My Classmate Ren-kun is Kinda Scary Manga Review

Nov 24, 12:00 manga

My Classmate Ren-kun is Kinda Scary is, in a word, frothy. ― The narrator of this story isn't the romantic lead. That's probably the most interesting aspect of the book – it's narrated by a mostly nameless girl (we learn her name in the author's afterword, but never in the story proper) as she observes the boys on either side of her in class. It works fairly well as a framing device, particularly sin...

Who Made Me a Princess Volumes 4 - 6 K-Comics Review

korean

Who Made Me a Princess was good in its first three books, but it's very good in its second. The final three volumes should be excellent if things continue on this trajectory. ― It's practically narrative law that if the villainess character turns out to be good, the heroine must be bad. We've seen that play out over a plethora of series, and while there are exceptions, it happens often enough to feel...

Our Aimless Nights Manga Review

Nov 22, 12:00 manga

By no means is this a deep, page-turning tale of love and lust, and it's not really meant to be. ― The risk in naming your manga Our Aimless Nights is that the adjective is already giving too much away. This two-volume manga has its narrative meandering around in certain areas, although this serves as a good thing. Teenage romances with all of their awkward tendencies are never exactly straightforwar...

Fans of both author and genre should be pleased, and even those who are neither will probably find something to keep them reading. ― Reki Kawahara is a one-trick pony. That sounds harsher than it ought because there are plenty of authors in all media forms who have one particular narrative that pops up frequently in their work; it's just more noticeable with Kawahara because of the fame surrounding h...
