Domestic Girlfriend Complete Collection Review

Domestic Girlfriend is a soap opera in anime form. The blend of drama and comedy is conveyed well to the viewer and despite being a potential step-sibling romance, it approaches the subject matter maturely. Even if it's not usually your sort of series, it's well worth giving a shot.

The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 1 Part 2 Review

The Rising of the Shield Hero has proven itself a worthwhile isekai series. The series isn’t perfect and the criticisms levelled against it are fair, but if you can look past its issues, then there is fun to be had here. With a further two seasons yet to come, fans of the show have a lot to look forward to.

Rent-A-Girlfriend Volume 1 Review

Rent-A-Girlfriend offers an entertaining read with a unique set-up. If you’re looking for a new long-running romcom to replace the recently concluded Domestic Girlfriend or just fancy something in the genre, then this is certainly worth a look. There is plenty of potential for ups and downs and I’m looking forward to seeing how things develop for the cast.
