Chapter 29 – The way forward

Mana and Eliana were seated at the bar, talking with Clara about something that Cobal wasn’t paying any attention to right now. His attention was instead solely focused on his friend sitting across from him in the Phantom Homestead. There were no other customers but even with the privacy they had, Cobal struggled to start … Continue reading Chapter 29 – The way forward →

One Piece Volume 79

Today is the day we finish up Dressrosa. Not my favorite arc in the series by any means, but it still had some pretty solid highlights throughout. Although it was dragged out like crazy in the anime, the fact that the fighters and people had to defend Luffy for 10 minutes as he regained his … Continue reading One Piece Volume 79 →

Chapter 28 – Letters

Chapter Twenty-Eight Letters When Cobal woke up in the morning it was already light out and he realized he’d overslept quite a bit. Not that he had anywhere to go in particular, but his body must have been really exhausted after the previous day.

Chapter 27 – Aftermath

“Shit.” Cobal kicked over the bench where his brother sat earlier. “What do we do now?”“There are a few things, but let’s start by making sure Grac is alright. I’m confident that with that flashy exit they’re not coming back anytime soon so that shouldn’t be one of our worries.” Eliana seemed to have recovered … Continue reading Chapter 27 – Aftermath →

This volume … Continue reading One Piece Volume 77 →

Stay away from negative reviews

I know, I know, it’s probably not the most logical thing to say as someone who regularly reviews manga and anime, but I think it’s still good advice. Let me explain myself. After a friend of mine recommended that I watch the recent Kaiju No. 8, I went and binged the entire show in a … Continue reading Stay away from negative reviews →

Chapter 26 – Family

“How are you, what are you, why are you here?” Cobal couldn’t even find the right question.“I should ask you the same thing, why are you in a foreign country sneaking into a destroyed building.” Selvia gasped. “Not that I’m not happy to see you, but it’s very dangerous here.”“Is this someone you know?” Eliana … Continue reading Chapter 26 – Family →
