The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese Review

Fed up with facile romance manga, BL or otherwise, that offer a sugar-coated version of real life? Why not try Eisner-nominated Setona Mizushiro's The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese (M rated) - complex, believable characters, mingling touches of dry humour and all the feels.

Promare Theatrical Review

Promare is a film not to be missed. There is nothing quite like it out there, certainly nothing which is so much fun for the entire runtime. Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima have once again created something truly unforgettable which will be a joy to watch for many years to come.

While Mobile Suit Gundam 00's deep political intrigue, wooden dialogue and reflection of real world problems may make this harder to get into at first, it does offer some great mobile suit action.

Goblin Slayer Season 1 Review

Overall, Goblin Slayer offers a dark fantasy series with plenty of blood and guts flying around. If that’s your cup of tea then you’ll certainly enjoy this one, but failing that, there isn’t a great deal of substance here.

Overall the third volume of My Hero Academia: School Briefs is a must-have for fans of the franchise. With such a large variety of stories, there is something for everyone this time around. The bonus chapter based on the fantasy ending is worth buying the book for all on its own!
