The end is in sight as we finally reach a monumental milestone on our journey of reading through all of One Piece again. Volume 100. It took us about 2 years to get to this point and we only have a month or two to go until we’re fully caught up. It is very nice … Continue reading One Piece Volume 100

The world sucks right now
I spent the last week with a bad case of the flu. It’s been tough, but we’re recovering. I’m even going back to work tomorrow, for better or worse. I’ll just have the kids work in groups for a couple of days so that I don’t have to be too involved. It’s better than calling … Continue reading The world sucks right now
Vol 4: Chapter 1 – Tension
“I find it quite frankly preposterous that this outsider is even allowed to sit with us during these meetings.” The venomous sound he put on the word “outsider” was accompanied by a look in Mana’s direction, who was sitting at Cobal’s right hand side. He didn’t miss that she flinched at the bombardment of negativity … Continue reading Vol 4: Chapter 1 – Tension
One Piece Volume 99
99 volumes of manga on the wall, 99 volumes of manga.Take one down, pass it around, where am I again?Good morning everyone and let’s take this moment to acknowledge how crazy it is that we’re 99 volumes in!

The Hesitant Hero Volume 3 Recap
I had an absolute blast writing this volume. As much as I love some chapters in the first two volumes (the very first chapter of volume 1, the meeting with Dionil and the time spent in Fitseren in volume 2 come to mind) I feel like Marsolin as a setting just spoke to me. The … Continue reading The Hesitant Hero Volume 3 Recap

My favorite things of 2024
Now that we’re settled into 2025, let’s look back on the past year. It’s my first year medicated and that definitely helped me throughout. I got out of some slumps I was in and really managed to get a hold of my life. And throughout this all I’ve been consuming media. Some of these pieces … Continue reading My favorite things of 2024
The Hesitant Hero Volume 2 Recap
Volume 2 is probably my least good one of out the four drafts I’ve written up. I don’t want to be too negative about something I made myself, but I feel like it lacks a proper throughline and doesn’t really do much. It’s kind of like the second book in a trilogy where not much … Continue reading The Hesitant Hero Volume 2 Recap
One Piece Volume 97
The raid on Onigashima has started and with that the final act of Wano is underway. It’s a long act with lots of fighting and action, so let’s take this opportunity to approach this recap a little differently. Instead of going through everything like we normally do, let’s do a sped up version and then … Continue reading One Piece Volume 97
Quick Reviews – Fall 2024
I was browsing my anime planet account the other day to look back on 2024 and I realized that I watched very little throughout the year. I knew I watched less anime than previous years, but I was surprised it was as little as it was. I did end up getting into more manga though, … Continue reading Quick Reviews – Fall 2024
