Roll Over And Die (Manga) Vol 1 Review

I originally became aware of Roll Over And Die: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword through reviews of the light novel, by Kiki. A dark fantasy/yuri series sounded interesting to me, but it was also described as being extremely violent and I was worried that it might be...

Spiritfarer Review

I was introduced to Spiritfarer by my brother, who purchased the game for me because he wanted to have someone to talk to about it. Playing this game was a very unique experience; it’s at times very cute and funny and at other times extremely poignant and emotional. In Spiritfarer you play as Stella, a...

The King’s Beast Vol 1 Review

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....

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom (manga) Omnibus Vol 1 Review

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 premise of a hero who uses their wits and knowledge of the...

The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess Vol 1 Review

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...

The Demon Girl Next Door Vol 1 Review

Izumo Ito's 4-panel manga, The Demon Girl Next Door, is a whimsical comedy about a clumsy and cute demon and her nemesis: a retired magical-girl who seems more interested in being friends then fighting. It's quite delightful! Synopsis: Yuko wakes up one morning and is shocked to discover that she's suddenly grown horns and a...

A Witch’s Love at the End of the World Vol 1 Review

A Witch’s Love at the End of the World is an exciting and magical yuri-romance manga, by Kujira. It follows a pair of young ladies who have a little more on their plates then your standard school-girl crushes or teenage angst. These girls are witches and there are dark forces at play in their world...

Heterogenia Linguistico Vol 1 Review

I’ve always been kind of a dummy when it comes to learning other languages. I was terrible at the mandatory French classes I took in grade school and my short-lived attempt to learn Japanese in University was a disaster. It's just not something that comes easily to me, so I greatly admire people who can...

The White Cat’s Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King’s Lap Vol 1 Review

Here we have yet another one of those long-winded, but attention-grabbing, light novel titles! The White Cat’s Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King’s Lap was originally a light novel by Kureha and with character designs by Yamiyo. This manga adaptation, by Aki, is a delightful shojo, isekai series about a young lady who’s always...
