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.

The New Gate Volume 1 Review

It’s really difficult to find one compelling reason to check out The New Gate. Nothing it presents is a new idea and none of what it offers is done particularly well, especially for a genre as crowded as this one is.
