Comic & Manga Reviews
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.
Oh dear. Poor Hitori is soo shy. I just want to hug and protect her (but that would probably make her freak out, so I wouldn't actually do that). Bocchi the Rock! Vol. 1 is a gentle start to the series, introducing us to our primary character, her new friends, and the situation she's made for herself.
Ohhh! Time for more characters to get introduced, thanks to Fire Force Vol. 7. I know there's already a really full cast at this point, but I instantly felt compelled to learn more about Vulcan – everything I could get.
Erica Slaughter's journey seems far from over in Something Is Killing the Children #7. She may have killed the monster catching and eating children – but she hasn't ended events. Not yet, at any rate.
