Why is the Manga Always Better?

Posted on April 13, 2021April 13, 2021 by Irina

Ok, that title is clickbait. I baited you. I’m sorry. I don’t actually think the manga is always better than its adaptation. In fact, I’m one of the few people out there that tends to prefer the anime to the manga by default but that’s really not the norm. In general, you see manga readers…

Posted on April 12, 2021March 27, 2021 by Irina

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.

Quasi-professional blogger Irina on what changes when you *Have* to post

Posted on April 8, 2021March 14, 2021 by Irina

You know, I think that even quasi-professional is too strong a term here. I do like that title though, it makes me sound like a light novel protagonist! As some of you may know, a little while ago I started to publish more PR and Solicited posts. I always tell you when I do and…

Update on Blogger Decorum

Posted on April 7, 2021March 14, 2021 by Irina

When I first started blogging, I was lucky enough to get some help from more established bloggers and I took the opportunity to pick their brains as much as I could. That eventually lead to a collab post that is still dear to me where Remi and I just talked about the unspoken rules of…
