Exploring the magic of anime and manga.
Normally I wouldn't do a mid-season check-in, but I've come to realise I don't really know what I love this season anymore since I just watched a few weeks' worth of anime over the past few days... After all my lamenting of being behind in this Demon Slayer collab post, the side effects are starting to... Continue Reading →
Inspired by Karandi's lamentation of pure romance series in anime. My recommendation to Karandi in the comments section of the linked post was to read some manga. Not all of these are pure romance, but I'm currently in a bit of a writing slump due to being stuck somewhere between my KyoAni anime for OWLS... Continue Reading →
After prowling about Sally After Words, I discovered something interesting... ...and that "something" was that you can get ARC manga. I'd only heard of an ARC from the book bloggers I'd read posts from, but an ARC is an "advance(d?) reader's copy", given by the publishers (sometimes for free!) to produce hype for upcoming books....

Inspired by this Anime Feminist post. After finding a 4th volume of Dr Stone at the library and finishing it, I think it'll be interesting to see people's reactions (especially those guys at Anime Feminist, if they even bother) to the anime adaption of the mini tournament arc that's being set up in that volume....

The problem with Fruits Basket: Another is that Takaya still seems to be in love with her old characters… Fruits Basket: Another, as a sequel to an anime (albeit a reboot/continuation) that’s airing right now, is timed to fill a Fruits Basket itch with an artstyle that better resembles what’s on the screen right now....

A good manga is one that you can devour volumes of quickly and then ask for more of, right? As I’ve been reading one volume of manga after another, I came to the... Continue Reading →
Inspired by Cactus Matt's list. These are ranked by likelihood of happening (as of their stats as I type this post, so the 6th of July 2019 in my timezone) and personal preference for what I want adapted as a tiebreaker. If I haven't stated in the discussion where it's available from, you'll see that... Continue Reading →
Is this the Next Big Thing??? Maybe I just exaggerate my feelings when I'm in the middle of consuming a piece of media (anime/manga included, and especially when potential husbandos are involved), but Heart Gear - this new Manga Plus series I found - is really cool. Basically, Heart Gear stars Lu, the only human in... Continue Reading →
As a self-professed fan of transformations (but having just as big a dislike of ecchi and hentai), it’s hard to find a good gender-bender manga that isn’t about getting off…so to speak. Meta context: Hmm...this post just makes me realise how out of my depth I really am when talking about the LGBTIQ+ community, even... Continue Reading →
