Comic & Manga Reviews
Can we just stop and take a moment to appreciate the cover of Everything Is OK? Being a graphic novel, it's no surprise that Everything Is OK appreciates visual elements – but that cover is striking. It's the perfect balance of tones and pulls the reader in. At least, it pulled this reader in.
The Night Eaters Vol. 1: She Eats the Night comes straight from the creative team behind Monstress. (If you've never read Monstress, allow me to be the first to tell you that you are missing out). Marjorie M. Liu is the author, while Sana Takeda is the artist. They are an absolutely brilliant duo, and I would read anything they put out (seriously – I preordered The Night Eaters Vol. 1 before reading the description).
I've been a fan of Emily McGovern for quite some time now. I first found her work through My Life As A Background Slytherin, but I really fell in love with Bloodlust & Bonnets (seriously, if you haven't read this, go do it now!). So, naturally, I was pretty invested in getting my hands on Twelve Percent Dread, her latest graphic novel.
Let's all cheer for the latest volume of She-Hulk! But seriously, it's been a hot minute since Jen Walters got her own series, so I was thrilled to hear the news. The fact that they got one of my favorite cover artists (Jen Bartel) involved is just icing on the cake.
Hazel and her family are still very much on the run. Sometimes, it feels like everyone wants to kill them – especially little Hazel. She's the embodiment of something neither faction can afford to have lingering around.
The fans of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse should make a point of picking up Demon in the Wood. We've all been waiting for this story – we just didn't realize it. Every villain has an origin story. Sometimes those stories are wrapped up in the main plot. Other times they are tucked away, buried under centuries of trauma and history.
Series: Sakura's Dedication #1Author/Artist: Fuyu YukimiyaPublisher: Kodansha ComicsReleased: February 22, 2022Received: NetGalley It's that time again! Manga Monday. Next up on my list is Sakura's Dedication Vol. 1. This one looked super cute, and sometimes that is good enough for me. Not all relationships last. Unfortunately, that is a lesson that Sawa just learned the hard... Continue Reading →
Who doesn't love a sweet romantic manga with a slow-burning plot? That's what readers will get if they pick up Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You Vol. 1, written and illustrated by Haruka Mitsui. Oh, I should mention that this read will be perfect for fans of the friends-to-lovers trope.
I've been in the mood to try more manga in the new year, and naturally, I want to read a little bit of everything. The ultimate goal is to add to my list of favorite series that I'll continue to follow. However, I'm Looking for Serious Love! will not be making that list.
Voices That Count is a graphic novel anthology full of stories that take a closer look at our world as it stands. More accurately, it portrays tales of different women all over the world. It was initially written in Spanish but was recently (ish) translated, letting a more comprehensive range of readers give it a try. I was really excited when I heard that, as Voices That Count had been on my radar for a while now.
