My Androgynous Boyfriend Volume 1 Review

My Androgynous Boyfriend offers a sweet and compelling read for those looking for a new romance series. The series handles the topic of being androgynous well, while also proving refreshing for its focus on a couple in a long-term relationship.

Snow White with the Red Hair Volume 5 Review

Snow White with the Red Hair Volume 5 delivers an intriguing read. While the majority of the volume is building up to a much bigger arc, it’s still enjoyable and remains one of the most interesting shojo series being released right now.

Tales of Berseria Volume 2 Review

Overall, this volume of Tales of Berseria is a disappointment. Rushing through the video game’s material leaves it confusing and with an underdeveloped cast of characters.

Konosuba: An Explosion on this Wonderful World! Volume 3 Review

While I remain unconvinced that the series needed to run for more than the previous two volumes I am enjoying what it offers. Megumin fans will continue to have a blast following her adventures in Konosuba: An Explosion on this Wonderful World! Volume 3.

My Father Is a Unicorn Review

My Father is a Unicorn is an enjoyable comedy about the difficulties of being a step-father (as well as being a unicorn). While some readers may be disappointed by the lack of continuation, many will still enjoy this heartwarming tale about family.

Drifting Dragons Volume 1 offers a fascinating read, which captures the majestic nature of both dragons and those brave enough to chase after them. With the anime due for release later in the year, there is no better time to jump aboard this series!

Saint Young Men Volume 1 Review

Saint Young Men delivers on its premise thanks to its endearing portrayal of two key religious figures trying to live their everyday lives in modern Japan. Numerous references to Christianity and Buddhism also add to the enjoyment.

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.
