Laura Meets Manga

While July may not have many brand-new debuts, it's certainly packed with exciting new volumes from ongoing and fan-favorite series!

Let me know which titles you’re most excited for! 🤗

I might not have reached my personal reading goal last month, but every one of these titles delivered when it came to my enjoyment!

For today’s shoujo quiz, it took all my restraint not to ask a question like, “Which character is complete garbage?” 😤

But refrained and focused instead on our sweet Brigitte from If the Villainess and Villain Met and Fell in Love! 🥰

Anime Expo is tomorrow, so it's time to feature my most wanted manga licenses that I hope get announced for a print release!

So let's see what anime we have to look forward to watching this season! 🥳

First up is Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It!)! I didn't realize this was the first shoujo anime to drop for the summer season! 😱

I have loved the manga of this one and definitely would recommend trying it out because its a fun one! 🤩

Next up is one of my personal most anticipated anime, The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power!

It just dropped this morning and definitely need to check it out because I have been SO curious about this one (especially knowing J-Novel publishes the manga & LN)!

I am STILL behind on Hana-Kimi, but YAY for us getting a second season!! 🥳🥳🥳

I hope it will be just as wonderful as season one seems to be!! Always great to see shoujo anime getting a second season! 🥰

Thanks to @/everysongaday on Twitter/X, I just found out that the manga of Sorry About My Little Brothers is currently on MangaPlaza! 😱

Like they shared, I'm guessing it's because of the anime streaming this summer! This seems like a very fun and colorful anime to watch!

One of the most biggest shoujo anime dropping this season is for sure Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia!

Everything I've seen with this anime looks incredible! I feel I'm not going to want to even blink in fear I might miss one thing when watching! 🤩

I was a little nervous The Ogre's Bride might be pushed back due to getting the official PV so late, but nope! It's going to be airing very soon, and I'm looking forward to it! 🥳

The FL seems SO sweet and already swooning over the ML's voice! 🥰🙈

This is another anime I have been curious about, and that's mainly because of the title The Duke's Son Claims He Won't Love Me Yet Showers Me with Adoration!

I haven't heard much excitement for it, but I'm wanting to tune it for the first episode at the very least! 🥰

I don't think this anime is technically is a shoujo, butttttt!!

It seems to be geared towards a female audience and REALLY wanted to feature Goodbye, Lara because YAY for mermaids!! 🥳It seems like such an engaging story and very very stoked for this one!! 🤩

The only shoujosei anime streaming on HiDive this summer is The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip in Another World and SO excited to try it!

I think @/violetheart08 on Twitter/X said this is like the shoujo version of Campfire Cooking and was instantly intrigued! 🤩

Another one of my most personal anticipated anime this summer season is definitely Victoria of Many Faces! 

If you could only try 2-3 anime, please please please let this be one of them! The manga is fantastic and VERY much looking forward to watching the anime! 🤩

I am shocked there is no streaming website announced for Red River because surely this is another one that is the biggest anime of the summer season! 😱

Hopefully will hear where we can watch it VERY soon because the PVs I've seen have left me on the edge of my seat!!

Another anime I'm hoping we hear who is streaming is My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren't Wicked because I remember trying the manga and it was SO cute!

If you're looking for a feel good and fun slice-of-lice anime to watch this summer, this one is it! 🥰

And my most anticipated anime this season (I think for me and several others) is by far Inept Villainess!!

This story is NOT your typical "villainess slop," and would definitely recommend NOT skipping it because Reirin & Keigetsu will capture your heart! 😍

And last but certainly not least is the light anime Saved By the Ice Cold Prince's Embrace!

I'm not sure if we've had other light anime stream, but this one sounds like it could be a cute watch and will keep an eye out for it! 😍

And that's a wrap of all the shoujosei anime streaming this summer! 🥳

It's the calm before the storm, with AX kicking off later this week and the summer anime season fully starting, so there isn't QUITE as much manga and anime news!

New video schedule is here! 🙌

This week is the big week, and I feel I won’t be able to get anything done knowing Anime Expo is right around the corner! 😆 Buttttt, it’s a new week full of videos! 🥳

VERY excited to share my Top 5 Wednesday video, even though I know I keep saying I won’t do the same picks as last year and am struggling as a result! 🤪

I’ll also have a new video for Patreon and channel members, and I’m very much looking forward to sharing that as well! 🤩

These first manga volumes were everything, and was SO excited to gush about them in my new video!!

With today's shoujo quiz about Kakuriyo Bed & Breakfast for Spirits, I promise it won't make you hungry! 🤭

Seconding what I saw someone share on here recently: with MAPPA animating Fall in Love, You False Angels, it's sure to be the next big mainstream shoujo! 😍

Shoujosei anime fans, this video is for you!

Is anyone else still in shock that MAPPA is animating Fall in Love, You False Angels?! 😱

Happy Sunday, friends!

It's a new week, with a lot of exciting new videos! I am VERY excited for this week's first impression video! I debated waiting, but after reading Banri last night, I knew it was time! (IT WAS SO GOOD!!)

I'm also revealing the results of my Read & Review Shoujo Spree! I need to make the graphics, but I just picked up two of the series that got the most votes from my library yesterday!

Let me know if we have any common on my list! 🙌

(Also will note I didn't include Journal with Witch since the rumors are so strong it's gotten licensed!)

It can be hard to keep track of all the amazing #shoujo & #josei wins throughout the year, so let's take some time to celebrate everything we've gotten so far in my new video! 🥳

The summer anime season is almost here, and with it, the very wonderful shoujo, Victoria of Many Faces!

I was so excited to see it win last week's poll because this is such a wonderful & heartfelt story! 🥹

When we get news of an anime adaptation, it often feels like a manga license is guaranteed or has even already been announced!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who voted in my Read & Review Shoujo Spree these past two weeks!! 🥹
