[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. When I first started reading Dr. Player, it reminded me of Doctor Elise: The Royal … Continue reading [Review] Dr. Player
[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 … Continue reading [Game Review] Magikarp Jump

[Event Review] Triad Anime Con 2025: A Fun Saturday
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Triad Anime Con (TAC) is considered one of the largest, most well-known anime conventions in North Carolina. When I first heard about the event in 2024, it was recommended to me as one of the best conventions (along with Queen City) within the state’s anime community. It is said to draw in large attendance numbers and offers a variety … Continue reading [Event Review] Triad Anime Con 2025: A Fun Saturday
[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 … Continue reading [Event Review] Japan-America Association of South Carolina: Cherry Blossom Festival

[DLC Review] Spirit City: Lofi Sessions – Cozy Kitchen Expansion
By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow Last year, I reviewed the demo for Spirit City: Lofi Sessions and have been a huge fan of the game ever since. Once released, I purchased the game and now I use it all of the time while writing, crocheting, or even cooking. Needless to say, I was especially hyped for the release of their new DLC, the Cozy Kitchen … Continue reading [DLC Review] Spirit City: Lofi Sessions – Cozy Kitchen Expansion
[Recommendation] Get Involved With Your Local Japan-America Society

This is not a sponsored post, but I want to be transparent about my membership and any potential biases. I also recently spoke at one of their events, and I believe it’s important to acknowledge this as I recommend organizations like theirs to you. If … Continue reading [Recommendation] Get Involved With Your Local Japan-America Society
[Review] Banzaicon 2025: A Pricey but Passionate Gathering
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Attending a small anime convention can be a mixed bag—you never know if you’re stepping into a hidden gem or just paying for a glorified meetup. Unfortunately, Banzaicon leaned more toward the latter. While the passion was there, the price tag didn’t quite match the experience and so I want to discuss this convention in a way that is … Continue reading [Review] Banzaicon 2025: A Pricey but Passionate Gathering
The Magic of Magikarp
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hello, Everyone! SO… I created a panel on Magikarp! It’s probably the least professional and least academic panel I’ve ever made, but it’s definitely a passion project that I put a lot of time into. I was honestly surprised when it got accepted to two conventions so far—Anime Town Greenville (which I couldn’t present is at due to losing … Continue reading The Magic of Magikarp
