Whoever Steals This Book Anime Film Review

Jan 16, 12:00 anime

Whoever Steals This Book is, unfortunately, one of those films that is 100% style over substance. ― Whoever Steals This Book is a film filled to the brim with imagination.

My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending Volumes 1-2 Manga Review

Jan 14, 12:00 manga

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. ― On the one end, I do appreciate a series that really likes to just cut out all the fat. When Death Flags starts, we don't get any set-up or preamble about our protagonist's past life or how he found himself in the circumstances that he does. He just wak...
