I was really looking forward to reading The World of Machida-kun. I can’t quite explain why. You know when you first see someone at school or at work. And you think to yourself, I bet I would really get along with that person. We should be friends. And you don’t really have a reason to…
A while ago, I went on a manga aggregator website and decided to look up all the manga with the tag “food” for reasons that are still unclear to me. I was in the mood for stories about cooking and eating together. Maybe I was just hungry at the time After which, I scanned through…
Sometimes, I’ll decide that I really want to read a manga and even I don’t know why. I should let you know that Kuu Intrudes From Above is not officially licensed yet so this is a preemptive review. That way if you see it pop up in the future, you’ll know what to expect. Kinda……
I first heard of Giant Spider and Me through my comments section. The title really grabbed my attention, and I knew I wanted to read it at some point. Unfortunately, as it tends to happen to older manga that aren’t super well known, it was actually very difficult to find. But I finally got my…
Have you guys watched ACCA-13? I did, and I really liked it. So much so in fact that I went on to read the entire manga series. It was good as well but I missed the colours. I then discovered that Natsume Ono had written a short spin-off series called P.S. (or ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection…
I remember reading about Happy Kanako’s Killer Life in a press release from Seven Seas and thinking it sounded like exactly the type of manga I would enjoy. I waited for it to actually come out for months and when it did, I ordered the first volume immediately. In the interim though, a few of…
(“The reason for portraying shadows is to depict light.”) –This is a story of redemption and self-redemption. Before writing this review of Vagabond, I gave it a lot of consideration. This piece is simply too unique. To be honest, this is the only manga review I’ve ever written that doesn’t have an over-the-top narrative or…
I don’t really review One Shots much. Mainly because I don’t get to read that many of them. Maybe I should seek them out more. One Shots are essentially manga short stories and I love short stories. I have to come clean. I read Gunji-sensei no Hisoka na Tanoshimi online and I’m not entirely sure…
I’ve managed to stack quite a few manga first impressions which have allowed me to hold out for full series reviews once in a while. Boys Run The Riot was a perfect candidate for that. It’s a relatively short series as it only has 4 volumes and the final one came out relatively recently. I…
I have noticed that there are a lot more manga about cats than about dogs. I have a feeling that Japan in general is more of a cat place. Not that they don’t have their share of notable and incredibly adorable dogs. It’s just that I mostly see manga and anime either about cats or…
As I write this, I have decided to buy a new tablet in an effort to convince myself to read more digital manga. Obviously, I bought the paper copy of the first volume of The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting. Baby steps folks! But I’m telling you I will make an effort to read more digitally….
I am back with a full manga review. I’m not sure which I enjoy more. First impressions or full reviews. They each have their own charm. In this case, though, the full series is complete in two volumes so There’s no real point in just reviewing the first one. Or to be more accurate, I…
There are a lot of alternative titles for this mang. My Love Mix-Up! is what’s on AniList and how you’ll find it at RightStuf. The original title is Kieta Hatsukoi. I’ve also seen it as Faded First Love and Vanishing My First Love, both of which sound way too dramatic for this story. In any…
If I had to summarize my experience with Suiyou Kyoudai (or Wednesday Siblings) in a single sentence it would be Suiyou Kyoudai is worth the cavities! Unfortunately, as far as I could find, this manga doesn’t yet have an official translation but I will be jumping on it the4 second it does. In the meantime,…
I really like science fiction and I don’t think I own any manga that qualifies as that. I guess Dark Dai is a comedy, horror, science fiction but that’s as close as it gets for me. I was hoping that No.5 would open up a whole new genre to explore. I guess I could always…
