I got all Viz single volumes and “My Little Monster” 9. I finished “A Silent Voice” on CrunchyRoll manga, so I may check it out again when my local public library has it, very good series, but I’m not sure I’m reading it soon. I’m on the fence about “My love monster, ” maybe borrowing from library first as well.
