Summer TBR - Blog Posts

Starting my summer reading with these two.

Chainsaw Man gets a 6/10. I'm still trying to understand what exactly is happening. The art style is cool and the characters are likeable. I'll be reading more to see if I can figure out what's going on.

Jujutsu Kaisen gets a 7/10. Interesting storyline, cool characters and wonderful art. I'm curious as to what's going to happen next.

Very excited to read more manga. If anyone is interested I can definitely write a more in-depth review of these. Also, if you have any recommendations for manga I'm open.
