games

Prophecy of the Throne tells a compelling story that satisfied me greatly as a Re:Zero fan. It has everything I like about the original series: An intriguing mystery, fun characters, entertaining dialogue, and clever foreshadowing. ― The anime world is filled with cheap tie-in visual novel games aimed at niche collectors, very few of which get localized. In fact, this isn't even the first Re:Zero con...

manga

The romance, therefore, has a lot of work to do to conquer the women's assumptions about each other and to steer them in the right direction. ― Days of Love at Seagull Villa is Naoko Kodama's third title (not counting short stories in anthologies) to be translated into English, and it almost feels like she's reworked elements from both of those other two titles into this one: Mayumi's fiancé and her ...

manga

Asa is the kind of spitfire heroine that's easy to get behind – she's vulnerable in what she doesn't say and afraid of pretty much nothing, possibly because if she stops to be afraid she'll never get moving again. ― Although it's not strictly a post-war story, Asadora's first volume is steeped in the trauma of WWII, primarily in how it affected the everyday people and the soldiers who came home.
