[Recommended Read / Manhwa Review] Dungeon Break With A Female Lead: I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I’ve been reading a lot of dungeon break comics lately, and I’m really enjoying the genre in manhwas. The art style, which emphasizes clean lines, lighting, and shadows, is reminiscent of Jang-Sung Rak’s work in Solo Leveling. The majority of these comics focus primarily on action, with romance taking a back seat, if it appears at all. However, I … Continue reading [Recommended Read / Manhwa Review] Dungeon Break With A Female Lead: I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul

[Recommended Watch] UN-GO: A Missed Series

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Years ago, when I first watched UN-GO, I thought for sure this series would hit BIG. If not that year, maybe a year or two down the line as people had more time to catch up on it. However, after a decade of seemingly no coverage, I can’t help but want to shed light on this missed opportunity of … Continue reading [Recommended Watch] UN-GO: A Missed Series

Muffy: Will You Give Her A Wonderful Life?

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow On one fateful Christmas day, I got Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. This was not only the first farming simulator I ever played but also the first game I had ever played that allowed (or, in this case, required) you to marry someone. It was revolutionary to me as a child, and it opened my mind to a new way … Continue reading Muffy: Will You Give Her A Wonderful Life?

A Better Bookworm: Bibliophile Princess [Short Review/Recommendation]

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Back in April, I wrote a post criticizing Ascendance of a Bookworm‘s main character, Myne, for liking bookmaking or the idea of reading rather than actual books. I stand by that statement still, as I feel like most of the series is still more about Myne and an isekai journey to being the greatest protagonist than it is about … Continue reading A Better Bookworm: Bibliophile Princess [Short Review/Recommendation]

Kumoricon Review (Presenting), Part 2

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hi, Everyone! Last week I discussed my attendee experience at 2022’s Kumoricon. However, now I’d like to discuss my experience with presenting. The deadline for submitting the panel application was around the end of the summer season. This felt pretty standard to me, as most calls for panels, papers, and other forms of submission are often called a season or two … Continue reading Kumoricon Review (Presenting), Part 2

Kumoricon Review (Attending), Part 1

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hi, Everyone! This month has been one of my busiest so far, and part of that is due to my traveling from Southern California to Oregon for fun and academic/professional purposes. I’ve split this into two reviews, the first being strictly for attending the convention and the second for paneling. I did this because I felt like both were … Continue reading Kumoricon Review (Attending), Part 1

I remember getting a lot of promotional merchandise related to the film at AX this last year and have been looking forward to the movie for months. Now that it’s out, I’ll let you … Continue reading One Piece Film: RED (Review? Rant? Both?)

Happy International Animation Day!

This celebratory day was first created in 2002 and celebrates 20 years today! In celebration of the day, I tend to host a small watch party with friends for different independent works that each of us has enjoyed, and this year is no different! Later today, I’ll be binging Season 1 of Metal Family (and a few other favorites) on a Zoom call with friends. … Continue reading Happy International Animation Day!

Princess Tutu: Rewriting Your Narrative

By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers On the surface, Princess Tutu is a simple and formulaic story: Ahiru, a duck, is transformed one day by her love and desire to be with a prince named Mytho. To get closer to him, she becomes a ballet student at his school and transforms into Princess Tutu to retrieve shards of his heart. She hopes to make Mytho’s heart … Continue reading Princess Tutu: Rewriting Your Narrative
