The Reprise of the Spear Hero Volumes 1-2 Review

The Reprise of the Spear Hero’s manga adaption proves a worthwhile read for fans of the franchise. Being less spoiler-ridden than its light novel counterpart this proves an easier sell to those who might not be up-to-date on The Rise of the Shield Hero and simply want to see more of Motoyasu.

Snow White with the Red Hair Volume 7 Review

Volume 7 of Snow White with the Red Hair offers our cast a chance to let their hair down and relax. Coupled with some character development for Shirayuki, it’s a solid entry, but does begin to retread old ground.

Owarimonogatari Part 2 Review

Owarimonogatari Part 2 offers an interesting story set in the middle of the series timeline. If you’re not a Kanbaru fan then you may find yourself lacking in enthusiasm for the first half of the book, but the final payoff makes it worth reading to the end.

Pokémon Adventures Collector’s Edition Volume 1 Review

Pokémon Adventures Collector’s Edition Volume 1 is a worthwhile starting point for newcomers to the series. However, if you already own the series in any other form, then there isn’t much point picking it up. That said, even ten years after its initial English release, Pokémon Adventures is still a fantastic manga that fans of this popular franchise will fall in love with.

86: Eighty-Six Volume 4 Review

86 Volume 4 proves a return to form for the series. With the reintroduction of Lena and a new team with her at the helm, this opens the door for a lot of exciting stories to come. While a large portion of this volume is set-up, the mission the Eighty-Sixth Strike Package embark on is still as gripping as ever.

Cosmo Familia Volume 1 Review

Overall, Cosmo Familia Volume 1 is an entertaining but unpolished introduction to a new magical girl series. The manga spends too much time jumping from one idea to the next without any real rhyme or reason and that will put most readers off.
