Dead Account Manga Review

Dec 24, 12:00 manga
After reading Dead Account, I think this work is going to be my new go-to example of “shonen slop,” but that being said, this is pretty good slop. ― I think a person's enjoyment of Shizumu Watanabe's Dead Account will mostly boil down to their ability to tolerate characters talking like Redditors nonstop. On its surface, Dead Account promises a deeper examination of the growing intersection between s...

It's Just a Dream...Right? Volume 1 K-Comic Review

Dec 23, 12:00 korean
This is a book you pick up when you're just looking for some mindless BL smut. ― If the premise of White Eared's It's Just a Dream…Right? sounds like a thinly veiled excuse for the main characters to have sex, that's probably a feeling you should go with. While many a work of either romance or erotic fiction has operated on an even thinner pretext, this one certainly doesn't bury its purpose very dee...

Dec 22, 12:00

For this reincarnated salaryman, a life as an unwanted noble’s son is a ticket to a new beginning, but an easygoing life is a long way off. ― Human creativity is unendingly interesting to me. We are in an unprecedented time of stories that start in incredibly similar ways, and yet, each story is different enough for us to warrant taking time to tell you all about it.
