The legendary pirate captain, Rocks D Xebec. The man who was once on equal footing with Roger and who was the leader of a band of fighters which included three of the modern day emperors as well as Shiki the golden lion who we’ve mostly seen in the One Piece movie Strong World, but was … Continue reading Rocks D Xebec (Manga spoilers)

10 years since Orange
At the time of watching Orange for the first time, there were not very many drama romance shows I was familiar with. I didn’t really start my (shallow) dive into romance manga yet, and shonen action was definitely still my preferred genre (alongside Isekai). So a really solid drama like Orange - although not my … Continue reading 10 years since Orange
My guilty pleasure manga
I’m slowly working on my top 10 manga list, which has proven to be quite difficult. I haven’t read nearly as many manga as I’ve watched anime, and often the reason for picking up a manga in the first place is the fact that I really enjoyed the anime and wanted more of the same, … Continue reading My guilty pleasure manga
The one called Sailor Moon
The first time I ever even really heard about Sailor Moon was through an Achievement Hunter video back in the day. Ray - who is now a Twitch streamer that I still watch after more than a decade - had a Tuxedo Mask skin in Minecraft and that was the first time I heard of … Continue reading The one called Sailor Moon
The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 21
With a rather large school arc now seemingly behind us, we returned home to the cottage at the end of the last volume, where it’s time to wind down and relax a little bit, having dealt with Philomela’s grandmother and the accompanying corruption. Yet trouble stirs almost immediately again as the actions that Chise took … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride Volume 21
12 years since Rage of Bahamut: Genesis
Welcome to a new series I’m starting in 2026 in which we will revisit old series that I personally remember fondly to see if they hold up or not. This won’t be a weekly series, but there will be regular uploads. We’re starting with Rage of Bahamut: Genesis today. 2000 years after a disastrous battle … Continue reading 12 years since Rage of Bahamut: Genesis
One Punch
If you came here for another scathing review about the dumpster fire that is One Punch Man season 3, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. While I did watch it, I don’t think there’s anything I can say that hasn’t been said already. Instead I want to talk about another anime that involved punching, … Continue reading One Punch
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
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
One Piece Volume 109
It’s been a hot minute, hasn’t it? I checked the date on the previous volume’s post and it was back in April, which is the distant past by now. Of course I’ve been keeping up with the manga’s weekly releases and the anime as well and both have been brilliant, but it was really nice … Continue reading One Piece Volume 109
