Deadly battle of wits, vampires, and super powered gangs all getting mixed up

Bungo Stray Dogs vol 23 by Kafka Asagiri, Sango Harukawa

June 23, 2024 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bungo Stray Dogs is one of those extended episodic stories (manga series) that’s about a vaguely dystopic world in which people sometimes have super-powers that are literary themed. There’s a couple of main groups in opposition to each other but sometimes they work together, and there’s plenty of adventure and fighting. It’s also one of those series where things get dark, and maybe you see a hero run through with a sword, but then in a volume or two by some weird twist of fate, […]

June already? Sheesh. The Brass Verdict**** Ever since John Grisham lost his fastball in the late-90s, I’ve mostly forsaken legal thrillers. But I like the Bosch series and I wanted to read something LA-based and this delivered. It’s a fun plot with some legit exciting twists. Will probably go back to it at some point or maybe watch the show. Interior Chinatown*** I wish I liked this one more than I did. The satire is razor sharp, the story is deep and the pain is […]

Mom and Me…

I Wish I Could Say "Thank You" by Yukari Takinami

May 31, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

After reading GentleRain’s review of I Wish I Could Say “Thank You” by Yukari Takinami, I researched and found that while my bookstore could order me a copy, I decided that I would go the interlibrary loan route. I figured I could purchase a copy if I enjoyed it at a later time. And I probably will do that, but instead of keeping it for myself, I will donate it to my local library. I think others might be interested in this not easy to […]

The Color Black and Erased Memory

The Ancient Magus Bride Wizard's Blue vol. 8 by Makoto Sanda, Isuo Tsukumo, Kore Yamazaki

Is it weird that it’s sometimes uncomfortable reading in front of someone? As in, it almost feels like an invasion of privacy. Long story short, I’m hosting a family member temporarily out of their home for major water damage repair, and it’s been kind of hard to do extended reading time; that and it’s been crazy-time at work but that part’s better now. Anyways, both of those are why I’ve been going back to graphic novels and manga a bit more than usual lately (still […]

My First Manga… Ever

My Special One, Volume 1 by Momoko Koda

May 3, 2024 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

The Read Harder Challenge is living up to its name this year for me… pushing me out of my comfort zones and into areas I have not read in a long time or in the case of My Special One at all. My sister read manga when we were growing up and I just never saw the allure (it probably had a lot to do with my lack of reading comics, something she also did). The task was specifically to read a manga or manhwa […]

When corporate worker Seiichirou Kondou accidentally gets pulled into a parallel universe, he ends up asking for a job. Having been caught up in the spell that summons a “holy maiden” to save the kingdom, he’s something of loose end, but if he can’t return to his old life, he’ll make the best of things.
