Yuri is My Job! Volume 1 Review

If you’re a yuri fan, or perhaps interested in getting into it but not sure where to start, Yuri is My Job! is a fun and strong start of a new series that is worth picking up.

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.

Puella Magi Tart Magica: The Legend of Jeanne d’Arc Volume 1-5 Review

One of the best Madoka Magica spin-off manga, this takes the story of Joan of Arc and gives it a fantastical twist, producing an entertaining story that will satisfy both Madoka fans and history buffs.

Ghost in the Shell – Global Neural Network Review

Ghost in the Shell - Global Neural Network is a collection of four short stories based on Shiro Masamune’s all time classic, written and drawn by Western authors and artists. An interesting idea, but does it work, or is it the live action movie all over again?

Dementia 21 Review

Dementia 21 is a surreal mixture of horror and satire. While the quality may vary between its collection of stories, fans of dark humour and mind-bending art should definitely check it out.

Bloom Into You Volume 1-2 Review

Bloom Into You is a thoughtful look at both what love is and how it can differ from person to person. Even if you’re not usually a fan of yuri series, I’d highly recommend checking this one out given how strong the story and its characters are. Regardless of your feelings on love, I’m sure you’ll find something to relate to.

Bleach – Volume 74 Review

Our shores have finally made it to the end of Bleach, but is the 74th volume of this long-running series a fitting send-off? Does it tie up the current arc well and deliver a satisfying final goodbye? The answer to some of these questions may disappoint…

Boarding School Juliet Volume 1 Review

Boarding School Juliet has the flimsiest of connections to its Shakespearean origins. This rom-com manga might well appeal to fans of Ouran High School Host Club and makes for a fun but flimsy read.

Fairy Tale Battle Royale Volume 1 Review

If you’re not interested in a horrifying take on classic fairy tales then there is little of interest to set this series apart from the crowded genre. However, fairy tale fans looking for something different are sure to have a great time with this dark take on some of their favourite stories!

APOSIMZ Volume 1 Review

How you get on with APOSIMZ will depend on how willing you are to committing to reading more than a single volume. This first volume offers little in the way of substantial world building or characters, so all the series really has going for it is Tsutomu Nihei's name.

Ao Haru Ride Volume 1 Review

Ao Haru Ride Volume 1 offers a different take on the usual shojo tropes and proves an interesting read. Your enjoyment is really going to depend on what you're looking for from the genre.

Hinamatsuri Volume 1 Review

A great first volume that establishes a fun, unique comedy premise, with unusual but wacky characters. The slice-of-life format makes it very easy to drop into and follow the story.
