Living-Room Matsunaga-San Volume 1 Review
Settling into her uncle's boarding house is full of challenges for seventeen-year-old Miko, not the least of which is learning to get along with all the other boarders. Is Living-Room Matsunaga-San just another slice-of-life shojo or does it have something new and fresh to offer?

The Misfit of Demon King Academy Volume 1 Review
The first volume of The Misfit of Demon King Academy is very much an introduction setting up the characters and the world around them. There’s nothing particularly special or gripping about it so far, but the class divide between the demons gives it something to differentiate it from other similar works and could make an interesting central plot line in the long run.

Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san Volume 4 Review

Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san Volume 4 Review
Volume 4 of Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san feels like more of a fan book than it does a conclusion to the overall series. Some readers will be disappointed by there being fewer chapters for their money, but if you’re heavily invested in the series then there is still a lot of fun to be found here.

The Reprise of the Spear Hero Volumes 1-2 Review
The Reprise of the Spear Hero’s manga adaption proves a worthwhile read for fans of the franchise. Being less spoiler-ridden than its light novel counterpart this proves an easier sell to those who might not be up-to-date on The Rise of the Shield Hero and simply want to see more of Motoyasu.

Magus of the Library Volume 3 Review
Magus of the Library Volume 3 continues to offer a delightful and interesting read. This instalment brings an end to the first part of Theo’s story, which has been a wonderful tale from beginning to end. This is still a manga everyone should be reading.

Pokémon Adventures Collector’s Edition Volume 1 Review
Pokémon Adventures Collector’s Edition Volume 1 is a worthwhile starting point for newcomers to the series. However, if you already own the series in any other form, then there isn’t much point picking it up. That said, even ten years after its initial English release, Pokémon Adventures is still a fantastic manga that fans of this popular franchise will fall in love with.

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.
