By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last weekend (16-18 August 2024), I attended the Queen City Anime Convention in Charlotte, NC.

[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

[Recommended Read] Jumping Over

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I always love a story with character growth. Whether that means the main character goes from being a petulant brat to a more mature person taking on responsibility, or having them grow into their own in the face of strife and hardship. When it comes to the latter, I recommend reading the webtoon Jumping Over by Jonijo and Suh Saya. … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Jumping Over

[Recommended Read] Until I Meet My Husband

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Until I Meet My Husband, to me, is not just a manga; it is a testament to the progress society has made in acknowledging and embracing diversity. By sharing his personal story, Ryousuke Nanasaki has contributed a compelling story that speaks to the ongoing conversation surrounding LGBTQ+ people and rights, which I believe has done a lot to foster … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Until I Meet My Husband
