4. Where the Dragon’s Rain Falls by SUMMER on Tappytoons – Like damn. Ch 69 came out, and I know I want to write about my theory that Suu is probably the fallen prince from the neighboring empire, but I still don’t have proof other than that Saharah, the dragon, likes Suu. And I know they’re trying to push the evil, manipulative consort story, but I’m just … Continue reading Quick Reads [Jan. 9 2020, P.2]
Hey all! I just had a great (3 AM) idea–I’ll start sharing my current reads with quick response! That will help me keep track of where I am in a series and you all can see what’s up. Here’s the first: 1. Chapter 1 of Interview with a Murderer, by KJK on Tapas/Tapastic – Looks pretty interesting. I’ll probably finish reading it today. What caught … Continue reading Quick Reads [Jan. 9 2020, P.1]
Hi all! Remember when I wrote that nice long review of AX 2019. Here are the notes: Japan’s Amazing Manga Magazine Japan’s top publishers are Shueisha, Shugakukan, and Kodansha. In Japan, manga/anime is fully integrated into media. For this reason, you can find manga regularly implemented in advertising as well as non-manga covers/images appearing in manga magazines from Japan. Why is Japan’s comic industry so … Continue reading AX 2019 Notes
I’ve been tearing through the isekai genre lately if you all haven’t noticed, and Lucia kept popping up on my radar while I kept avoiding it. I’m notorious for failing to read the official summaries before reading the available text itself, and that means I sometimes judge a series by their cover (though, more often, I do so by their title). I know the old … Continue reading Lucia: Why I Hesitated
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
