strings. Admiring the set up and stakes.

This series is really the best Japanese study I've done in a long time. Also this manga should be required reading for teen boys haha. These guys are good role models.
