I’m always on the look-out for new manga to read and often make it a point to check in on all the major publisher websites at least once a month to see what new volumes are coming out. The Alchemist Who Survived popped up one day and its description intrigued me. The full title of … More The Alchemist Who Survived Manga Volume One Review
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
There are few things I love more than cooking manga, except apparently cooking manga combined with gay relationships. What Did You Eat Yesterday is an interesting take on both cooking manga and boys love, though I guess you wouldn’t call it boys love since both main characters are 40-year-old men, but you get my point. … More What Did You Eat Yesterday? Manga Volume One Review
I’m approaching 30 and am two years out from getting married, so it’s safe to say that I’m not really the target audience for Tokyo Tarareba Girls, but I do feel like I know enough people like the women in this manga to feel a connection to their story. They’re thirty year old women who … More Tokyo Tarareba Girls Manga Volume 2 Review
I’m not sure what I expected going into Hyouka. I knew it was a mystery series and I had seen the occasional clip here and there, but it definitely wasn’t the kind of mystery I was used to. I grew up on old black and white murder mysteries from the 40s and 50s. One of … More Hyouka Anime Review
The title of this blog post makes it sound like I’m feeling a bit betrayed right now, and in a way that is true. Cardcaptor Sakura is one of my all-time favorite series. It’s one that’s been a favorite of mine since early childhood and, because of this series, I was introduced to many more … More How Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Managed to Disappoint One of its Biggest Fans
I’m always super behind on new manga, so I’m super enjoying getting back into Twitter right now specifically to follow publishers and see all the new releases pop up on my feed. I think A Bride’s Story popped up at some point, and just seeing the cover art was enough to convince me that this … More A Bride’s Story Manga Review: Volume 1
Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart snuck up on me last year. I didn’t realize it was airing until after the season was over, and it wasn’t until now that I had the chance to actually watch it. I also didn’t know that this short, 6-episode series is supposed to be a sequel … More Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart Anime Review
Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid has to be one of the few yuri animes I actually like. It manages to combine great animation and enjoyable characters in such a way that you almost feel like you’re not watching a typical yuri show. The anime was originally part of the Spring 2017 simulcast season on Crunchyroll and ran … More Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid Valentine’s OVA Review
I came across this short film a little while ago and it looked interesting enough to cover while waiting for the seasonal anime to finish up. … More Into the Forest of Fireflies’ Light (Hotarubi no Mori e) Anime Film Review
