📚Lots of cool new manga this week, including books from @mangamavericks.bsky.social , @futekiya.bsky.social , Animate International, and @floatingworld.bsky.social 👀
Delivery from the Beguiling! Initially, the order was to buy Mafalda but I couldn’t resist some Seth. Thanks @thebeguiling.bsky.social
Big recommendation for Cocoon by Machiko Kyō. It's like speedrunning multiple viewings of Grave of the Fireflies back to back. Will leave you emotionally destroyed.

Yuri lovers delight- just in time for Pride month we have partnered with Lily House in Thailand to bring their English language girl's love novels to Canada. Whether you want rom com, sci fi, or horror- these lesbians have got it all!
It's really real! Look at my Belle Époque of a translation baby!! (It's also my entire TCAF haul bc I was so busy interpreting, I had zero time to go around and fangirl over comics.)
Famous Cool Toronto Book Store @thebeguiling.bsky.social grabbed a few of my comics today, so Toronto folks, if you missed TCAF you can find my stuff there!! 🌟
The shipment of “The Golden Fly” by MINT Manga creator Battan arrived *just in time* at @thebeguiling.bsky.social today for #tcaf2026! Peter is sooo relieved! Still time to support the Kickstarter to get your copy! www.kickstarter.com/projects/beg...
Look what just arrived, fresh off the truck! Peter says, “Get your advance copies of ‘The Golden Fly’ by Battan this weekend at TCAF.” The Kickstarter is fully funded, thank you all so much!!! There’s still plenty of time to back and claim other Beguiling published books!
Shoutout to @thebeguiling.bsky.social for being a sponsor and partner for @torontocomics.bsky.social! Here they are selling at Libraries and Education Day! www.torontocomics.com/schedule/lib...
Debuting at TCAF this weekend is something all the shoujosei fans have been asking for for years! Mars, rereleased! Working together with @kodanshamanga for an early release (just for us), the 30th anniversary edition comes in a beautiful shiny red hardcover.
big ups to The Beguiling for getting funding for a translation of a new @battan8.bsky.social doujin up before I even knew the doujin existed in Japanese!
