Book Review: Age Matters

Posted on by Maya Escobar

Age Matters by Enjelicious

Request It!

This webtoon follows the life of 29-year-old Rose Choi, as she struggles to get her life back together again. After her ex-boyfriend cheated and dumped her, Rose is in need of a job. She eventually takes over her best friend’s odd job, which includes cooking and delivering meals to an unknown boss. This boss, however, turns out to be 23-year-old Daniel Yoon, the CEO of a successful business, Lime. Though their relationship starts off a little rocky, with Daniel’s secretive and cold demeanor contradicting Rose’s upfront, honest personality, the two eventually fall in love with each other. This light-hearted, humor-filled romance story was a fun summer read and I would definitely read it again!

Book Review: I Think Our Son Is Gay

Posted on by Maya Escobar

I Think Our Son Is Gay by Okura

Request It!

This manga follows the lives of mother Tomoko Aoyama and her eldest son, Hiroki. Hiroki is gay, but is too afraid to tell the rest of his family, including his mother, father, and younger brother, Yuri. Despite this, Tomoko knows her son is gay, but wants him to come out on his own. Yuri is also aware of Hikoki’s sexuality. Tomoko’s husband, constantly travels for work, but unintentionally hurts Hiroki’s feelings because of his outdated views on gay people and homosexuality. This slice-of-life manga makes the perfect read for anyone, as it covers the challenges of growing up, as well as relationships with family and friends. I love reading the manga series and I enjoyed the light-hearted story and humor throughout all of the books!
