Hana-Kimi Omnibus Vols. 1-3 Review
The beloved shoujo manga still maintains its charm after thirty years, even if the narrative reveals a few old cracks here and there.
― Towards the end of Hana-Kimi's second volume, Hisaya Nakajo wrote that before Hana-Kimi's success, she never penned a story that went beyond six chapters. She might not have expected her manga to achieve such international popularity either, even as she hastily drew ...

Kaya-chan Isn't Scary Volumes 2-4 Manga Review
It’s not quite as good as its most obvious sibling, Mieruko-chan, but it’s still a fascinating take on the ghost story.
― When I reviewed the first volume of Yuritaro's Kaya-chan Isn't Scary manga for the Manga Guide, I said that it was basically Mieruko-chan but in kindergarten. That holds true for the next three books, as the milder elements are gradually overshadowed by the horror, only deepening ...

Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights Visual Novel Review
Temirana is a light, sweet game that’s easy to pick up, put down, and play when you have the time and it’s long enough to feel worthwhile while also being short enough to feel like you can play to completion.

Shabake Anime Series Review
Shabake may have flown under a few radars as it was airing, but it's a solid show that deserves more attention.
― If you've been watching anime and reading manga for a while, you're probably familiar with the basic ayakashi, or spirits and supernatural beings, that crop up frequently. The kappa, the kitsune, the tanuki, the nopperabo…it'd be easy to assume that these and a few others make up the bulk...
