    Read a great 13 chapter SoL called Walking Through Today. It’s just the musings of an old man who walks the same route through his neighborhood every day.

    Caught up with a surprisingly decent action sort-of-harem thing called New Normal. It’s set in a relatively near future world in which a virus not unlike (but worse than) covid has ravaged the world, and among the survivors, who live in a walled section of Tokyo, all of the covid-era precautions like masks and social distancing have come to be rigidly enforced societal norms. So at this point, teenage boys (and some girls) are obsessed with mouths and lips, because they’re always hidden, and the story starts out as a bumbling romance after the mc happens to see the class idol’s naked mouth. It goes along like that for a while - pretty standard stuff, just with the gimmick of being focused on mouths and lips, but then it veers off into action and intrigue, as the leads get caught up in all sorts of conflict and begin to learn some of the truth about the virus, and the world outside the walls.

    And lots of updates to ongoing stuff…
