Seven Days: Monday-Sunday was a popular BL two-part series a decade ago - and introduced us to Rihito Takarai, a promising new mangaka. Now SuBLime have brought us a timely new 2-in-1 edition - but has the story stood the test of time?

The Golden Sheep Volume 2 Review
The Golden Sheep continues to offer a thoughtful read. While I have some reservations as to whether it can finish the story in one more volume, I’m looking forward to finding out what happens. If you enjoyed the first instalment, then you’ll certainly enjoy Volume 2.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Part 2 Review

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Part 2 Review
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 cements the entire series as a fantastic action show full of tense and exciting mobile suit battles, and while some areas are an improvement over its first season, such as dialogue and character development, it feels weaker in others, particularly in its plot and pacing.

The fourth volume of Snow White with the Red Hair does a good job of both moving the story along and fleshing out its main cast. Fans of Mitsuhide will appreciate the flashback chapter, while other readers will be happy to see Shirayuki and Zen growing closer.

A Sister’s All You Need Volume 5 Review
Although this instalment of A Sister’s All You Need barely comes in at 140 pages, a lot happens. While I wouldn’t mind a return to the usual crazy hijinks the light novels are known for in Volume 6, for now I’m happy to have had the spotlight on the series' most undeveloped character.

Soul Eater – The Complete Series Review
Soul Eater is a shonen classic: an exciting action show with a sheer sense of style that covers its entire look and feel, from world to soundtrack to characters. Despite its plot having an anime original ending, it's still thrilling to watch and manages to ties things up in a satisfying way.
