Blade Girl Volumes 1-2 Manga Review

Sep 19, 12:00 manga
Blade Girl boldly sprints off of e-readers and onto the page, but can this print-on-demand release keep up? ― Back in April, I reviewed the first volume of Moare Ohta's Teppu—one of three initial offerings from the newly established Kodansha Print Club program. While I was thrilled to hold a copy of Ohta's underground classic in my hands, the quality of that print-on-demand release left me wanting. A...

It's above-average dialogue in a below-average, uh, everything else. ― Varlet is a game that is more than the sum of its parts, but it still feels undercooked and overpriced. The core pitch is going to seem familiar if you've played any RPGs of the last few years. It's a school-based RPG with a split between the battle/events and structured downtime. The battles are turn-based, largely traditional co...
