Home Office Romance: Manga Review (8/21/2025)

 A short story about two neighbors who form a romance together during COVID. Only one volume long, it's short, simple, and sweet. The male is awkward in a way that might be relatable to introverts, while the female lead is more extroverted and honestly pretty assertive.

Very cute romance. I give a strong 8 to a light 9.

Let's Talk Life! October Canon Events! (10/10/2026)

 Let's do a quick catch up on where I am with my life right now! I do these every so often whenever I feel overwhelmed, and life has indeed been quite a lot to handle recently. But, I somehow manage to live my life in a way where I never really get a break, and I just gotta keep moving forward. Sink or swim type shit. So let's start with the big one. I got dumped this Sunday. Or maybe dumped isn't even the right word because we never made the official jump to bf/gf. Some typical situationship type bullshit honestly, something that I thought I would never be dumb enough to fall for. Anyways, I had been seeing a girl from Hinge for seven weeks, and I thought it had been going amazingly! We were going out on multiple dates each week, usually scheduling some sort of bigger date for each weekend as well. Actually, the breakup even happened after we had just spent the night in SF after this clubbing event that we went to with some of my friends. All of this is to say, it came as ...

My Career: Where I've Been and Where I'll Be Going (8/10/2026)

  Where Have I Been? *Please forgive me if there are any noticeable grammar/writing issues, I didn't want to edit this shit after working on this for so long LOL! In the first few months that I started my first full time job, some of my coworkers took me out to lunch and told me that they advised me to change jobs within two years. This was not shocking news to me; I had already begun to realize that at this job, I would be doing the same work repeatedly and potentially stunting my long term growth compared to other opportunities. However, even though my current job is pretty chill and paid decently well, I knew I was lacking in relevant industry experience, and because of that I didn't know if I would be able to land another role after. This made me realize that I would probably have to be doing something more than just my job if I wanted to progress in my career, but I didn't know where to even start. Because of this, I started learning as much as I could about the tech/s...

Solanin: Five years later at 23 (3/22/2026)

About a month ago, I got an email from my 18 year old self telling me to read Solanin, the manga by Inio Asano. It reads as follows: Dear the (hopefully) post grad Nathan, Read Solanin, the manga by Inio Asano you read on 2/20/2021, and see what you think of it. Maybe even look back on that short reflection you wrote (on blogger). I think it'll probably hit different once you start to live that post college life. Maybe you could even look back on that myanimelist account you had. link here, if that website is still around: https://myanimelist.net/profile/wolfang135 From, the currently first year at college Nathan I'm actually still logging my manga regularly on MAL, except I've changed my username from wolfang135 to raffyreviews. I remembered reading the manga back during my first (online) year of college in the COVID quarantine, but I didn't remember much about the manga besides having a distinct feeling of not getting it. But, I kept hearing good things about it onlin...
