By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting As we move into an increasingly digital age, it is interesting to see how public libraries continue to play a developing and shifting role in the public space. Of course, libraries maintain a focus on their educational role and ease of information access services, but while libraries have traditionally been known for their collections of books and magazines, they … Continue reading [Commentary] Manga in Libraries

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I don’t know about everyone else, but I hated the ending of The Abandoned Empress. I’ve been wanting to discuss it for a while now but was unable to bring myself to write about it until now because of the disappointment I felt after reading the ending. Spoilers ahead, by the way. For those needing a reminder, and perhaps … Continue reading [Analysis] The Abandoned Empress Should Have Been With The Knight! (Ending Spoilers)
By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I finally decided to watch In The Land of Leadale as it has been on my “must-watch” list for quite some time now. Initially, when reading about it, I thought it would have a feeling akin to one of my favorites, The Saint’s Magic Power Is Omnipotent. Similarly, In The Land of Leadale is an isekai about a girl who … Continue reading In The Land of Leadale (Review)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This year, I decided not to attend industry panels. Industry panels are typically reviews for release schedules of anime, manga, merchandise, and the like. While this can be fun to attend, it can also be a bit repetitive since most (if not all) of the titles being shared as new licenses (or titles that are set for release in … Continue reading Anime Expo 2023 – Industry Panels Master Post
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I love Middle Age-inspired stories, mostly because of their interpretation and integration of archetypal ideas regarding what it means to be a King, a Knight, or a Noble. It is something I’ve talked about several times on our blog and something I will undoubtedly continue to examine moving forward. However, rarely have I seen an address to the archetype … Continue reading [Analysis] The Return of the 8th Class Mage: What Makes A Mage (Spoilers)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Water and fluidity are often used as metaphors when discussing some nonbinary or non-conforming gender identities because they are both characterized by their ability to take on different shapes and forms. Water can exist as a liquid, a gas, or a solid, and it can change its shape and form depending on its environment. Similarly, some people who identify … Continue reading [Commentary] The Fluidity of Water & Genderless Characters
Alien Idol is an incredible series by JIAE. This webcomic follows the story of Rama, a genderless alien of a race that has three naturally occurring sexes (male, female, and nonbinary). Rama has always identified as a woman, and would have been able to make that choice upon reaching legal adulthood on her planet in the next year or so. However, following her and her … Continue reading [Review] Alien Idol by JIAE
