Pokémon Adventures Collector’s Edition Volume 1 Review

Pokémon Adventures Collector’s Edition Volume 1 is a worthwhile starting point for newcomers to the series. However, if you already own the series in any other form, then there isn’t much point picking it up. That said, even ten years after its initial English release, Pokémon Adventures is still a fantastic manga that fans of this popular franchise will fall in love with.

Cosmo Familia Volume 1 Review

Overall, Cosmo Familia Volume 1 is an entertaining but unpolished introduction to a new magical girl series. The manga spends too much time jumping from one idea to the next without any real rhyme or reason and that will put most readers off.

The New Gate Volume 1 Review

It’s really difficult to find one compelling reason to check out The New Gate. Nothing it presents is a new idea and none of what it offers is done particularly well, especially for a genre as crowded as this one is.
