Devils’ Line Complete Collection Review

Overall, Devils' Line is an enjoyable series if you’re interested in gory supernatural shows. It’s just a shame that its potential is let down by a frustratingly bland love interest who is in constant need of rescue. Fans of the manga will enjoy the adaption but newcomers are likely to bounce off.

My Father Is a Unicorn Review

My Father is a Unicorn is an enjoyable comedy about the difficulties of being a step-father (as well as being a unicorn). While some readers may be disappointed by the lack of continuation, many will still enjoy this heartwarming tale about family.

The World’s Strongest Rearguard: Labyrinth Country’s Novice Seeker Volume 1 Review

The World’s Strongest Rearguard Volume 1 offers a fun and pleasant read. It doesn’t have any notable issues to speak of and offers everything you look for in this genre. The only downside for some readers will be how long the volume is, but I think it’s worth the investment.

Saint Young Men delivers on its premise thanks to its endearing portrayal of two key religious figures trying to live their everyday lives in modern Japan. Numerous references to Christianity and Buddhism also add to the enjoyment.
