My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Manga Series Review

Dec 13, 12:00
1 comment
manga
Vigilantes breaks the spin-off mold by shattering expectations, at times rivaling or even exceeding its progenitor manga. ― Spin-offs often come with the expectation that they're mere money-grabs, cynical exercises in milking popular franchises. Plenty of popular shonen manga receive short-lived spin-offs, most often comedic or episodic in nature, and they're rarely essential reads, even for die-hard...

You And I Are Polar Opposites Volumes 2-7 Manga Review

Dec 12, 12:00 manga
The story does a lot with setting up expectations, flipping them on their heads, but then making the reason for why they were flipped on its head different than what you would originally expect. ― One thing that caught me off guard about You and I are Polar Opposites was just how quickly our main couple got together. It's very rare nowadays to have a slice of life comedy romance where the two main le...
