For Better or For Worse: A Revival of Jane Austen’s Concept of Good Marriages (Analysis/Review)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ I may not show it often, but I’m actually a huge sucker for a good romance. Personally, I enjoy Jane Austen’s approach to good marriages and finding love in the novel of Pride and Prejudice, which I find to be rarely emulated in romance fiction today (the movie’s depiction, of course, is very different).

Tokyo Revengers is the Worst Shounen I’ve Ever Seen

By: Beata Garrett  | @clearsummers I’ve spent a few good months starting and stopping Tokyo Revengers, and recently decided to give it another go.

Tokyo Revengers is one of the worst … Continue reading Tokyo Revengers is the Worst Shounen I’ve Ever Seen

Chocobo GP And The Nostalgia That Comes With It

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow​ On one fateful Thursday, Nintendo dropped a Direct that sparked many conversations.

Salaryman’s Club (Review)
