It’s like reading a different series entirely

Although I’ve been keeping up to date with Chainsaw Man‘s second arc via the Shonen Jump app, I’ve also been making sure to keep my Chainsaw Man shelf growing with each new physical release. Still, it wasn’t until last night that I decided to sit down and re-read those volumes in that form. I’d been meaning to, knowing from my time with She-Hulk that following any comic/manga issue by issue is an entirely different experience, and for me usually one that drags down the material […]

Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto

I re-read this today while I was organizing my bookcases and considering whether or not to keep it. After the re-read, I’ve decided it can remain, so it’s been granted a stay of execution for now. Look Back is a one-volume manga about the friendship and working relationship of Fujino and Kyomoto. The two women meet in grade school, during which they both do comic strips for the school newspaper. Kyomoto is a shut-in and Fujino is sent to bring her her middle school diploma. […]

I’m late to the game with these reviews, plus I missed the best and worst of the year talks, but I don’t wanna falsely claim these as 2023 reads next year, so here goes. I’ve done very little in the way of reading these last two months of the year, pretty much keeping to my usual comfort picks, as I’m sure you can tell. Getting married, working 50 hours a week for a little while, and having two major holidays, will do that to you, […]

I’m impatient…

Chainsaw Man, Vol. 12 by Tatsuki Fujimoto

I saw on Viz that new chapters had been releasing and looked into when a new volume was due out. Turns out Volume 12 was already released. Where? Hell if I know. I couldn’t find it. But thankfully Viz, for only $1.99/mo., lets you read seemingly all that you want in their manga library, and that includes those Chainsaw Man chapters. So, since I refuse to wait for the physical copy to read it, I read it on my phone. Not the best way to read […]

Well, at least now I know Fujimoto is human after all….

It wasn’t until I read all of these one-shots separately that I realized a two volume collection (pictured above) was due out in the US. That probably would’ve beaten reading fan translations on sketchy free manga sites, which is what I wound up having to resort to. Oh well. Having now read them all, I don’t know that I necessarily would be rushing to buy the collection. That’s not to say there isn’t some quality content here, just that most of it feels like a […]

I might be on a bit of a manga kick… (oh, and double cannonball)

It might have something to do with me finding some, ahem, alternative means to reading them. What? I’ve tried the local library, but they’re useless. I wish there was some sort of online rental alternative. Maybe your library has some comics. If you’re super lucky, there’s some manga included in that collection. But good luck finding anything aside from like one copy of the most well-known properties. Apparently, for example, there’s only one copy of One-Punch Man, Volume 1, for example, hence why I had been waiting for […]

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.
