Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Volumes 2-6 Manga Review

Mar 5, 12:00 manga
Iruma’s early adventures fully coalesce in this set of volumes with its shorter arcs. ― It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that, since Ameri's father's name is Henri, her name is almost certainly meant to be Amélie. That's really neither here nor there, but it does add an interesting extra layer to one of the major plotlines in this set of volumes: Ameri is a closet shoujo manga fan. N...

MARRIAGETOXIN Volume 2-11 Manga Review

Mar 4, 12:00

manga
For a series with the word TOXIN in the title, this series is anything but TOXIC. ― When I reviewed the first volume of MARRIAGETOXIN, I wrote it off as a fairly solid action series with a very lovable lead. The idea of a socially awkward yet incredibly capable assassin willingly throwing himself into harm's way for the sake of protecting his sister was a solid setup, and I very much thought that the...

Dynasty Warriors Origins: Visions of Four Heroes Game DLC Review

Mar 3, 12:00 games
Visions of Four Heroes is really good in unexpected ways, but fails to deliver what I really wanted. ― Dynasty Warriors Origins: Visions of Four Heroes is a conflicted DLC that somehow manages to overdeliver and miss the mark all at once. I'm going to be blunt: this DLC was not at all what I expected. I very much enjoyed the base game of Origins, which was a robust and modern take on a franchise that...

What we got certainly wasn't bad, but it was also fairly forgettable, and for a new interpretation of an old classic, it's hard to think of a more disappointing outcome than that. ― I walked away from the first half of the Cat's Eye remake feeling mostly unimpressed, as the combination of its bland capers and even blander central romance didn't leave a whole lot to latch onto. To its credit, the seco...
