I feel like smut often gets overlooked when we talk about romance, or people wind up feeling uncomfortable admitting that they like it. For a long time, women would hide the fact they would read explicit romance novels. But I think with the publication of Fifty Shades of Gray, women have felt more comfortable reading … More Spicy Specials: Fire in His Fingertips Manga Volume One Review [NSFW]
Tough guys have been making their way into shoujo manga for the past couple years. I think most of the love for the unconventional love interest started or was made more popular by the manga and anime My Love Story. The series featured a tough-looking guy who loved judo but had a heart of gold. … More Cutie and the Beast Manga Volume One Review

For those not in the know, isekai is where people from one world (usually modern Japan) are transported either into a video game world, fantasy world, or into the past. The genre has seen such … More Otherworldly Izakaya Nobu Manga Volume One Review (#Sponsored)
These fall to winter months are a time when imaginations run wild, ghost stories are told, and children (and adults) run around in costumes play-acting being someone or something else. When we’re young, our imaginations run wild as we create worlds and friends to play with even if all we’re holding are cardboard swords or … More Séance Tea Party Graphic Novel Review
This is truthfully my first light novel that I have ever read, but I felt the need to branch out to a new medium recently.

However, I’ve always … More Hello, I’m a Witch and My Crush Wants Me To Make a Love Potion Light Novel Volume One Review
I was unsure whether I would actually like this manga since the story and characters are more geared towards a shonen audience rather than shoujo. Luckily, Yen Press gave me a chance to read a copy of the recently released e-book. I figured even if I didn’t jive with the story, it would be an … More If Witch, then Which? Manga Volume One Review
Tis the season for witchy stories about magic and far off lands. It also happens to be the beginning of the fall anime season, which just so happens to feature the anime adaptation of this manga, which in turn is an adaptation of a light novel. I haven’t had the chance to check out the … More Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina Manga Volume One Review
The Ancient Magus’ Bride has been one of my favorite series since the manga started coming out and anime adaptation started airing. I’ve done a bunch of reviews on this blog: I’ve reviewed the manga, I’ve done multiple posts (part 1, 2, and 3) on the mythology found within the series, as well as a … More Jack Flash and the Faerie Case Files (The Ancient Magus’ Bride Spin-Off) Manga Volume One Review
I’ve never read the book that this manga is adapted from, and I’m not entirely sure that I would have given it a chance in prose form. Written by Rainbow Rowell and published in 2013, the young adult novel would have surely slipped under my radar. I didn’t really read much young adult literature back … More Fangirl Manga Volume One Advanced Review
I’ve seen a lot of creative comics over the years and technology expands and allows artists and writers to do more interesting things. A Stray in the Woods was originally a webcomic posted on Tumblr by Alison Wilgus and ran as a collaboration between creator and audience. The fans had the ability to submit commands … More Caturday Specials: Why You Should Read A Stray in the Woods
