Theory: Anz is the 8th Guardian Witch of the Wind!

Coincidentally, it’s also Saturday, the day ANZ … Continue reading Theory: Anz is the 8th Guardian Witch of the Wind!

Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita: A Review

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ In the ever-growing stock of isekai mangas featuring young women reborn in an otome game, what stands out to me about Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita is that Aileen/Irene (our main character) isn’t being given the full story of the game like her contemporaries. This is something her antagonist, and the game’s original protagonist, Lilia, seems to have gotten … Continue reading Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita: A Review

The Wolf Lord’s Lady: Ghosts of the Past (Analysis)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ Many things stand out about The Wolf Lord’s Lady. Particularly in how it opens–with our main character’s life completely falling apart. Her family, dead. Her lover, a spy. Her only options are living a life of solitude in a monastery or death. She chooses death, embracing the burdening sins of her family. All while putting on a cruel persona as … Continue reading The Wolf Lord’s Lady: Ghosts of the Past (Analysis)

What It Takes to be a Villainess: A Review

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial – Series suggested by: @stormyheart326​ Writer’s note: It’s been a LONG time since this series was suggested, and I’m sorry about that. However, it’s finally here! So, let’s jump in! – What is there to say about this series?  It’s kind of a model of its sub-genre for being reborn into the villainess role–an industry standard, so to speak, regarding … Continue reading What It Takes to be a Villainess: A Review

WMMP: OKAY, just a minute here…

I love that Lilian York, on at least three separate occasions, used Felix as a wall/shield. And the look on her face–like, â€œAugh. I want to go home. I’m tired.” Is just so hilarious to me. Like, she’s not hanging out with other women, nor men–she literally came to these parties for some reason (like an obligation, maybe?) and just decided to hang out with Felix whenever … Continue reading WMMP: OKAY, just a minute here…

The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir

theanimeview: I was thinking about Chapter 7 of “Suddenly I Became a Princess One Day,” particularly this scene:   and it got me thinking about The Obelian Royal Family and heirs to the throne. By all indication (that I hear) of the novel, and in our telling thus far, Athanasia seems to have a secure spot as future Emperor (rather, Empress) of the empire. I’m not going to … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir
