By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ It’s Women’s History Month (March for those that don’t know), and I have recently found myself in a lengthy discussion about women in animation and comics.

Sinister Transformations and Duality in Kasane, Vol. 1 (Review/Analysis)

​​By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers I first read Kasane by Daruma Matsuura a year ago, and I loved it even as I was torn on how to feel about its depiction of beauty standards and gender norms. Matsuura’s work is a fascinating study on the blurred lines between acting and living, as the plays performed on stage hold up a mirror to Kasane’s own life … Continue reading Sinister Transformations and Duality in Kasane, Vol. 1 (Review/Analysis)

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). Austen typically wrote about the places … Continue reading For Better or For Worse: A Revival of Jane Austen’s Concept of Good Marriages (Analysis/Review)

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

Salaryman’s Club (Review)

By: Beata Garrett  | @zhongxia246 Salaryman’s Club only has two episodes out in comparison to other Winter 2022 anime, but it’s filling that sports anime hole in my heart pretty well and is a contender for my favorite this season.
