Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid – The Complete Series Review

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is a slice-of-life comedy that is both very funny and very relaxing to watch. These types of shows don’t come up very often these days, so if you’ve been craving something like it, then it’ll definitely scratch that itch.

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Volume 4 Review

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest continues to be a wonderful addition to the franchise. While this volume shows signs of the plot becoming unwieldy, it does also make great use of Fairy Tail members who aren’t in Natsu’s party. Fans of the series will certainly be happy with the developments this time around.

Chobits 20th Anniversary Edition 1 Review

This new release of Chobits is not only a beautifully put-together book, with a new, more faithful translation, but is also a wonderful celebration of one of CLAMP's most interesting and provocative, if flawed, works.
