Penguin Highway Review

The West has long awaited the arrival of Tomihiko Morimi’s books and that wait has been well worth it. Penguin Highway offers a summertime adventure the likes of which we’ve not seen for quite some time - It’s fun, comical and well written.

Dive!! Volume 1 Review

Overall, Dive!!’s first volume proves to be an enjoyable read. It’s somewhat difficult to recommend to fans of the sports genre with its reluctance to talk about diving in any detail, but those readers looking for a slice of life about diving will fare better.
