Cosmic Censorship Volume 1 Manga Review

Jul 1, 12:00 manga

That's not too far off from the way we more typically see “censor” and ...

BLACK BLOOD Manga Review

Jun 30, 12:00 manga

If you are or have ever been a connoisseur of the clang-clang, rest assured that Kuku gets it, and has provided a book that delivers. ― The surface-level selling points of a story can often be all it needs. The premise of Hayate Kuku's BLACK BLOOD certainly lends itself to the potential of denser themes: the nature of the human soul, the validity of suppressed and manipulated emotions that make peopl...

This is the sort of series I fully expect to see evolve over its ten-volume run. It’s as much about learning comfort levels and respect as it is about learning who it is you are or want to be. ― Note: I will be using he/him pronouns in this review, since as of this volume, that's what Makoto uses.
