Gleipnir Volume 1 Review

This monstrous manga may look cute on the outside, but inside the NSFW contents, including violence and references to rape, will deter some readers.

We Never Learn Volume 2 Review

We Never Learn continues to be an entertaining romantic comedy. While this second volume is more episodic in nature compared to the previous one, this works in the series’ favour and offers a nice chance to spend time with all of the cast one-on-one.

The Witch’s House: The Diary of Ellen Volume 1 Review

This prequel to the horror indie game is a gruesomely delightful book with a simple but effective story, dark imagery and strong lead character.
