Hana-Kimi Omnibus Vols. 1-3 Review

Jan 7, 12:00 manga

The beloved shoujo manga still maintains its charm after thirty years, even if the narrative reveals a few old cracks here and there. ― Towards the end of Hana-Kimi's second volume, Hisaya Nakajo wrote that before Hana-Kimi's success, she never penned a story that went beyond six chapters. She might not have expected her manga to achieve such international popularity either, even as she hastily drew ...

Kaya-chan Isn't Scary Volumes 2-4 Manga Review

Jan 6, 12:00 manga

It’s not quite as good as its most obvious sibling, Mieruko-chan, but it’s still a fascinating take on the ghost story. ― When I reviewed the first volume of Yuritaro's Kaya-chan Isn't Scary manga for the Manga Guide, I said that it was basically Mieruko-chan but in kindergarten. That holds true for the next three books, as the milder elements are gradually overshadowed by the horror, only deepening ...
