Where last volume we were bombarded with lore and worldbuilding, this volume we spend most of our time with fights and scraps in and around the island. I’m guessing this recap will end up being a lot shorter than some of the others, but that’s fine too. Wapol’s mini-arc gets completed in this volume by … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 28

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 18
The cover for this volume shows us Chise, Philomela and Alcyone. But who is Chise reaching for here? I was going to write more quick reviews for this week, but then something landed in my mailbox that took priority. I have been patiently waiting for this eighteenth volume of The Ancient Magus Bride and I … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 18
One Piece Volume 26
Wapol and having to quickly get away from danger, name a more iconic duo. Hello everyone, we’re talking about Volume 26 of One Piece today and I figured I’d start with the cover stories for a change. Most of the time I keep them until the end of a post, or I forget about them. … Continue reading One Piece Volume 26
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
Netflix’s One Piece
Man oh man, did I think I was going to just pretend this wasn’t happening. But unfortunately we live in a world where a One Piece live action is happening and there’s nothing we can do about it. Live action adaptations of anime have a pretty bad track record, I personally can’t think of a … Continue reading Netflix’s One Piece

I feel like every Sunday I’m having to brace myself for what is coming … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 24
Solo Leveling Review (Spoilers)
I first started reading Solo Leveling quite a few years ago. It came highly recommended so I gave it a shot. I read up until the job quest and got bored of the story around that point so I stopped reading it. After repeated recommendations recently I decided to give it another shot. This time … Continue reading Solo Leveling Review (Spoilers)
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
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
