Orient Volume 3 Review
The third volume of Shinobu Ohtaka’s Orient is very much a tale of two halves, as it brings the current arc of the story focusing on Tsugumi and the Kosameda band of samurai to a solid conclusion but struggles to get going into the next one.

Orient Volume 2 Review
As our heroes Musashi and Kojiro prepare to step out on their quest to rid The Land of the Setting Sun of the demons that have ruled the country for the last 150 years, this volume finds itself being burdened by all the exposition required to move the story forward. However, it still offers plenty of interesting character development as it introduces a stylish new addition to the cast.

Cagaster Volume 1 Review
Already adapted into an anime by Netflix and Gonzo, Kachou Hashimoto’s source manga that tells the tale of humanity warring it out with giant mutant bugs has a bit of a rough start, devoting more time to character building than getting moving with the central plot - but it at least seems to have enough potential to improve in later volumes.

This first volume in Shinobu Ohtaka’s latest series offers a solid start, with some fantastic design work with its demonic enemies, and some great worldbuilding in this alternate twist on Japan’s feudal, warring states era.
