If you are even remotely a fan or have read/watched any of Mairimashita! Iruma-kun, you can probably guess that this is the story of how Iruma, the main character, eventually becomes the Demon King. And he will, eventually, do so. Just like how Luffy and crew will, eventually, get the One Piece. I theorize that his adoptive grandfather knows Iruma-kun is Demon King material despite … Continue reading Mairimashita! Iruma-kun: Enjoying the Journey
December starts tomorrow and it isn’t the holiday season for me until I’ve re-read Yoroshiku Master again! If you haven’t heard of it before, Yoroshiku Master is a really cute manga perfect for the holiday season (particularly santa-believers!). The summary from MyAnimeList is as follows: One day when 17-year-old Sagara Kurumi accidentally bumps into a guy on the streets, reins suddenly appear and binds them both! … Continue reading Yoroshiku Master – Best December Read!
(Me, on the left – my friend, @arielchiaroscuro on the right) Last night, I attended a 9:45 PM showing of Disney’s Frozen II. The splurged on the special popcorn bowl, cup, and mini snow globe—I dressed up, and I made my friend take pictures with me in front of the giant display outside the theater’s entrance (the picture above is where I am, perhaps, the … Continue reading Frozen II – Review (SPOILER WARNING)
In Chapter 41, the old bookstore owner tells Athanasia that she’s cursed. This is before she has the ribbon that Jennette gives her, which is being purchased earlier in the same chapter. The old man maybe an unreliable source, but I’m going to assume he’s right in this instance until proven otherwise. My theory is that her curse is something carried over from what I … Continue reading Theory: Athanasia’s Curse
So I binge-read A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special recently, and something hit me as the Fall of the Holy Empire shadow-world Arc ended–isn’t Desir living a Shadow World of his own life? See, the Shadow World, as I’ve come to understand it, is kind of a mix that reflects the world of the characters. It can be either the past of their world, where the … Continue reading Theory: A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special – Shadow World Inception
TappyToon Summary: “17 years after her own reincarnation, Adelaide hears that a dimensional traveler has suddenly arrived at the imperial palace. Just the jolt of excitement my boring life needed, she thought! Attending the debutant ball to meet this new Susanne, Adelaide ends up making a deal with the handsome duke Felix: become his “fake” fiancee so he can keep the gold-digging Susanne away from … Continue reading La Dolce Vita di Adelaide – A Brief Review
Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of comments and reblogs on posts with “spoilers” from the novels of popular novel-turned-mangas/comics/animes and I wanted to comment on this growing trend. I didn’t think it needed to be said before, but as a reminder: Each version of the story (novel, manga, and/or anime) becomes its own story. I have, as I’m sure all of us have at some … Continue reading “I read the novel and…” Are These Real Spoilers? Maybe not
This is a topic I’m revisiting after my first theory about the royal family’s magic was shown to be dismally wrong (I said that it might be light and black magic in my post, The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir). But what is their magic? Well, let’s review what we know so far: 1. Strong magicians are said to “freeze” their hearts because emotions can cause them … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family and Magic
I remember finding Daughter of the Emperor about a year ago and reading late into the night to catch up on the 80+ (maybe even 100+ at that point) chapters that were already out. I loved it then–but now its been a year and I’m growing impatient. Let’s jump into why: The story begins much like other reincarnated-as-a-princess stories of the isekai genre–in childhood. Daughter … Continue reading Taking Too Long: A Review and Critique of Daughter of the Emperor
A lingering question I have following the series… I wonder why no one considered Edna to be a bastard child or hidden daughter of King Ducaine. I mean, the story was easily set up for the possibility of Edna being viewed as a lost twin to Edan when a few characters recognize her as identical to “Prince Edan,” like Kain and McFadden never reach this … Continue reading Side Note for Light & Shadow Series
