The Golden Sheep Volume 2 Review
The Golden Sheep continues to offer a thoughtful read. While I have some reservations as to whether it can finish the story in one more volume, I’m looking forward to finding out what happens. If you enjoyed the first instalment, then you’ll certainly enjoy Volume 2.

O Maidens in your Savage Season Volume 5
O Maidens in your Savage Season continues to offer a compelling read. This volume begins to bring an end to some of the cast's stories, which is by no means a bad thing. Will these girls ever find true happiness? We’ll have to keep reading to find out, but this entry suggests a strong possibility at least.

Snow White with the Red Hair Volume 4 Review
The fourth volume of Snow White with the Red Hair does a good job of both moving the story along and fleshing out its main cast. Fans of Mitsuhide will appreciate the flashback chapter, while other readers will be happy to see Shirayuki and Zen growing closer.

A Sister’s All You Need Volume 5 Review
Although this instalment of A Sister’s All You Need barely comes in at 140 pages, a lot happens. While I wouldn’t mind a return to the usual crazy hijinks the light novels are known for in Volume 6, for now I’m happy to have had the spotlight on the series' most undeveloped character.

An Introduction to Irodori Comics Aqua
Irodori Comic Aqua is a new imprint from Irodori Comics that hopes to bring doujinshi to the West and make them more readily available to (and understood by) manga fans here - but are their first four titles worth investing in?

The Garden of Sinners Movie Collection Review

The Garden of Sinners Movie Collection Review
Overall, The Garden of Sinners is a mixed bag. The films are interesting but the quality varies a lot and they’re not for everyone. If you’re a particular fan of Ufotable then they’re well worth watching for the animation, but that won’t overcome their shortcomings for everyone.

Promare Theatrical Review
Promare is a film not to be missed. There is nothing quite like it out there, certainly nothing which is so much fun for the entire runtime. Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima have once again created something truly unforgettable which will be a joy to watch for many years to come.
