I reviewed the first volume of this manga last September when it came out, and voiced some concerns about the pacing and the story in general. I hoped then that it was just “first volume syndrome” and the story would get better in the next volume. Volume two came out this past January, but I … More Fiancee of the Wizard Manga Volume Two Review
There are a few mangaka that I will always pick up new works from. Kaoru Mori (A Bride’s Story), Nagabe (The Girl from the Otherside), and now Kamome Shirahama. Shirahama is also the creator of Witch Hat Atelier, another awesome manga that I’m thoroughly addicted to. It’s still ongoing, so I was surprised to hear … More Eniale & Dewiela Manga Volume One Review
Some topics can be very hard to discuss through normal means of conversation or even writing. It can be difficult to really capture the full meaning behind these events and emotions that can be too turbulent or confusing to straighten out in our minds and process. However, what I love about the comics medium is … More My Broken Mariko Manga 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
It’s almost been a full year since I’ve covered this series, and I’m finally happy to have the chance to return to it. The manga volumes have been coming out so far and few between that I almost started to miss reading through this series and have been really looking forward to the next volume. … More The Alchemist Who Survived Manga Volume Two Review
One of the breakout series of 2019 and 2020 has to be Nyankees by Atsushi Okada. It was picked up for English release by Yen Press and quickly became one of mine and many others favorite manga series. It’s a shame that it only ran for six volumes but that might also be one of … More Caturday Treats: Why You Should Read Nyankees
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
It’s that time again, time to take another dive into some nostalgic shoujo romance, more Fruits Basket. Volume four brings us about a third of a way through this series with twelve volumes total to look forward to. The story is still slowly unfolding here, with more introductions and a closer look at the intimate … More Fruits Basket Manga Read-Through: Collector’s Edition Volume Four
And I’m back with the continuation of my read-through of Fruits Basket as I try to remember if my childhood memories of this series are as good as I think they are. So far, we’ve read the first volume of the collector’s edition series from Yen Press which had chapters 1-12. Today, we’re continuing on … More Fruits Basket Manga Read-Through: Collector’s Edition Volume Two
It’s been such a long time since I’ve thought about Fruits Basket. It was one of the first shoujo manga I ever read and I think I still have some of the original manga volumes. But manga was expensive for a middle-schooler in those days, rising to 10 dollars per volume in high school, so … More Fruits Basket Manga Read-Through: Collector’s Edition Volume One
