BEASTARS Volumes 5-22 Manga Review

Mar 7, 12:00

manga

This is not a series that will make it clear everything will be all right, as it doesn't offer solutions to its problems, even by the very end. ― BEASTARS is such a fascinating series on paper, with themes and setups that are beginning to seem more commonplace. Using anthropomorphic, furry characters as an allegory for real-world issues can have mixed results, especially when the separation between s...

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 7—Steel Ball Run Volumes 1-5 Manga Review

Mar 6, 12:00

manga

Steel Ball Run is easily Jojo’s most bizarre adventure yet. ― Even by Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (JJBA) standards—which, to be clear, is an absurdly high bar to clear—Steel Ball Run (SBR) is absolutely, positively, aggressively, relentlessly, and lovably capital-W Weird. As vast as it is, the world of manga simply doesn't get wilder than this. Dare I say, SBR is easily Jojo's most bizarre adventure yet...

A young prince snuck out of the castle to listen to her song, but when he tried to see her, her monstrous instincts forced her to react, scratching out his eyes. The wolf felt terrible about this because ...

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...
