Happy holidays, VIZ fans! 2024 may be coming to a close, but I will probably continue to do this pubwatch until the heat death of the universe or I run out of spare time. Whichever comes first! This month we’re getting warm and cozy with some fluffy romance manga, as well as volume 3 of the less-than-cozy dystopian science fiction Fool Night.

And even more excited by the shift in genre from lightly speculative romance to action-packed vigilante justice mystery.
