Comic & Manga Reviews
I went into Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 11 feeling a bit conflicted. On the one hand, I'm eager to see where this arc goes! (Especially as the stakes are so high). But I was also a bit hesitant, as this is the last of Witch Hat Atelier until May (2024). I know it's not a huge wait, but still! I've gotten used to binging the series.
Whew. The power scale sure is shifting fast! I think Solo Leveling Vol. 4 may have upped the scales the most thus far. At least, it feels that way. Basically, once [spoiler ability] got unlocked, all bets went off the table.
Top Ten Tuesday: Isekai
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Has got to be one of the more unique series I've read (side note: Yes, I've heard of Delicious in Dungeons, it's on my list). I love the strange balance this series has struck between fantasy, food, monsters, and romance.
By complete accident, Maomao has begun to make a name for herself within the inner palace. Some of her reputation is good (her knowledge of medicine, plants, and poisons), some less so (her love of ingesting poison). It makes for a comical balance as we read along.
What would you do if you were trapped in the last dating sim you played? Depending on the difficulty, you'd probably panic, right? I know I would (and I don't even play dating sims!). Penelope is proving her mettle in Villains Are Destined to Die Vol. 2, as she tackles each challenge thrown her way.
Eeee! Sorry, but I’ve been waiting months (MONTHS) for Spy x Family Vol. 12, and it’s finally here! I’m so excited, to put it mildly. The cover had me hoping that we’d maybe be getting more backstory about Twilight’s handler, but even if we didn’t, I knew I’d enjoy the story.
She's My Knight Vol. 2 was and wasn't everything I expected from this sequel. Let me break that down into two parts. First, it absolutely continues the cutesy and funny romantic plot introduced in the last volume.
Another chaotic adventure! I'll admit that parts of Dandadan Vol. 5 were a bit more tense than usual (think of Momo's first encounter with the aliens, and you'll have a close enough idea). I didn't love it, but the stakes had to be set, right?
Has it really only been three volumes? I feel like I've been reading so much of The Apothecary Diaries! To be clear – I'm not complaining. I'm thrilled that I have so much more to go through as I've come to love the series.
