I've had a number of people asking me since last week, "Do Rain and Emily really have enough money to be buying that much manga? Especially with the baby on the way?" To which I say, no, of course not. But no one ever said anything about buying manga. Many bookstores (notably, like Borders, the namesake of this Rainverse version, Porter's Books) have lounge areas where you can sit and read without spending money. They tend to encourage buying a coffee or some kind of cafe item while you're there but - at least in my experience - they don't really demand anything of you. Which might contribute to why Borders doesn't exist anymore, to be fair. But I still appreciated the lack of pushiness, and the option to do this was essential to me as a poor, geeky youth.

Anyway, I hope that clarifies that. Maybe they'll grab a bite to eat at some point while they're here, but this trip was never really about spending money. It was about giving Emily a nigh endless supply of distractions to take her mind off of things with her mom. Rain knew something there would appeal to her.

With that said, Emily reads through the two available volumes of Birth of the Lilim and reaches the cliffhanger end. Don't worry too much about the context here, though. I've talked a bit in the past, about the character of Lilith , and how she's from an old "story" of mine that never really went anywhere. I didn't really have much any kind of plot for it, though; just a few characters I thought were neat and some potentially compelling story beats. So there's not even much to say beyond Emily's panel 3 description. Hence, using Lilim as the Rainverse "eternal cliffhanger manga" is kinda fitting. XD

We've all read one, right? At the very least, eternal cliffhanger webcomics are sadly common. (Doesn't mean we don't love what's there; it just means we never get closure.)

Final thing I wanted to say (actually, I think there might be more, but I've already rambled too long), but Rain is reading Moonlight Wanderers, in case anyone was wondering. I'd share a direct link, but I think the image I used is only currently available on Patreon (which I know I've been slacking with lately - it's this year, honestly - but I have some things I want to post very soon).

Anyway, I think that's it for now. As always, thanks for reading my mindless babble and I hope you enjoyed the page. ^_^
