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!
Review: Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees
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.
Review: Crave
I'm not going to lie – I 100% picked up Crave to read because of that cover. It's stunning! I knew right away that I would love Maria Llovet's art style, and I was right. While I didn't end up loving the whole of the story, I did appreciate the art the whole way through.
Manga Monday: My Lovesick Life as a ’90s Otaku Vol. 1
This is such a cute and relatable story! My Lovesick Life as a '90s Otaku Vol. 1 is both humorous and heartbreaking in equal measure. It's perfect for readers looking for a bit of nostalgia, though they might find it more relatable than they like.
Manga Monday: My Ultramarine Sky
Another endearing and slow-burn romance! My Ultramarine Sky is very genuine and sweet, as two teenagers realize their friendship is actually something more. You love to see it happen (especially when it goes well).
Review: Wolfpitch
I love checking out new graphic novels by creatives I (personally) have never heard of. Wolfpitch was a unique and entertaining delight, with the perfect blend of music, paranormal elements, and compelling characters.
Manga Monday: How to Treat a Lady Knight Right Vol. 1
How to Treat a Lady Knight Right Vol. 1 is the first in a new (to me) series about a lady knight and her scarred nature. I mean that in many ways, as she carries more than physical scars. It's a fine balance of humor and romance, with just a touch of fan service on the side.
Review: Nothing Special Vol. 1: Through the Elder Woods
I'm not gonna lie – I've been meaning to dig into Nothing Special for WAY too long. So, obviously, I was thrilled when I saw that Nothing Special Vol. 1 was on the publication lineup. It's the perfect excuse to get caught up (in theory).
Review: Whisper of the Woods
If you're a fan of folklore, retellings, and graphic novel formatting for horror stories, you'll love Whisper of the Woods. It's chilling and compelling in equal measure, which is a unique art style. By the end, you'll wish there was more.
Manga Monday: Sayabito: Swords of Destiny Vol. 1
Sayabito: Swords of Destiny Vol. 1 is the first in a new fantasy series, and I'll confess that it was totally that bright and happy cover that originally caught my attention. Still, it seemed like it was worth the read!
