I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day Manga Review

Mar 11, 12:00 manga

This story is hard to recommend based on the first volume, but it really gets better after this point. ― I Want to Love You Till You're Dying Day feels like a small story with grand ambitions. It's very humble and almost quiet in its approach to storytelling. Not a lot happens throughout this first volume, but every few pages you'll see an image or a character make a comment alluding to something muc...

Fall in Love, You False Angels Volume 1 Manga Review

Mar 10, 12:00

manga

If there’s a theme to be traced in this volume, it’s the idea of when it’s okay to be two-faced. ― When is it safe to be yourself? That's maybe a more intense question than you'd expect from Fall in Love, You False Angels, which is unquestionably a romantic comedy. But that doesn't mean that it lacks any heavier subtext, and the story of Otogi and Toki can be read in such a way to facilitate discussi...

novels

With a very readable translation and art that’s pretty enough, this is an easy read. ― Light novels certainly don't lack for terrible families. Beleaguered protagonists often suffer at the hands of callous stepmothers, dreadful siblings, and neglectful fathers, no matter what the genre. The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom is no exception. Although it plays wit...
