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…
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…
For some reason, I suddenly decided that I wanted to read manga that had food as a strong theme. I’m not sure why, I was just in that sort of mood. So I went through AniList and looked up manga that had Fodd as a tag and for the most part, I was rewarded. It’s…
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…
When I found out that the Voynich Hotel was complete in 3 volumes, I decided to wait until I had finished the entire series before talking about it on this blog. Unfortunately, when I went to order the last 2 volumes, they were out of stock. I’m too impatient to wait until they come back…
Sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith and that’s what I did with this manga. I saw the cover, a dapper-looking gentleman serving champaign in a tuxedo next to a penguin doing the same. I saw the title, obviously Penguin Gentlemen. And I thought, say no more, this is going in my…
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…
Despite everything I wrote, I’m still buying physical manga. For example this first volume of Fairy Tale Battle Royale. You know one thing that’s really nice about having actual physical copies, aside from the no bleu light? It’s being able to lend them out to people. Lately, I’ve turned into something of a mini manga…
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….
This is actually a review of both 20th Century Boys and 21st Century Boys but it made the title too long. Besides, as you will find out later, I’m not sure you can really consider there two separate series. Now some of you may have heard me say in the past that I tried to…
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,…
