One Piece – Volume 22

Somehow both so much and so little happens in this volume. We move the story forward only a little bit in time, and we’re paying attention to the countdown towards disaster, but everything that happens, happens in maybe thirty minutes or less. This is the second to last volume in the Baroque Works Saga and … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 22 →

One Piece Chapter 1085 (Spoilers)

I know I’ve mainly been talking about the older volumes of One Piece on here. I’m not great at looking at every small detail of a manga and making an interesting post out of it, so I mainly just look at bigger pictures and pick out a few interesting details to talk about. But after … Continue reading One Piece Chapter 1085 (Spoilers) →

Writing heavy storylines

Oh boy. I’m not going to lie, I struggled a lot with this chapter. Not because I can’t deal with this darker content, but I really wanted it to be written in a way that felt very human. I’ve seen a lot of anime that have slavery as a plot point - almost all of … Continue reading Writing heavy storylines →

The Necromancer’s Daughter – Chapter Six

The Amethyst that split the sky I Meloreana I“So that’s her?” Meleorana dropped the magic that kept her hidden and took shape in the corner of the small hut. The old man was still staring at the glass orb sitting on the table. The two young women had left a while ago and were probably … Continue reading The Necromancer’s Daughter – Chapter Six →

One Piece – Volume 21

We were introduced to Hachi’s seafloor walk in the previous volume, but I do believe this is the first mention we’ve seen of the fashion brand Crimin. As Hachi continues his journey on the seafloor he also comes across the mermaid Caimie and the starfish Pappagu. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 21 →

8 Years as a mailman

When I first started working at the mail, almost 8 years ago, I had no real direction in life. I had just finished my business economics degree and although those two years were a lot of fun (I mainly played Hearthstone in class instead of paying attention) I had only learned one thing throughout the … Continue reading 8 Years as a mailman →

Vol 2: Chapter Twenty – A banquet fit for a prince

True to her word, Captain Tidescreecher had her crew set up a feast in a matter of minutes. The tables were already set up and the fire that was mainly used for heat was quickly converted into a grill. Cobal finally managed to place some of the noises he was hearing earlier, there were some … Continue reading Vol 2: Chapter Twenty – A banquet fit for a prince →

One Piece – Volume 20

This series is called One Piece Wednesday and today is Thursday. What this means is that someone - not going to name any names - forgot to upload this post yesterday. So instead you’re getting it a day late. But it’s still just as good, so enjoy! I’ve not talked too much about the volume … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 20 →

I read a Stephen King book

After all these years I finally sat down again and read a book by Stephen King. I remember reading his story The Long Walk as a child and being absolutely horrified by the concept of it. For those who haven’t read it, it’s a story about a marathon where the winner wins an amazing prize … Continue reading I read a Stephen King book →

Vol 2: Chapter Nineteen – Captain Tidescreecher

“So you’re telling me that a prince was sailing on a merchant vessel without a personal guard to try and find a pirate captain to help out with some sort of magic problem?” The captain’s tied up hair was sticking out from under the almost comically large hat she was wearing and her piercing eyes … Continue reading Vol 2: Chapter Nineteen – Captain Tidescreecher →
