Dinghai Fusheng Records is a good break-in point for the danmei-curious.
― Danmei can sometimes feel overwhelming if you've never read it before. Mostly that comes down to the fact that the novels tend to be at least one hundred pages longer than your typical light novel, if not more, and the novels have been the greater part of what's been officially released in English, both digitally and physicall...
Imitation Volumes 1-4 K-Comic Review
The mentions of dieting in this K-pop comic are all so casually done up until this point that I at first thought that I was overreacting by zeroing in on them.
― The idol industry is no joke. It would be easy to forget how vicious it can be, given that a lot of manga, manhwa, and anime try to give us a romanticized portrait, and at first, it looks like Imitation may be doing the same thing. It follow...

Murai in Love Anime Series Review
Murai in Love is a very strange show. Its premise is strange, its characters are strange, and its animation is strange. So strange that it practically begs to be watched.
― Murai in Love is a very strange show. Its premise is strange, its characters are strange, and its animation is strange. So strange that it practically begs to be watched. I admit that I was mildly non-plussed by Murai in Love at f...

Bungo Stray Dogs Another Story: Yukito Ayatsuji vs. Natsuhiko Kyogoku Novel Review
Bungo Stray Dogs: Another Story is one of the strongest novels in the franchise to date, and in many ways an homage to classic mystery fiction.
― Most of the characters in the main Bungo Stray Dogs are dead. Or at least, the authors they're (loosely) based on are, and I have to think that that makes it easier for series author Kafka Asagiri to create their characters. But that's not the case for Bung...
