A great and sadly underrated story. I barely ever hear anyone even discuss this manga but it was an all time favorite and the characters were endearing and incredible. Utsuho is skilled and funny and the story has great twists and schemes and action. I really wish more people knew about this series and also that it would get an anime adaptation (but at this point that seems impossible) if you have stumbled across this series or my review somehow please read this series it’s absolutely worth it. The final quest and battle were incredibly harrowing and kept me on the edge of my seat

A movie I was waiting for with feverish anticipation. I read the manga before it got an official us release. I preordered the physical manga the day it was possible to do so. I bought my ticket to see it in theaters the second they were available. This movie moved me to my core. Despite already having read the manga and crying then I still cried multiple times watching this film. The scenes were not only brought to life they were elevated. The music, the colors, all were woven together to make this film the masterpiece of emotion, friendship, creativity, love, and passion it is.

A lot of people are probably gonna shit on this season and I understand why since it is and is gonna be much slower and less action heavy, but really this season is necessary for the last season to reach the heights it should. This season takes care of everything we need for the last season to be epic. It trains up all the characters so they can handle what will come. It gives us a better understanding of and emotional connection to many different characters so we will care while they fight and struggle. And it gives us time to relax and prepare ourselves

This story is one I have somewhat high hopes for. It’s off to a pretty good start the stuff with the sister and how he gets powers is somewhat predictable/cliche but it’s executed well and the story has a lot of room to build on from this starting point. The art is really detailed and beautiful while also being horrific. I especially like the inclusion of color pages here and there to really add some flavor a lot of manga series don’t have. It’s an amazing visual experience so far. Im optimistic and think this has massive potential to grow as a story (no pun

Majo to Yajuu
(Manga)
add
So far I’ve only read the first volume and the series looks like it as potential so I’m going to keep reading and see if the score improves but so far it’s somewhat underwhelming. It’s not boring in any sense (at least not to me) and the art and premise are fantastic but so far I feel like it hasn’t quite lived up to that potential. One main issue is it seems to be leaning heavy into secrets and mystery but almost in the wrong sense. So far both mages and witches have been confirmed to exist at least and yet so far nothing about

Shousetsu Mahoutsukai no Yome
(Manga)
add
An anthology of short stories that open up the world of The Ancient Magus Bride in fascinating and varied ways. The stories are set in different areas with different character no two quite alike and yet all feeling like they belong together in the world they’ve been written in. Some stories focus on characters we know but haven’t seen much of from the main series and some revolve around entirely new characters and their journeys in the world of magic. Each story has a different tone and different themes but stay true to the feeling of magic Kore Yamazaki created for her world. From he

The second of the Ancient Magus Bride spinoffs takes us to Paris and explores the world of alchemy and art. The settings feel uniquely this stories own while simultaneously fitting snugly into the world of The Ancient Magus Bride. The gifts of Ao are fascinating to observe and I highly look forward to seeing how his palette grows and evolves. The world of alchemy and magic in Paris is fascinating to learn more about and I’m eager to see more. Gisele Is also a fascinating character. Despite her beastly appearance she seems incredibly more human and emotionally sound then Elias and yet manages to hold

Id:Invaded: #Brake-Broken
(Manga)
add
A good sequel work to an under-appreciated anime series. This manga steps us back into the world of ID: Invaded and gives us more of what we loved from the series. Interesting cases, new killers with new mo’s and ways of operating, unusual psychological profiles, and the id wells those minds create. Our brilliant detectives are back as well and just as brilliant and unhinged as ever. Now so far the series has only had time to work on 1 case and 2 wells but both wells are very interesting and the case has me wondering where it’s gonna go. I eagerly await more

In actuality I’d most likely give this manga a 7.58. But I can’t do that with this system so 7 is what I go with. The manga is unbelievably cute, like so damn cute and that cuteness is definitely the selling point so if that doesn’t appeal to you you probably won’t enjoy this manga that much. I mean there are other factors like the obvious mystery of the situation he’s been summoned into and if he will ever be able to understand what people are saying But those are smaller things at least as of now. The main sell is still undoubtedly how freaking
