Manga and Comics Reviews
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so it seemed like the perfect time to do a review of a new, romance manga! As an added bonus, Mami Orikasa’s shojo series, Mint Chocolate, has a sweet title that’s just perfect for this season. Synopsis: Nanami is nervous about meeting her new step-dad and step-brother after her mom remarries,... Continue Reading →
The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess is a shojo isekai manga by Akiharu Touka and it's one of the series that I've been most looking forward to checking out in 2021. I'm quite partial to shojo isekai (a genre where young ladies are either transported to or reborn into magical worlds) and I find... Continue Reading →
Kageki Shojo!! The Curtain Rises is one of the manga that I’ve been the most excited about reading this year and I am so pleased to report that the series more then met my expectations. Kumiko Saiki’s art is lovely and I found the story to be fun, emotional and heart-warming, all at once! Synopsis:... Continue Reading →
Here we have yet another one of those long-winded, but attention-grabbing, light novel titles! The White Cat’s Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King’s Lap was originally a light novel by Kureha and with character designs by Yamiyo. This manga adaptation, by Aki, is a delightful shojo, isekai series about a young lady who’s always... Continue Reading →

Unfortunately, this manga doesn’t seem too interested in really dealing with any of the ethical issues surrounding said relationship. Synopsis: Momoka is a fan of professional wrestling and a special... Continue Reading →

Since the final volume just recently came out, I’m eager to share all of my thoughts on this series. Synopsis: In middle school, Futaba didn’t like boys and found them to be too... Continue Reading →
Hidekichi Matsumoto lives with her dog, Inu, and her cat, Neko, and began drawing this simple, gag-manga chronicling her daily experiences with her quirky and loveable pets and posting it on Twitter. It became so popular online that it was eventually published in physical books and I'm glad that it has been licensed in English,... Continue Reading →
Today I wanted to talk about a few shojo manga series that I feel are underrated, or are at least not talked about as much I think they deserve. Here are five series that I think could use a little more love: 5.) Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts I can kind of see... Continue Reading →

Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter is an interesting political drama, My Next Life as a Villainess is a hilarious and self-parodying harem series and now, Fiancée of the Wizard gives us a sweetly romantic tale of an ordinary person...
