Bungo Stray Dogs 5 – Episode 1

I don’t want to imply that I’m still half awake, but I just tried to title this document by editing the url and not the post title. I caught it in time though. Crisis averted. Speaking of crises, when the previous season of Bungo Stray Dogs ended, things were not looking particularly well for the … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs 5 – Episode 1 →

One Piece Volume 27

Isn’t it crazy that this manga is giving Wapol a better character arc than some main characters get in other stories? Maybe that’s an exaggeration but the fact that a disgraced and defeated king turns into a toy vendor is a wild direction to take. I don’t believe this stuff was ever added to the … Continue reading One Piece Volume 27 →

Quick Reviews: Otaku Elf, Yamada-Kun & A Galaxy Next Door

It’s summer. The season of sunshine and being outdoors. The season of eating ice cream and reading on the nice chair. It’s the season of, you guessed it, code red weather alerts. When I woke up this morning I heard the rain - it’s the 5th of July as I’m writing this, by the way … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Otaku Elf, Yamada-Kun & A Galaxy Next Door →

Chapter Twenty-Four – Destination Marsolin

The following morning Eliana called everyone to the central area of the cove, where there was a large open space. She stood upon a small wooden podium with Fareh and Majar to her side.

Chapter Twenty-Three – Aftermath of the Raid

There was an eerie silence when Cobal stepped out of the temple. He hadn’t really picked up on it earlier but there were no sounds of fighting at all now. Just as they were walking out into the rain they spotted movement in the nearby bushes. The sun had all but vanished beyond the horizon … Continue reading Chapter Twenty-Three – Aftermath of the Raid →

One Piece Volume 25

We’re now 25 volumes into the story and we’ve firmly made it into the 21st century. This volume came out in 2002 even, but I’m confident the chapters were earlier. This volume is a great combination of funny chapters, action panels and an unholy amount of new lore. So without wasting time, let’s get right … Continue reading One Piece Volume 25 →

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 17

I promised I’d go through these volumes quickly and this volume is a lot more action packed than the previous one. Generally action scenes in manga don’t require a whole lot of discussion but Magus Bride is much more interesting in the way that it portrays its fights. It’s never about the fights, it’s about … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 17 →
