[Review] Dr. Player
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Dr. Player, available on Tapas, has quickly become one of my favorite reads for the year thus far. It offers a fresh take on the medical drama genre within a fantasy world by blending elements of class struggle, innovation, and a unique isekai-like system.

[Game Review] Magikarp Jump
Source: Pokemon Journeys, episode: “Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! Slowking’s Crowning!” I’ve been rekindling my Pokémon obsession, which has, in my opinion, remained pretty budget-friendly. While rekindling that obsession, I was reminded of the Magikarp Jump game that I used to play a lot. It’s a free-to-play game and one that I was actively playing for a long time and one which recently …

[Event Review] Japan-America Association of South Carolina: Cherry Blossom Festival
By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I believe cultural appreciation and exchange is very important, especially as someone who enjoys anime and manga. I want to experience more of Japanese culture rather than simply gaining it through osmosis via their media. Peggy has too and, recently, she has been getting involved with the Japan-America Association of South Carolina (JAASC). So, when I heard about the JAASC …
