Beastars Volume 1 Review

Overall, the first volume of Beastars is not going to be enough for you to decide if you like the series or not. There are certainly some interesting concepts in play and it’s a unique story, but I’m not convinced that’s quite enough for every reader.

Fate/Grand Order -mortalis: stella- Volume 1

Fate/Grand Order -mortalis: stella- is what you'd expect from a soulless manga adaptation of a video game; you’re better off re-watching the anime film First Order again rather than giving this a read.

Silver Spoon Volume 10 Manga Review

Volume 10 is a lot of fun, as is expected for Silver Spoon, and maintains the quality in story and characters established by mangaka Hiromu Arakawa so far. We get some character development for Hachiken and Komaba, get to witness the production and sale of sausages and meet a colourful new character in Shingo's Russian wife Alexandra.
