[Recommended Read] “Time and Again” by Yun Ji Woon

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I’m pretty sure that Pahanjip, also known as Time and Again, authored by Yun Ji Woon (or Youn Jiwoin, as there are many ways found for how to spell her name), is the first manga series that I ever purchased. Prior to acquiring it, I had read several manga titles online, borrowed them from friends or the library, and … Continue reading [Recommended Read] “Time and Again” by Yun Ji Woon

[Review] Kodansha Samplers from AX 2024

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Usually I would not review samplers, however I came to the realization that not everyone knows that big publishers now offer free samples of upcoming works online for people to read. Similar to webcomics, where you can read the first chapter (sometimes up to 3 or 5 chapters) for free, publishers and distributors, like Kodansha and VIZ media, now … Continue reading [Review] Kodansha Samplers from AX 2024

[Review] Ace’s Story (The Manga)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This post should have gone out a while ago… but it’s been a busy summer so I hope you all can forgive me. Long time fans of One Piece are probably well aware of Ace, Luffy and Sabo’s brother, who consumed the Mera Mera no Mi devil fruit that gave him the powers to create, control, and transform into … Continue reading [Review] Ace’s Story (The Manga)

[Review] Tokyo Camouflage Hour

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting While at AX I received a number of samplers for upcoming releases of various titles. Particularly previews for new distributors Orange Inc.’s Emaqi brand that is launching soon (if not already by the time this is posted).

[Event Review] Queen City Anime Convention 2024 – Attendee Experience

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last weekend (16-18 August 2024), I attended the Queen City Anime Convention in Charlotte, NC. I had never been to this event before, though I had heard about it from vendors at a few events in the past year. Having been provided mixed reviews, I took it upon myself to go check it out and the result is… well, … Continue reading [Event Review] Queen City Anime Convention 2024 – Attendee Experience

[Review] Under the Oak Tree (Advance Reader Copy)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Anime Expo this year was amazing, as I discussed already in an early post! While there, I stopped by one of the booths at the exhibit hall where—for some reason—an employee gifted me an ARC of the print comic Under the Oak Tree set to release in early September of this year. For those not familiar, an ARC, or … Continue reading [Review] Under the Oak Tree (Advance Reader Copy)

[First Impressions] Delico’s Nursery

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I love vampire stories, but I only love a certain type of vampire, one that is regal and opulent. The kind that preferably lives in a huge castle or mansion, wearing clothes of nobility, and having a dignified air about them. A classic depiction, certainly, but one that has stood the test of time for a reason. So, it was … Continue reading [First Impressions] Delico’s Nursery

[Commentary] Media Literacy & Iizo Zine, Issue 01

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting To be honest with you all, I really enjoy zines. If our blog ever gets to the point where our team decides to get a booth at a convention, I’d likely create and print a zine to distribute at the event. They’re fun and easy to make, and just something I enjoy reading. A zine, in case you do … Continue reading [Commentary] Media Literacy & Iizo Zine, Issue 01

[Event Review] Anime Expo 2024 Presenting and Attending

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hello, Everyone! You know, almost every year I say that this will probably be my last Anime Expo because it’s just become so big and so complicated, but this year I think I’ve committed to coming back. If any of you saw our announcement on June 29th, I was set to present 4 times during AX this year (and … Continue reading [Event Review] Anime Expo 2024 Presenting and Attending
