Ren Arisugawa Is Actually a Girl Manga Review

Dec 18, 12:00 manga

If you’ve been reading manga for awhile, chances are you’re familiar with the basic set up of Ren Arisugawa Is Actually a Girl. ― Norito Asaduki's Ren Arisugawa Is Actually a Girl is an interesting work. Not so much for anything it does within its text, but because of its place within fiction broadly today. It's a digitally published manga in a vertical format, which would suggest that it's a work pu...

The story becomes impenetrably incoherent to anyone without a PhD in Akutami’s fictional curse mechanics. ― What is it about recent big shonen hits that involve their protagonists engaging in cannibalism? My Hero Academia was bad enough, with Izuku Midoriya inheriting All Might's quirk by ingesting his hair.

A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation Volumes 1-10 Manga Review
