Box of Light is a short 2 volume manga series that is a nice little respite from the ordinary. It’s one of those titles that I think I enjoyed more than the average reader, but I think you might enjoy it too.

To Your Eternity 2 ep. 7- Noble
I now remeber just how harsh To Your Eternity can be. I think that because Fushi is immortal and can turn into other characters, at least physically, the writer feels ok with just massacaring everyone else. You just shouldn’t get attached to anyone. I had been lulled into a fals sense of security but I’m…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 6- Betrayal
It turns out the official title of this episode is “Betrayed”. I swear I had already picked my post title when I saw it. It’s just that this episode was very specific and there’s little else you could call it. Except for maybe “Luck”. Buckle in, this episode was quite a ride!
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 5- Love
Well, they’re just rewriting all the rules in To Your Eternity all of a sudden. I’m not against it. It’s certainly ambitious to introduce so many paradigm-shifting ideas in the span of two episodes but it can be invigorating. This said it can also turn out to be a disaster if they don’t know how…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 4- 6th Sense
Hmmmm… I said it before, there is something about To Your Eternity that’s just different. The way it treats its characters, the way it acknowledges morality but never quite commits to anything, and the way it insists on the mundane horrors when the story is full of supernatural. And it doesn’t always stick the landing, but…
Daily Life of the Immortal King 2 – Going Home Again
Ling Wang is an average, everyday, ordinary student at a perfectly normal magic academy for spiritual power. You know the type. And since the world ended a few months ago, he’s been enjoying his average ordinary everyday life. Or at least he’s been trying to. There have been a few hiccups with his figure (the seal that…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 3- Friends
Hmmm. I’m perplexed. This season of To Your Eternity is not going in the direction I expected. If nothing else, I have to give it to this show for not bowing to convention. I’m not ready to say whether this is a good thing or not.
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 2- Useless
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate this episode. In fact, I liked it in a lot of ways. I mean fat Fushi is one of my favorite sights and I want a keychain of him. But when it came time to find a title, the only word that came to mind was: useless. Also,…
Shi ni Aruki
It’s actually Halloween! Happy Halloween everyone. I hope you get lots of treats in your preferred form. I hope you have fun and that your costume is not too uncomfortable. And if you’re not going to wear a costume, I still hope you’re not too uncomfortable! Since Halloween falls on a Monday this year, it…
To Your Eternity 2 ep. 1- Loneliness
Some of you may know that I reviewed the first season of To Your Eternity episodically. The links at the bottom of this post would probably have clued you in. So naturally, I wanted to continue for season 2. The first season of To Your Eternity was uneven. It had some great highs, a few…

Rozi in the Labyrinth – Manga Review
Rozi is a curious mix of cute, adorable and yet creepy. A perfect read for this time of year! As some of you may know, I occasionally just buy first volumes of manga I know nothing about for fun. I am slowly starting to collect them on kindle which I enjoy a lot and I…
Sankarea: Undying love – Chihiro and the Dead Girl
Titles: Sankarea Genre: Horror, drama, comedy, supernatural, romance, ecchi Episodes: 12 + 1 (I Too Am A Zombie) Studio: Studio DEEN I remember when twilight came out and a large number of people made fun of young women for finding pale vampire boys attractive. But you know what, it’s not like boys aren’t just as…
The Devil is a Part-Timer! 2 Episode 12 – That’s That
I seriously almost forgot I was still watching this show. Forgetting about a show at the last episode is almost impressive. Admittedly, it’s a very busy period at work lately and I haven’t been getting all that much sleep so part of it is on me. Still, I would like to put some of the…
