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...

The Greatest Wolf of My Life Volume 1 K-Comic Review

Jan 13, 12:00 korean

The Greatest Wolf of My Life is an immensely entertaining story in its first volume. ― In any other manhwa, or manga or light novel, a pop star moving into the apartment next door would be the first sign of a budding romance for an ordinary young woman. Not in Ran's The Greatest Wolf of My Life - for Eunbyul, having Kang Bin show up in the shabby rooftop studio next door to hers, it's the beginning o...

In an anime landscape where video game isekai are standard issue, A Wild Last Boss Appeared! is easily one of the more ambitious—and certainly better animated—such titles. ― We never technically learn the name of the protagonist of A Wild Last Boss Appeared!

Sometimes the only way to save something you love is to destroy it utterly.

Maybe there are some pe...
