We Never Learn Volume 1 Review

We Never Learn breaks into the slice of life comedy scene with a delightful first volume and shows that we can, in fact, learn with the right teacher and methods. With a lovable collection of characters, realistic dreams, and just a little bit of teenage high jinks along the way, the series promises to be an entertaining read for months to come.

The Quintessential Quintuplets Volume 1 Review

Overall, The Quintessential Quintuplets is an okay entry in the romcom genre. It’s perhaps outshone by VIZ Media’s recent debut of We Never Learn but, nevertheless, if you like this genre I think The Quintessential Quintuplets is worth checking out at some point - even if it’s not right now.

Dragon Half Omnibus Volume 1 Review

Dragon Half was an enjoyable read, despite me having no real incentive to continue reading it beyond this release. While this style of comedy isn’t for me, I think those who like classic comedy manga will really enjoy Seven Seas’ release.

Bloom Into You Volume 1-2 Review

Bloom Into You is a thoughtful look at both what love is and how it can differ from person to person. Even if you’re not usually a fan of yuri series, I’d highly recommend checking this one out given how strong the story and its characters are. Regardless of your feelings on love, I’m sure you’ll find something to relate to.
