The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter is an isekai boys love manga series from Kazuki Irodori based on the original story by Yatsuki Wakatsu & character design by Kikka Ohashi and published by Yen Press.

Blerdy Otome Monthly Recap – July 2022
Hey Blerdy Tribe! It’s the end of yet another month, so it’s time for the Blerdy Otome Monthly Recap! I kinda skipped a few months, sorry, I’ve been juggling a lot recently so sadly the site has taken a bit of a backseat. But, I’m going to be better about that in the coming weeks and months. However, some exciting things did happen recently and I wanted to share:
- I participated in another otome roundtable with Aksys Games to discuss the AX otome announcements
- Big social milestones–5K followers on Twitter and 1K followers on Twitch
- Attending Otakon 2022 again as press & got to meet some really cool online folks IRL!
- Set up partnerships with VIZ Media, Seven Seas, and TokyoPop (so more manga content, YAY!)
So, there’s been a lot of things going on behind the scenes, so as always thank you all for your support! I can’t express how much your kind words, comments, and DMs mean to me! 💖
As always there’s a lot more on the horizon in August, but before we dive into the new month, let’s take a look back at the month of July here at Blerdy Otome!
