SPY×FAMILY Volumes 11-12 Manga Review
While most of Anya's schemes go hilariously sideways, now is her time to shine.
― It's hard to go wrong with an Anya-centric storyline.

She's the ultimate wild card, a little kid who...

The Condemned Villainess Goes Back in Time Novels 1-2 Review
The Condemned Villainess Goes Back in Time is one of the better villainess light novel series to make it over.

Shadow of the Ninja Reborn Game Review
Is Shadow of the Ninja Reborn a sharp remake of a semi-classic NES game? Or is it something much more?
― The original Shadow of the Ninja had its moment, but it wasn't very long. Critics and players rightly saw it as a well-crafted and harshly challenging side-scroller back in 1990, yet it arrived in the busiest time for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was rapidly swept aside without gaining se...

Shadow of the Ninja Reborn Game Review
Is Shadow of the Ninja Reborn a sharp remake of a semi-classic NES game? Or is it something much more?
