Hitorijime My Hero Volume 1 Review
A likable cast of characters and a distinctive graphic style make the first volume of Hitorijime My Hero an engaging read – but there are some dramatic and emotional moments as well to tug at the heartstrings.

Junjo Romantica: Season 2 Review
Junjo Romantica Season 2 is a distinct improvement on Season 1 in terms of watchable drama, lightened with welcome touches of humour that help the viewer to overlook the less than stellar animation.

I Hear the Sunspot Volume 1 Review
I Hear the Sunspot is a very different work from A Silent Voice but just as worthy of your time for its characterization and bitter-sweet depiction of a nascent relationship. And the artwork is gorgeous. Recommended.
