Baroque Works Recap
Baroque is a French word and it refers to a style of architecture, music, painting, sculptures and other artforms that were around in early 17th century Europe. Now I looked through the Wikipedia article for this for a little bit and I have to admit I’m not smart enough to see a connection between the … Continue reading Baroque Works Recap
One Piece – Volume 23
The final volume of the first box set and the conclusion of the second major saga: Baroque Works. We’re speeding through this, but there’s so much more amazing content on the horizon that I don’t really mind. Besides, at this rate it’s still going to take until 2025 before we even get to the volumes … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 23
The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 16
Quick addition before I upload this, but I looked at my volume 15 review and we were still in lockdown back when I put that out. It’s been so much longer than I thought it was. Time is so weird these days. I know it’s been a little while since I’ve gone through one of … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 16

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 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
