Hitorijime My Hero Volume 1 Review

A likable cast of characters and a distinctive graphic style make the first volume of Hitorijime My Hero an engaging read – but there are some dramatic and emotional moments as well to tug at the heartstrings.

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.

Mob Psycho 100 Season 1 Review

From the creator of One Punch Man comes a series that swaps superheroes for psychics and the supernatural. Mob Psycho 100 boasts the same excellent tone and humour with some uniquely innovative animation.

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.

The Ancient Magus’ Bride: The Golden Yarn Review

The Ancient Magus’ Bride: The Golden Yarn is a must read for fans of the franchise. While I recommend taking breaks between stories so not to be bogged down in how dark these tales are, each one is a welcome addition to this universe

An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride Volume 3 Review

Overall this volume of An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride continues to offer everything I’ve come to like about the series. Unfortunately it also calls out the issues I have with the story and then proceeds to do nothing about them, which just leaves a bad aftertaste.

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.

Granblue Fantasy Part 2 Review

Overall, Granblue Fantasy remains a captivating watch right to the end. Although the animation issues prevent me from recommending it to everyone, I still believe there is a lot to like for those who can look past these issues.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Review

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is a rip-roaring good time, with generous helpings of stylish and brutal action.

Assassination Classroom the Movie: 365 Days’ Time

One for the completists; there's very little in the way of new content in this compilation movie.

When They Cry: Rei Collection Review

When They Cry Rei is only recommended as a separate purchase if you really took a keen interest in the characters, enough to see more scenes of them being silly and content together.

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?

Katanagatari Volume 1 Review

Although Katanagatari doesn’t quite hit the heights of NISIOISIN’s Monogatari franchise, I’m sure fans of his work will still find a lot to like here as this first volume proves an enjoyable read. In fact this series is almost worth checking out just for the incredible effort that has gone into the translation.

Dragon Ball Z Kai – The Final Chapters: Part 3 Review

It’s the final part of the final arc of the refreshed and cutdown version of Dragon Ball Z, but how much is actually cut from these final episodes, and is it worth your time?
