Dive!! Volume 1 Review

Overall, Dive!!’s first volume proves to be an enjoyable read. It’s somewhat difficult to recommend to fans of the sports genre with its reluctance to talk about diving in any detail, but those readers looking for a slice of life about diving will fare better.

We Never Learn Volume 1 Review

We Never Learn breaks into the slice of life comedy scene with a delightful first volume and shows that we can, in fact, learn with the right teacher and methods. With a lovable collection of characters, realistic dreams, and just a little bit of teenage high jinks along the way, the series promises to be an entertaining read for months to come.

Manga Review

The Quintessential Quintuplets Volume 1 Review

Overall, The Quintessential Quintuplets is an okay entry in the romcom genre. It’s perhaps outshone by VIZ Media’s recent debut of We Never Learn but, nevertheless, if you like this genre I think The Quintessential Quintuplets is worth checking out at some point - even if it’s not right now.

Dragon Half Omnibus Volume 1 Review

Dragon Half was an enjoyable read, despite me having no real incentive to continue reading it beyond this release. While this style of comedy isn’t for me, I think those who like classic comedy manga will really enjoy Seven Seas’ release.

The Ancient Magus’ Bride: The Golden Yarn Review

The Ancient Magus’ Bride: The Golden Yarn is a must read for fans of the franchise. While I recommend taking breaks between stories so not to be bogged down in how dark these tales are, each one is a welcome addition to this universe

An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride Volume 3 Review

Overall this volume of An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride continues to offer everything I’ve come to like about the series. Unfortunately it also calls out the issues I have with the story and then proceeds to do nothing about them, which just leaves a bad aftertaste.
