Dec 1, 12:00

1 comment

manga

This volume is, as happens with introductory books, mostly set up for Masahiro’s eventual understanding of himself. ― Due to the vagaries of English localization, you may not immediately associate this with its parent series: The Teen Exorcist is a manga reworking of the light novel series Shonen Onmyoji, which clocks in at an impressive fifty-six volumes. The light novels have never been officially ...

Dinghai Fusheng Records Volume 1 Manhua Review

Nov 30, 12:00 comics

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...

korean

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...
