When the girl next door turns out to be your sexy selfie idol, and falls butt-first into your face, you know you’re in a manga comedy. ― This manga was the manga-est of all manga volumes I have read in the past year. Not a single thing that happens actually happens, but they all happen here, one after the other, to create a suggestive sit-com of manga situations. Narumi, who was traumatized for tryin...

Plus-sized Misadventures in Love! Volume 1-3 Manga Review

Dec 28, 12:00

manga

This went from being a story I was cautious about to a story that I think needs to be told more. ― Plus-size representation in media is very rare, and it's even more rare when it is positive representation. Anime doesn't have the best track record with displaying people of more unique body types in flattering ways, so making a plus-size person the literal face of your entire manga is admirable on its...

Drops of God: Mariage Volume 6-7 Manga Review

Dec 27, 12:00 manga

This manga about the perfect marriage of food and drink finally finds the perfect marriage of character and plot. ― Now that we are in the middle of this sequel to Drops of God, the story is really hitting its stride once again. Shizuku lost the first round (to prove himself worthy of the challenge of identifying the “Drops of God”) to Issei, saved a local western-style izakaya from competitors and j...
