Chapter Twenty-two – Diplomatic Immunity

Several days went by and Mana quickly got the hang of the assignment that Dionil set for them. After the third day she could lift the book up and open it to a random page. More precision than that was still beyond her, but it was a lot more than Cobal could say. He’d been … Continue reading Chapter Twenty-two – Diplomatic Immunity →

Video killed the radio star

About 90% of manga and anime I consume are pure escapism. I watch and read these things because there’s cool fights, fun sports or adorable romance.

Fairy, where you going?

When looking for pictures to use for this review, I thought for a moment this was Lucy from Fairy Tail, but instead it's Rebecca from Mashima's current manga: Eden's Zero.

My path of storytelling

Chapter Twenty – All cards on the table

“I don’t understand.” Cobal’s mind was racing but he couldn’t understand what he had just heard. “You don’t mean they killed him themselves right? Did he get sent out on a mission he didn’t survive, did he get poisoned or something?”Mana shook her head. “When I was sent to this world, I learned two things. … Continue reading Chapter Twenty – All cards on the table →
