Rei Toma is a mangaka whose works I’ve all loved and I've been really looking forward to her newest series, The King’s Beast, which is set in the same world as Dawn of the Arcana - though on a different continent, so you don’t need to have read that series to jump into this one....

Well, this has got to be the most adorable Boys Love manga I’ve read in a good long while! Shou Harusono’s Sasaki and Miyano was originally self-published on Pixiv before being picked up for physical publication. It’s largely told in the format of 4-panel gag strips and chronicles the blossoming love story between an awkward... Continue Reading →
Based on an isekai light-novel series by Dojyomaru, this manga adaptation of How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom by Satoshi Ueda, initially drew me in with its striking cover, which pays homage to Jacques-Louis David’s famous painting: Napoleon Crossing the Alps.

The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess is a shojo isekai manga by Akiharu Touka and it's one of the series that I've been most looking forward to checking out in 2021. I'm quite partial to shojo isekai (a genre where young ladies are either transported to or reborn into magical worlds) and I find... Continue Reading →
Long time manga readers might remember an older shojo series by the name of: Baby & Me, which was about a young boy trying to be a good big brother to his younger sibling after their mother passes away. It was a sweet story, but very emotional and it frequently reduced me to a blubbering... Continue Reading →
