Comic & Manga Reviews
I picked up Play It Cool, Guys Vol. 1 on a whim, because it sounded cute and funny. And it is! This series seems to be exactly what it promised: quirky nerds playing it cool on the surface, while having an absolute freak-out in their heads. Too relatable.
Junji Ito is a horror manga artist, which explains why the eyes in Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu are pure nightmare fuel. Seriously, I couldn’t get over them, and that kept me from getting too invested in the cat-themed hilarity. WHy? I kept waiting for something to go horrifically wrong.
I have been hearing about Dorohedoro for years. Seriously, it comes up on so many recommended lists, especially when I’m searching for something to read between some of my favorite series. So I decided to give it a go.
So, apparently, Magic Knight Rayearth I Vol. 1 is getting republished, so now seemed like the perfect time to give the series a try! I know I’m a decade late to this one; please don’t judge me too harshly.
Re:Anima Vol. 1 is an interesting start to a new series. It has unique hazards, a decimated planet, and determined characters. While it isn’t my favorite story out there, I’ll be the first to say that it has a lot of potential.
Sheltering Eaves Vol. 1 is a sweet and endearing story about two childhood friends figuring out where they stand with one another. It’s a classic slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance with a few unique twists.
Oh wow! Love, That's an Understatement Vol. 1 is such a shockingly sweet story, but not for the reasons you might expect. The story is all about two characters trying to take care of one another and make things right. It's cute, quirky, and sweet.
I wanted to love Kaina of the Great Snow Sea Vol. 1. The title and cover made it look like this story would be my ally. While I agree it has a lot of potential, it failed to suck me in before I finished the first volume.
Oh, I really like the premise of King in Limbo Omnibus 1. Sleeping sickness, dream divers, desperate characters, it’s got a bit of everything. This series is absolutely worth reading if you ask me.
Hooray, it's time for another manga with a long title! But seriously, Kusunoki's Flunking Her High School Glow-Up Vol. 1 is not what I expected. First, there's the obvious - I thought that Kusunoki would have been the main POV (the title and cover indicate that), but it's actually Keisuke Shizuki.
