By its second volume, Kill Blue isn’t quite as good as it started. ― There are a lot of stories about second chances spanning all demographics of manga, anime, and light novels. In most of those cases, the protagonist of the story desperately wants a chance to go back and fix a mistake or rectify a problem, and many others wallow in the nostalgic notion that life was somehow better in high school.

mono is an anime where the slice of life is done right, and makes for a worthy successor of its sibling series Yuru Camp. ― When I shipped up to Anime Boston this year, I distinctly remember a big banner advertising mono on display for any ongoers mozying their way up the escalator. Its display almost seemed boastful, as if it wanted to swallow people going further and further up the escalator with m...

To Sir, Without Love: I'm Divorcing You Novel Review

If you’re looking for true love, it’s in short supply in this series – in a healthy way, at least. ― Last year, I reviewed the first volume of the manga adaptation of To Sir, Without Love: I'm Divorcing You. I said at the time that the story was somewhat uncomfortable, and that, paradoxically, it would have benefited from being slightly more explicit, and that I was curious to read the original light...
