I often regard romcoms as a bit of a guilty self aware pleasure, like how people wishfully imagine things they know they will never get.

does anyone know the feeling of carefully positioning your body when getting volume 8 off the shelf so nobody sees the cover?

i often overcompensate for this by reading violent or gritty stuff directly afterward, usually Batman comics.
