Welcome to Yui's Ani-Manga List!
back home I've been reading manga and watching anime since 2016. I have 250+ manga volumes in my physical collection. I'm down to read pretty much any genres, though my favorites are psychological-horror, and drama-romances. I typically read more Shounen/Seinen, and my guilty pleasure sub-genre is time travel. I haven't really gotten into manhwa or donhua yet. I've read ORV and a few BL my friend suggested but that's about it lol. I really like trying to find super underrated or unknown manga.
For more information on the series I've watched and read, here's my My Anime List profile
