Uneven characters in real and D&D worlds

The Cleveland Heights LGBTQ Sci-Fi & Fantasy Role Playing Club by Doug Henderson

November 1, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

The Cleveland Heights LGBTQ Sci-Fi & Fantasy Role Playing Club has a nice premise: group of queer pals, some of whom are very different from each other, get together weekly for their D&D sessions. Most of the real world characters and issues have a generally cliché but still cute quality to them. Ben is one of the main characters, he’s gay (or at least prefers men), college graduate (degree in history) who lives with his parent and makes spending money selling pop-culture paraphernalia online. He […]

Spooky times at school

Toilet-bound Hanako-kun vol.9 by Aidalro

October 24, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Spooky month is here, and I’ve found a level of spooky that’s so far been my speed. Toilet-bound Hanako-kun is a manga that is a ghost story about Nene, a girl in middle school who gets drawn into the supernatural world and shenanigans of the titular ghost who haunts the girls bathroom in spite of being a boy and being able to effectively rule the school supernatural side of the world. There’s the friend who turns out to be an exorcist, and the mysterious figure […]

Why is it impossible to be both kind and smart for the lead character?!

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Roads Lead to Doom! (light novel volume 7) by Satorou Yamaguchi, Nami Hidaka

October 24, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Quick Premise review: a modern day Japanese schoolgirl dies after being hit by a car and wakes up as the villainess in her favorite romance role-playing video game. She uses her knowledge of the game to avoid the bad endings for her character, but now she finds herself in the sequel which did not get a chance to play during her previous life. Finally there is some actual worldbuilding and some actual characters develop in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to […]

Trying to Chef to Hard

Crave: Recipes Arranged by Flavour to Suit Your Mood by Ed Smith

October 24, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I appreciate the concept of Crave: Recipes Arranged by Flavour to Suit Your Mood in organizing itself by flavor combination profiles like “fresh and fragrant”, “tart and sour”, chilli and heat”, “spiced and curried”, “rich and savoury”, and “cheesy and creamy”. I like the focus on the idea that not all comfort food is mac and cheese; nothing against that, but sometimes you just want something like “honeyed halloumi with apricot fregola” or “orange blossom melon with frozen raspberries”. I also appreciate that in spite […]

Who Wears the Black Hat could be a Good Mystery to Solve

Jack Flash and the Faerie Case Files, volume 3 by Yu Godai, Mako Oikawa, Kore Yamazaki

October 17, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Now that we’re firmly in original story territory, Jack Flash and the Faerie Case Files volume 3 spends a lot of time setting up what could be a really interesting suspenseful adventure. There is a mysterious man in a black hat who seems to be involved in pushing a drug allowing humans to temporarily see magic and its users might be trying to herd or lure Jack and Larry into tracking him through a series of crimes connected by this drug. While the man himself […]

Really Hoping The Food is as Good as it Looks

The Korean Vegan Cookbook by Joanne Lee Molinaro

October 17, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

This might be the first cookbook I’ve preordered; I’m pretty sure that I actually ordered it months ago, and forgot when it was supposed to come out. Then came the shipping notice, and then The Korean Vegan Cookbook. This is actually almost a coffee table book give that it’s a glossy hard cover with lots of pretty pictures. That said, it also looks like it will be a lot of interesting fun to work through. Not only are the recipes pretty doable in terms of […]
