Way of the House Husband has to be one of my favorite comedy series that is currently being published. It combines a lot of the factors that have always been of interest to me in stories from Japanese media: yakuza and Japanese masculinity. Kousuke Oono, through his short comedic chapters, points out the daily struggles … More Way of the House Husband Manga Volume Three Review
If you’ve been following manga trends for the last couple months, you have probably seen some chatter on social media about this manga.

It’s been a while since we last talked about Wotakoi. The last volume came out in November of 2018, so to say I was excited to read more is definitely an understatement.

I can’t conclude this month’s reviews of witch and magic related anime and manga without a look at Flying Witch, one of the best magic related slice-of-life’s to come out so far (in my humble opinion).

I have a hard time finding a better heart-warming comedy than those involving yakuza members. Hinamatsuri was a fantastic anime a couple seasons ago that highlighted a relationship between a young homeless girl (who happened to have psychic powers) and a yakuza member. Now we have Way of the House Husband that takes the over-masculinization … More Way of the House Husband (Gokushufudou) Manga Volume One Review

These are all questions fundamental to the romance genre no matter the age, though usually found in those stories centering around a younger age group.

I think Kaguya-sama was probably one of the only romance anime that came out of last season to really capture my attention. There were definitely a few too many shonen harem anime during the winter, and that’s not usually a genre I know I’ll enjoy. But I think Kaguya-sama did a phenomenal job capturing the … More Kaguya-sama: Love is War Anime Review
No matter the platform, comics have always been a staple reading material for me since middle school, especially webcomics. I got drawn in at a fairly early age due to one of my cousins creating his own long-running web comic for pretty much as long as I’ve known him. Slowly that love of comics branched … More Three WebToon Recommendations for Romance Fans
