I read 2 series from Inio Asano. Downfall & Solanin were both very heavy reads and they complemented each other well. Downfall is a look at a person who achieved success but is now looking back on regrets of the past. Solanin is about those unsure of what the future holds and sometimes taking for granted a future that isn't promised. Both of these were needed reads as I reflected both on the last year of me podcasting but also looking at my own past and future.
