It's time to dive back into the world of Cells at Work! Cells at Work! Lady Vol. 1 is a different perspective, but it has the same overall concept as the rest of the series. In other words, it's pretty perfect for fans of the series.
Okay, so I probably should have read the description a bit more before diving into After the Rain Vol. 1. Admittedly, I didn't love the plot right off the bat. Still, I did try to give it a fair chance, especially as they made it clear that the romance would always be doomed because of the age difference.
I think we've all read a series (or ten) about commoners secretly becoming royalty, but I still couldn't resist giving Nina the Starry Bride Vol. 1 a try. While this series does lean on many tropes, it has a certain level of charm that makes it feel unique.
I'm SO excited that Lies My Teacher Told Me is getting a graphic novel adaptation! I hope this makes it even more approachable to a larger audience. That said, I sat down and read the original novel in preparation for the graphic novel. Yes, I wanted to read and compare the book that compares history books. It seemed appropriate.
Oh! What an interesting start to a new series! Gachiakuta Vol. 1 kicks off a new series by Kei Urana, who happened to apprentice under Atsushi Okubo. Obviously, I had to give his work a try! Thus far, I'm not disappointed.
Humanity has been discussing first contact with aliens for as long as we've daydreamed about space. In the far-flung future, that time is finally here. The Eo'Tax is an advanced civilization, and they're willing to work with humans to reach an understanding.
Self-Love Club is cute, sweet, and all too real. The comics will likely resonate with many readers, and Hyesu Lee takes elements from real life and turns them into tiny, comical vignettes. Best of all, there are simple lessons we can all learn from her words (and art, obviously).
It's been a minute since I dove into a retro science fiction tale, and Arca seemed like the obvious choice. It blends one of my favorite genres with my love of graphic novels. I mean, what more could a girl ask for?
Pénélope Bagieu's story is autobiographical and deeply compelling. Like many of us, she has hilarious, sweet, and bitter-sweet moments in her past, and now is her time to talk about it. To put her words to page, she first dug out her diaries, pulling them onto these pages for a refreshing take on her teen years and more.
I've come to a conclusion: I will pretty much read anything that my favorite authors write. That officially includes Stephen Graham Jones. I fell in love with his work when The Only Good Indians was released, and that isn't going to change anytime soon.
