Volume 110

It’s been a little while since we last covered a One Piece volume, but the latest one landed on my doormat the other day and I am excited to dive into it. Reading the chapters every week has been a ton of fun, but so much has been happening in the last few arcs that … Continue reading Volume 110 →

Bloatware

I got a new phone recently. My old one was a Oneplus which worked well for a couple of years, but with several issues on the battery I decided to just move on and get a new one, and after some looking around, I ended up going back to having a Samsung phone, even though … Continue reading Bloatware →

Life is changing

If you’re new here, strap in, if you’re not, you know how it is already, I’m a very inconsistent uploader. I make a ton of promises that I don’t end up keeping, and I’m about to do some more of that. Sometimes I need to remind myself that this is still a hobby and not … Continue reading Life is changing →

Thoughts on the new Pokémon

I’m going to keep this one relatively short since I don’t have a lot of nice things to say about the new title in the Pokémon series; Legends ZA.It’s a bit of a shame, since I was looking forward to it. The setting of having everything happen inside a big city sounded like a good … Continue reading Thoughts on the new Pokémon →

Turning 33 and pneumonia

Yesterday was my birthday, I turned 33. I spent most of the week(s) leading up to it feeling pretty awful due to somehow contracting pneumonia.

I went to the doctor … Continue reading Turning 33 and pneumonia →

The next few weeks went by relatively fast. The royal family announced Cobal and Diana’s engagement at a massive party, where nobles from around the country were invited. It didn’t escape Cobal that a group of nobles - mainly the ones who were on good terms with lord Darsivan Meduer - seemed unhappy about the … Continue reading Vol4: Chapter 31 – Epilogue →

All out of empathy

I used to keep up with political news - both US and international - almost daily, as a sort of twisted hyperfixation. Part of it was having friends who are directly affected by the things that happen over there, part of it was morbid curiosity. I got out of that about a year ago, significantly … Continue reading All out of empathy →

Vol 4: Chapter 30 – Return of the prince

It was a cold and dreary day when Cobal, Mana, Diana and their small caravan of servants drove into Saphestan. The streets reflected the snowy weather by feeling chilly and empty. Cobal shivered in the back of their carriage. Diana insisted they’d travel with their family’s carriage as the announcement they brought to the capital … Continue reading Vol 4: Chapter 30 – Return of the prince →

Soul Eater

The shonen manga genre is one that is very near and dear to my heart. It’s what I was first introduced to when I was younger and it’s a genre that I’ve always enjoyed, despite its flaws. And one of the major flaws of many shonen manga is the pacing of the story and the … Continue reading Soul Eater →
