Comic & Manga Reviews
The times seem to keep getting darker and darker in Something is Killing the Children #12. It's an impressive feat, given the title and nature of the series. This is a world where monsters are real and very hungry.
I'm just going to come right out and say it – this series keeps getting better and better. Spy x Family Vol. 11 might be my favorite thus far. Then again, I've been dying for more Spy x Family, so my excitement might be biasing it just a bit.
Eden tells the story of one desperate family trying to survive. Interestingly, their desperation comes in many forms. Gabe is a dreamer – he wants to see the good in everyone and everything. His wife is a realist – she'll look at everything in the worst light, so at least she'll never be disappointed. Meanwhile, their daughter is a tech genius who just needs to be given a chance to flourish.
Where has this series been all my life?! Okay, I know I'm being a little dramatic there, especially as I'm a few years behind on checking this series out. But it's perfection! The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 1 is a fantastic start to a series.
The Way of the Househusband continues to be a delightful and often hilarious read, even five volumes in. I can see why it's so popular (and why it has both an anime and a live-action series). It's so easy to relate to the characters, even when their backstories are so wildly different from our own.
The terrible tale of monsters hunting in one small town continues in Something is Killing the Children #11. Despite Erica Slaughter's best efforts (She didn't get that name for nothing!), the monsters are still rampaging.
Humanity has been discussing first contact with aliens for as long as we've daydreamed about space. In the far-flung future, that time is finally here. The Eo'Tax is an advanced civilization, and they're willing to work with humans to reach an understanding.
I have to admit that I'm enjoying this series way more than I expected! Dandadan Vol. 2 is just as funny as the first volume, but with a few new twists and complications to throw into the mix (like they didn't have enough to deal with!).
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol. 6 wastes no time throwing readers back into the deep end. To be fair, a lot is going on, so there isn't much time for hand-holding. We have enemies and allies galore, not to mention a few more twists in progress.
As it turns out, eradicating a monster population in a small town is not as easy as it sounds. Especially not when said monsters have had time to set up lairs and propagate. In Something Is Killing the Children #8, we're about to learn just how bad things can get. Again.
