REVIEW: My Gently Raised Beast (manhwa, vol. 6) original story by Early Flower, adapted by Kim JunJun, art by Yeoseulki, translated by WEBTOON

My Gently Raised Beast is a fantasy romance manhwa series. I bought my copy of this volume new.

Review:

There's a party to celebrate peace with the divine beasts, so Amon learns etiquette and dancing. It'll be a masquerade party, supposedly so that humans and divine beasts can mingle with less awkwardness - I assume the divine beasts, at least will know exactly who's human and who isn't, so I guess this is probably more for the human attendees than anything.

In addition to the party, we get more of Briddy's visions about Rafiyan (the goddess who was supposedly killed by a black divine beast, but who actually wasn't) and Barahan (the god who was jealous of Rafiyan's powers).

REVIEW: We Are Definitely Human (book) by X. Fang

We Are Definitely Human is a children's picture book. I bought my copy new.

Review:

Mr. Li is woken up one night by the sound of a crash near his house. When he goes outside to investigate, he finds three blue beings who claim they are Europeans whose car broke down. Mr. Li, being a kind human, gives the strangers a place to stay for the night until the stores open in the morning and they can get supplies to fix their car.

Ok, this was delightful. The cover and title indicated that this would probably be a funny book, and it definitely was. There were some great moments as the "Europeans" did their best to fit in.

This was also a really sweet book on the whole, with an example of a small, rural town that is kind and welcoming towards some strangers in need. Even if these strangers are a little stranger than usual.

The last page was perfect and had me laughing. I don't have a child to read this to, but I suspect kids would enjoy this. This adult certainly did.
