Naruto Shippuden – Box Set 38 Review
In a moment that feels somewhat bittersweet, given I’ve already reviewed the first Boruto set, the final Naruto Shippuden release is here, but with the main story already finished in the previous release, what is there left to do in these final episodes?

Fate/Apocrypha – Part 1 Review
The first half of Fate/Apocrypha sets itself up as an exciting and tense action series, while also focusing on its deep and satisfying character relationships. With no ties to previous entries in the Fate universe, this also makes it a great place to start for newcomers.

Magus of the Library Volume 2 Review
Magus of the Library continues to impress with its likeable characters, fascinating story and beautiful artwork. Now that my concerns from the end of Volume 1 have been alleviated, I’m looking forward to seeing where Theo’s journey takes him and if he truly can become a Kafna.

Overlord III Review

Overlord III Review
Overlord III is stronger than the previous season in its approach to exploring its world and showcasing the advancements in Ainz's kingdom-building. Where its flaws lie are in some wonky CGI and a lack of tension in places due to Ainz's level of control.

Dragon Ball Super – Part 7 Review
Dragon Ball Super – Part 7 gets off to an exciting and high-impact start, before settling into a long stretch of what can only be described as filler, despite the series not being based on a manga… Is it still worth a watch though?

Koyomimonogatari Part 2 Review

Koyomimonogatari Part 2 Review
Overall, Koyomimonogatari has proven to be an entertaining read. While it’s not the best in the series, the final couple of stories included in Part 2 make up for having to read through two volumes of otherwise unsubstantial tales.

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.

Last Round Arthurs Volume 1 Review
Overall, Last Round Arthurs delivers a satisfying fantasy adventure. The legend of King Arthur and Merlin may be quite different with Luna and Rintaro at the helm, but one thing's for sure - it’ll be a crazy ride. Those of you looking for a new sword and sorcery adventure will love what this light novel has to offer.

The Night is Short, Walk on Girl Review
The Night is Short, Walk on Girl’s novel is a real treat for both newcomers and returning fans to the story. The book is different enough from its adaptation to be a worthwhile read, even for those who are already familiar with the plot, and it offers more depth to the female protagonist.

Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu Review
Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu brings this prequel story to a close wonderfully. With dramatic action, heartfelt discussions, and good old Monogatari humour, there is plenty to enjoy here. Both newcomers and longtime fans will want to own this trilogy in their collections!
