Puerto Rico Vlog | Adventures and Reading Guards, Vagabond, Island of the Lost, and Folktales

Yes, this is on the correct channel 😂 I was on vacation and took time off from the second channel so I could chill while away, which is why this is here. Hope you enjoy it 🤓

Off topic but I just wanted to thank you for the One Piece rec because I'm on Volume 5 rn and I am HOOKED. It's my first deep dive into manga and holy smokes, this could actually be a new fave if it only gets better with future volumes. I am compulsively reading it like crazy 😭😭 I also started First Law based on your recs and omg I am halfway through The Blade Itself and this book is absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much.

As a Puerto Rican, it makes me so happy to see you loving the island so much! I'm glad you enjoyed your time there!

I didn't know you were starting Discworld so I instantly broke into a full-on smile when you pulled out Guards Guards. I'm glad you instantly fell in love with the goofy cast just like me and am looking forward to discussions about next books. 😆

Nos salió reina puertorriqueña la Merphy 😍

If you end up loving Vagabond I highly recommend Slam Dunk, it's by Inoue (the mangaka) as well and its about basketball. I was never really into the sport that much, but Inoue made me cheer at the edge of my seat for the main story's team. Its also a lovely story about someone that doesnt know much about basketball slowly falling in love with the sport too.

Pratchett's Discworld is a gem. I never tire of re-reading them.

This vlog made my heart so Happy! Glad you love Mi Isla! 💙

Vagabond's story might feel "simple" and "slow" but as You go on You will realize there is a certain depth to it, t the philosphies presented. The Art is stunning and it only gets better and better....

I hope you enjoyed our beautiful island ❤️

Yaaayyyy Discworld!, it's my favorite series of all time, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and Puerto Rico is beautiful.

Always funny to see where the most replayed parts are in videos like this.

My father had a house in Aguada. He has since passed away. But I grew up and enjoyed visiting during the summer months. It is definitely the area I tell people to visit to get an idea of what Puerto Rico is truly like. Cabo Rojo has great restaurants.

Glad you're reading Vagabond! It's one of my absolute favorites. Also fun fact, the mangaka Takehiko Inoue's previous work was a long running basketball series called Slam Dunk, which is considered one of the most iconic and influential sports manga ever written, and you can tell he is passionate about the sport (he also teaches and coaches kid basketball leagues over here in japan). Inoue is one of the most respected managaka in recent manga history and seems like a genuinely cool dude. Vagabond, Vinland Saga, and Berserk are usually considered like "the Big Three" of seinen manga, kinda like how "the Big Three" of Shonen were One Piece, Bleach, and Natuto (though only OP is still going haha with many other Shonen being put in as candidates for the other two unofficial slots lol).

So happy you loved Guards Guards! Discworld was my favourite series growing up and I must have read each book at least 3-4 times now - reading them is like putting on a comfy pair of slippers now :) I love them all, but if I had to pick my top 5 discworlds: Maskerade Interesting Times Night Watch Feet of Clay Soul Music

I am happy, joyous - in fact DELIGHTED that you enjoyed Guards Guards! And when you said you'd read a Pratchett every month this year I cheered. My kids look at me strange now. 😉 Welcome to Pratchett-land! Strange isn't strange here.

Discworld! If you do do the Witches next, make sure to include the young adult books with starting with The Wee Free Men, it's an epilouge of sorts to the sub series. As well as some of Pratchett's best prose

The art of Vagabond is so good that it might have better live action than an anime adaption at this point I do hope you try watching Mushishi too

Bienvenida a la isla Disfrutalo mucho Merphy.

This is the craziest crossover episode of all time. I hope you had a wonderful time here!
