I remember trying to read Naoki Urasawa’s 20th Century Boys years ago and not really getting into it. I didn’t think it was bad or anything, just not for me. I even said as much to a few of my fellow bloggers. Well, am I ever ready to eat my words. I decided to give…
I’ve been collecting manga for a little while now and I do enjoy it a lot. In an effort to branch out and maybe discover something I wouldn’t have otherwise, I asked for manga suggestions on Twitter and got a bunch back. It’s how I discovered Blank Canvas which I really dig. Among the people…
Does it still count as a manga if it’s a one-shot? Merry Unbalance Christmas is basically a very short story in manga form. The entire thing is just one chapter so if you were looking for a short little Christmas manga, that you can just finish while waiting for the goose to cook… I don’t…
Once you decide that fan translations are ok, it’s difficult to stop. Yup, The Solitary Castle in the Mirror is another manga that hasn’t quite been officially licensed yet. It’s actually based on a novel that might have an official translation. I’m afraid I didn’t do my homework there. The original title is Kagami no…
I’m really starting to rack up these manga first impressions. They are much easier to put together since reading a volume of the manga is way quicker than watching an entire season of anime. I might start doubling up on them on Mondays. They almost feel like episode reviews and I love reading new manga….
Well, this was quite the little ride. Another horror manga too. Maybe I should post about Versailles of the dead during my countdown to Halloween. I already have all my posts written up for October but I could squeeze one more. This is going to be quite the countdown! Maybe it’s just me but I…
I really like Q Hayashida. Admittedly I’ve only really seen/read two of her works but I clicked with both of them. I guess this is sort of a spoiler about what my first impression of Dai Dark was. I’m sorry, I’m probably going to make a whole bunch of comparisons to Dorohedoro. I can’t help…
A few months ago I decided to just buy a bunch of volume 1 manga that I didn’t know anything about and figured if I found something I liked I would continue it. This has backfired horribly. Not only did I like most of the series I started but I absolutely loved receiving a box…
Once again, I’m bringing you a full series review instead of a first impression. I got volume 1 of Yoshi no Zuikara at the same time as Eniale & Dewiela. I started it right away and after a chapter just casually Googled the series to find out more. What I did find out is that…
I think it’s time I changed my opening paragraph for these as I’ve been sticking to manga impressions for a while now. I guess Dear Noman could count as both since it’s a manga from a pixiv toon. So that’s like a webcomic, right? Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided…
So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as much webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…
Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to just buy a bunch of volume 1 manga that I didn’t know anything about and figured if I found something I liked I would continue it. This has backfired horribly. Not only did I like most of the series I started but I…
I had quite the ups and downs with Loner Life in Another World. I know this is originally a Light Novel series but I picked up the manga because I prefer manga. Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to just buy a bunch of volume 1 manga that I didn’t…
You may have noticed that the title of this post says manga review instead of manga first impression. That’s because BL Fans Love My Brother is actually complete in one volume so I read the whole thing! Yay. Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to just buy a bunch of…
I love the cover of this book! Also “Nyankees” is a great title! Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to just buy a bunch of volume 1 manga that I didn’t know anything about and figured if I found something I liked I would continue it. This has backfired horribly….
