[Language Debate] Tankƍbon Is Not A Volume?

[Review] Kumoricon 2023: Attendee & Presenter Experience (+Panel Links)

By: Peggy Sue Wood Kumoricon 2023 – DraftBy: Peggy Sue Wood TL/DR This is a small-scale event with lots of people.

[Recommended Read] Pandora Hearts

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting When I think about Alice in Wonderland, I think about a professor who told me that Alice’s story is one about growing up.

The idea is that as … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Pandora Hearts
