Perfect World Volume 2 Review

Perfect World Volume 2 is filled with new plot threads, but manages to flesh them out well. Just like the first instalment, this one is a difficult read due to the depressing nature of the content, but it’s engrossing all the same. If you enjoyed Volume 1, then you’re likely to enjoy this one too.

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Volume 4 Review

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest continues to be a wonderful addition to the franchise.

Fans of the series will certainly be happy with the developments this time around.

The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest Volume 1 Review

The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest proves a highly entertaining read with some impressive artwork. While there are unanswered questions as to why our protagonist wanted to be reincarnated in the first place, it’s hard to deny that the fun the manga offers outweighs this minor detail.
