July 14, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Why I Adopted My Husband: The true story of a gay couple seeking legal recognition in Japan by Yuta Yagi is one of those books that you can give the book report on: it is from 2017 when two men show the world their love by becoming father and son…. sort of. But legally, they are. When same sex marriages are illegal (in Japan), how do two men secure their basic rights, and deal with such things as inheritances and medical decisions? In an open, […]

Lumine Volume One: A WEBTOON Unscrolled Graphic novel by Emma Krogell

June 7, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

“Oh boy, this looks like a manga series,” I said to myself (I knew it was me, as I recognized my internal voice and was wearing my You Don’t Gnome Me socks). “Nope, I won’t read….” But then I saw the cover. Lots of blue, black and this shock of white. (Fascinating. So simple, but that is a real draw. Oh, is that a white wolf?) Then I saw that fateful phrase, WebToons. Oh! I like WebToons. And so, I said, “Self,” (again, it was […]

Monster, Volume 1 by Naoki Urasawa

June 2, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

This manga has been making the rounds on YouTube, so when Read Harder prompted me to read a graphic novel/comic/manga if I hadn’t before (I had of course) OR read one in a genre I hadn’t read from before, this manga started calling out to me. I’ve actually read almost every genre I can think of in graphic format, but for some reason I’ve overlooked crime/suspense/thriller. Tracking this down was a bit of a challenge, especially because my library doesn’t have any copies, but luckily […]

Spy X Family vol 8 by Tatsuya Endo

Manga parents are usually either absent or flat stereotypes; is some ways Loid and Yor’s relationship in Spy X Family goes that way; they are not absent parents to Anya, but they do play into the “I think I like you but I can’t possibly say that out loud” trope. Their marriage was faked because Yor needed a man in her life to draw attention away from herself (she’s an assassin) and Loid needed a wife to complete his fake family that he needs for […]

Noragami vol 25 by Adachitoka

April 16, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

There are not a lot of fight-based manga or anime (and a lot of general adventure ones that can drift into this category as well) that I can think off that I’ve genuinely followed the entire way through; I almost always get tired of the never-ending formulaic exchanges, both plot and dialogue. I was starting to wonder if Noragami had not started to go that way, but volume 25 has save the story for me, at least for now. What looks like a major potentially […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
