I have to say, in the world of disability manga, I really do think I Hear the Sunspot is one of the best — if not the best — manga about a disability that I have found. I previously reviewed this series back when the first book came out of the original 2-book series. When … More I Hear the Sunspot: Limit Manga Volumes 1-3 Series Review
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

Welcome back to the next post in my read-through of Fruits Basket, where I’m finally going back and finishing this series after years of not getting the chance to complete it.

I can’t help but feel that if I was to revise my top 5 manga list of all time, Wotakoi would fall at number two on the list. I’ve talked at length before in my previous Manga vs Anime post about my love of this series, and I figured I should start where I (and … More Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku Manga Volume 3 Review (US Version)
What is it about watching romantic comedies about older women failing at love that keep us coming back? Is it because watching them fail makes us feel better about our own lives? Or is it just oddly entertaining to watch people make mistakes and ruin their own lives? I’m not entirely sure why, but all … More Tokyo Tarareba Girls Manga Volume 3 Review
No matter how much I grumble about the price of a volume of this manga (17 USD), I will always enjoy picking it up and reading on with the story. The price really is worth it. For a hardcover edition, larger pages, and great quality art, I really shouldn’t be grumbling too much. Not to … More A Bride’s Story Manga Volume 3 Review
Skip Beat currently rests at number one on my list of top 5 manga, so I thought it was about time I finally reviewed the manga.

Volume three of Hapi Mari has a lot of great stuff going on, especially when it comes to looking deeper into Hokuto’s past and family troubles. I think the big theme that really ties this volume together is the family you choose can be a better family than the one you were born into. … More Hapi Mari: Volume 3
This manga just continues to get me frustrated as we get further and further in. All the drama seems badly fabricated to the point that you’re just kind of groaning every time something happens. Volume three starts off with Yukako coming running back to the group shouting about Kousuke getting stabbed by the robbers and how he’s dying back there in the woods. … More Boku Kara Kimi ga Kienai: Volume 3
