What to Watch: Spring 2026
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This upcoming season is ramping up to be one of the most stacked I’ve seen in years. Sure, the list of new and returning titles always feels long—but usually, I can narrow things down to about ten “must-watch” shows without too much trouble. This time I wasn’t even close to that. As I started pulling titles, I saw so … Continue reading What to Watch: Spring 2026
[Recommended Watch] Animal Partner by JJALTOON on YouTube
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The last few weeks have been a bit rough. We ended up taking an unexpected hiatus—because of me—mainly because I didn’t have anything prepared for the first time in a long while, didn’t have time to edit other submissions to fill the gap, and was juggling midterms for almost all but two of the eight classes I’m teaching this … Continue reading [Recommended Watch] Animal Partner by JJALTOON on YouTube

[Recommended Read] Ai Ore!
By: Anonymous | @TAVmedia What can I say? Ai Ore! is a work that just stands out. Despite some of the elements that have not aged well, I found myself falling in love with it all over again in a recent re-reading after discovering it on VIZ Media. It’s a story about young love, identity, and self-discovery as two teens journey through the complexities of … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Ai Ore!
[Review] Bofuri Season 2
By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I have rewatched the first season of Bofuri: I Don’t Want To Get Hurt So I’ll Max Out My Defense countless times. It is one of my comfort shows and it never fails to put a smile on my face. So, needless to say, I was hyped for Season 2 back in 2023 and wanted to give myself ample time … Continue reading [Review] Bofuri Season 2
Happy Hearts and Matching Outfits #5: The Rainbow
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This year, I’ve been on the lookout for matching outfits that bring out the best (and most vibrant) colors from some of my favorite series. I really think that the attention to matching character outfits can be stunning and meaningful as it adds so much heart and harmony to the work. Here’s a rainbow of my top picks for … Continue reading Happy Hearts and Matching Outfits #5: The Rainbow
[Recommendation] Girl Crush: Connecting With Others Through Manga
By: Katherine Cañeba | @kcserinlee It’s a New Year, and it’s the perfect time to start a new manga! I would love to introduce you all to my newest favorite manga series: Girl Crush by Midori Tayama. It is a fresh coming-of-age story about female K-pop idol trainees supporting (and competing with) each other on their way to the top. In addition to the beautiful … Continue reading [Recommendation] Girl Crush: Connecting With Others Through Manga
[Rant] Revisiting Mattel’s MyScene Webisodes: #MeanGirls
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I was looking for something nostalgic to watch on YouTube when I came across a compilation of all the MyScene webisodes from 2000 to 2006. In my memory, MyScene was a goofy-looking web series about a group of fashionable late-teen girls (an Alternate Universe version of Barbie, Madison, Chelsea, Nolee, and Delancey) living it up in the Big Apple (New York City). Like many other … Continue reading [Rant] Revisiting Mattel’s MyScene Webisodes: #MeanGirls
Designing an Accessible, No-Cost Class for Comics: What I’m Learning
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I think most of you know by now that I’m very much a comics fan. I love discussing them, learning about them, and sharing them. Recently, I’ve also been hoping to teach comics formally in a class, and as part of the proposal process, I’ve started designing the course to create a proof of concept. When I began planning … Continue reading Designing an Accessible, No-Cost Class for Comics: What I’m Learning
