Comic & Manga Reviews
Giga Town: The Guide to Manga Iconography is exactly what the title promises – a collection of guides and informative pages, all about the different symbols and icons used within manga. All while using cute creatures to help illustrate the point!
I've been reading Poorly Drawn Lines here and there for what feels like ages (I know, I need to be better at staying up with the comics), so I was excited to get my hands on Hope It All Works Out!
I picked up Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees on an impulse. The description and cover are so incongruous (intentionally so) that I knew it was worth reading. I was not disappointed. That said, don't dive into this book without understanding that you WILL be getting a woodland version of Dexter.
Guys, do not sleep on this series! It's absolutely fantastic! I went into The Glass Scientists expecting a fun but overall light read – and I was blown away by what I got. The Glass Scientists is quirky, quick-witted, and overwhelmingly charming. It swept me off my feet and left me wishing there was more (why yes, I am counting down the days to volume two, thank you for asking).
It's official: I love everything Kat Leyh writes. Snapdragon is so sweet and amazing; I couldn't get enough of it! No, seriously, is there going to be more?
Estranged is the perfect story for fans of fae and changelings. In truth, it's a perfect stepping stone for those who want to learn more about basic tropes and legends regarding fae. I'm not saying it's a simple story, but rather an approachable one.
Misfits have a way of finding one another. For this group of misfits, their home is Utown. It's not the cleanest or nicest neighborhood around, but it's theirs, and that's something! Or is it? Gentrification has a way of ruining everything, especially for those that have the least.
Charlie Spring is in Year 10 and one of the only guys in his school to come out as gay. That puts a lot of pressure on such a young soul. He survived the bullying, but now he has a different problem – he wants to walk from a "relationship" that isn't healthy for him.
A runaway teenager is on a strange trek across the country. She has only a mobile toy robot for company, making the ruins of the country feel all the more bleak. Everywhere she goes, she sees the effects of this technological apocalypse.
Emilia and Charlotte were the best of friends from the moment they met. They had so much in common and grew closer growing up together. That is until the unthinkable happened: Charlotte died in 2018 after struggling with depression for years.
