I was thinking the same thing... I don't dislike him but I wish he'd have more variety in his movie roles. I know, I know, "manga adaption" isn't a genre but, I don't know, maybe some more serious non-comic-related dramatic roles would be good to throw in the mix?

How is this even going to work as a live action? Will they be making live action shorts? I just can't imagine a full-length format working for this, the shorts are basically perfect as they are and don't actually work when meshed into the 20-minute version. And Kamiyan is killing it with Kusuo's voice

I Raised a Black Dragon K-Comic Review

Dec 7, 12:00 korean

I Raised a Black Dragon isn't perfect, something that mostly comes down to an ending that simply screams for a sequel. But it's also a nice twist on some of its genre's staler elements and a good read overall. ― Have you ever wondered what happened to the person who used to be the owner of a body taken over by an isekai'd soul? Not many books seem to care, but Sottan's I Raised a Black Dragon isn't o...

Solo Leveling: ReAwakening is a film with a very specific shelf life—one measured in weeks. ― As a film, Solo Leveling: ReAwakening is more than a bit of a mess.
