Welcome to The Avocado’s weekly discussion of Japanese pop culture! Looking for some new manga read? Want to read more josei but don’t know where to start? Don’t worry, Colleen has got you covered in their latest video highlighting some fantastic series!
I find something to love in every recommendation video Colleen releases, but I think this one might be the best so far. I want to read every series mentioned, so these are seriously some fantastic recommendations. Oh, and if you didn’t pick up Don’t Call it Mystery after I featured it a while back, maybe Colleen can convince you?
