Vol5: Chapter 3 – Thoughtful or instinctive

After wandering through town for a part of the afternoon and delivering the letters to the post office, who promised a safe delivery, but not a particularly quick one, Mirgia eventually made his way out of the town of Redsan and towards the home of Teddy and his wife. “If you leave the town on … Continue reading Vol5: Chapter 3 – Thoughtful or instinctive →

The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 21

With a rather large school arc now seemingly behind us, we returned home to the cottage at the end of the last volume, where it’s time to wind down and relax a little bit, having dealt with Philomela’s grandmother and the accompanying corruption. Yet trouble stirs almost immediately again as the actions that Chise took … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 21 →

Vol 5: Chapter 2 – The big green house for tallfolk

The big green house for tallfolk wasn’t just a good descriptor, apparently it had also been adopted as the actual name of the local inn. A large sign above the door displayed it proudly, although the second half of the word “tallfolk” barely fit and was curving downwards so as not to run out of … Continue reading Vol 5: Chapter 2 – The big green house for tallfolk →

Vol5: Chapter 1 – Strange Lands

“Do you think he’s going to be okay?” The first thing Mirgia heard when his consciousness returned to him was the voice of what seemed to be a young child. He felt his body shake as the cart he found himself in traversed the rough road. He squinted in the harsh sunlight of the midday … Continue reading Vol5: Chapter 1 – Strange Lands →

One Punch

If you came here for another scathing review about the dumpster fire that is One Punch Man season 3, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. While I did watch it, I don’t think there’s anything I can say that hasn’t been said already. Instead I want to talk about another anime that involved punching, … Continue reading One Punch →

Snow Day

It’s the first day of work of the new year. Or at least that’s what the schedule was until I woke up this morning. I’d already gotten an e-mail that the heating didn’t work at school, but administration said the temperature inside would be good enough to still teach. Doubtful, but I don’t make the … Continue reading Snow Day →

The Hesitant Hero – The story so far

Cobal As third prince in a relatively small and young kingdom, Cobal Blueyerd never expected his life to get nearly as exciting as it got. He was supposed to marry a noblewoman from a strenuous ally at some point to strengthen the kingdom’s political power, and this might still very well be on the table, … Continue reading The Hesitant Hero – The story so far →

Merry Christmas

Hi friends, I know I haven’t been on here a lot lately, and usually that’s a bad sign, but this time around I’ve just been busy with other things, but not in a bad way. Work has been busy but also good. The kids even voted for me in a sort of Christmas thing where … Continue reading Merry Christmas →
