It’s a very appealing service, getting a box of snacks from Japan sent right to your door? Sign me up. Well, I waited a bit … Continue reading This post is (not) sponsored by Bokksu →

Spice & Wolf: Reboot & Town of Strife

Spice & Wolf was the very first light novel I ever bought. I bought this even before I ever bought a single manga volume or figure or anything related to anime and manga. The original Spice & Wolf anime was probably the first anime that really stuck with me. For a long time I considered … Continue reading Spice & Wolf: Reboot & Town of Strife →

Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 9

The unfortunate downside of Fukichi abandoning his search for Aya is that he can now aim his attention elsewhere. And that ‘elsewhere’ turns out to be the Detective Agency members. To be more specific, Tanizaki and Kunikida are in big trouble. But it seems like Atsushi is in even bigger trouble. He’s being held captive … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 9 →

One Piece Strong World: Chapter 0

One of the fun things about buying a box set instead of individual manga volumes is the bonuses that come with the boxes. For One Piece, these are small posters - which are folded so there’s no way they’ll ever look great on a wall - and small manga volumes of extra stories. When I … Continue reading One Piece Strong World: Chapter 0 →

One Piece Volume 32

Volume 32 is the first volume that is marked on the spine as being part of the Water Seven Arc. Unfortunately for us, we don’t quite get to Water Seven in this volume, but we do finish up Skypiea. I would have still labeled the volume as being purely Skypiea, but the back does include … Continue reading One Piece Volume 32 →

One Piece Volume 31

Last week we moved quickly towards the big clash between Luffy and Enel. With almost everyone being down for the count and Usopp and Sanji having pulled off a risky rescue mission, Luffy and Nami make their way back up the beanstalk to go to the Maxim. Luffy being made out of rubber makes him … Continue reading One Piece Volume 31 →

The mundane to contrast the insane.

In winter 2017, Kyoto Animation adapted Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid) into an anime. The first season had a runtime of 13 episodes and there was a sequel made in 2021, which had 12 episodes. If you’re here and you’ve never seen the anime then let me start off by recommending … Continue reading The mundane to contrast the insane. →

One Piece Episode 1071 (SPOILERS)

Hello everyone. This episode of One Piece was long anticipated, so I wanted to give my quick thoughts after watching it. If you’re not up to date on the One Piece anime or manga, please do not read this, it is basically just one big spoiler. I will also keep it short since I’m tired … Continue reading One Piece Episode 1071 (SPOILERS) →

Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 3

Dazai and Akutagawa meet before all of the current season transpires in a hidden place in the forest. That’s right, we’re diving straight in, just as the show seems to do. I doubt we’ll get an opening today if the credits are showing on top of this. Dazai asks for Akutagawa’s help with an upcoming … Continue reading Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 – Episode 3 →

One Piece – Volume 29

Most One Piece volumes are pretty similar in size and don’t take all that long to read. Probably less than half an hour on average. Volume 29 is a hefty one. Let’s not waste time and let’s jump right into it. We can summarize the first couple chapters pretty easily. Robin defeats Yama, the leader … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 29 →
