My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending Volumes 1-2 Manga Review
Kazuki is a very boring, nothing character that is strictly driven by his survival and he needs to spend most of the story riding a very thin line.

Drops of God Season 2 Live-Action Series Review
Sometimes the only way to save something you love is to destroy it utterly. Sometimes, destroying what you love doesn't save anything at all.
