Comic & Manga Reviews
Every series needs a volume or two that wrap up previous plots, and for Witch Hat Atelier, that’s volume 13. That’s not a bad thing, as a lot has been going on. This volume helps to wrap up some loose ends from the current arc, while driving home the dangers of forbidden magic (duh).
Have I mentioned how I’ve recently become obsessed with Secrets of the Silent Witch? I first got addicted through the anime, but have since started reading both the manga and the light novels. It’s that good of a series, I promise.

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 a huge fan of The Apothecary Diaries since I picked up the first manga volume, just in time to get caught up before the anime aired. Now I’m stuck waiting for the next volume and season to drop, so I decided to dive headfirst into the Light Novels.
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.
