[Recommended Read] Let me tell you all about Sweet Rein… again~

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting December has started again, yet it isn’t the holiday season for me until I’ve re-read Yoroshiku Master (Sweet Rein, in the English translation)… again! A few years ago, I wrote about the series here, and—exciting news—the English translation is finally available on Amazon once more. I’m absolutely elated, and decided that I must discuss this series again in the hopes that … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Let me tell you all about Sweet Rein… again~

[Recommended Read] “Utena – Shadow Plays” by Jay Scott

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Revolutionary Girl Utena is not your typical anime. It has several different iterations, all following a magical girl, Utena, as she encounters a complex, weaving tale of love, identity, and revolution, set within the enigmatic walls of Ohtori Academy, her new school.

[Recommended Read] Anime Hanabi’s “The Easiest Asian Language!”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting As some of you may know, I’ve been on a (mostly quiet) journey to learn more about East Asian cultures and languages. I’m still building confidence when it comes to speaking, but I’d say I have a decent handle on reading and writing low-level Japanese and, lately, I’ve also been casually exploring Chinese and Korean. So when Anime Hanabi—a fellow … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Anime Hanabi’s “The Easiest Asian Language!”

[Recommended Read] CLAMP’s “Wish”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last July, I posted about CLAMP’s xxxHolic movie, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and since then I’ve been revisiting some of my favorites from the CLAMP team. The stories crafted by the CLAMP team share in an extraordinary ability to immerse readers in their fantastical worlds. While there may be occasional overlaps in artwork, character designs, and names across their … Continue reading [Recommended Read] CLAMP’s “Wish”

[Review/Recommended Read] Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story (Spoilers!)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting In the ever-growing world of reincarnation stories, it can be tough to find one that truly stands out. Most of these tales follow a familiar formula: a girl is reincarnated as (or transmigrates into) a villainess, meets a love interest, discovers that the original heroine is actually the main antagonist, defeats said antagonist, and eventually finds love and happiness. … Continue reading [Review/Recommended Read] Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story (Spoilers!)

[Recommended Read] The Works of Asumiko Nakamura

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting It’s challenging to recommend a series that hasn’t been officially licensed for translation, particularly an older one that may never be translated in our lifetime. This is especially true for the works made by creators who have often been underappreciated in Western fandom, despite having some works adapted into an animation and how popular the work itself may be … Continue reading [Recommended Read] The Works of Asumiko Nakamura

[Recommended Read] The Stellar Swordsman (Webtoon)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The Stellar Swordmaster by Hong Dae Ui and Juno on Webtoon has quickly become one of my favorite stories. If you know me, you’re aware of my penchant for epic tales. I love knights, sword battles, and the arduous training arcs where the protagonist genuinely earns their prowess through diligent effort rather than breezing through to overpowered levels with … Continue reading [Recommended Read] The Stellar Swordsman (Webtoon)

[Review/Recommended Read] I Woke Up as an Imprisoned Villainess (Spoilers!)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting A few weeks ago, while reviewing newsletters in search of a new series, I came across I Woke Up as an Imprisoned Villainess. The cover was mildly engaging and reminded me of stories that often feature twins or long-lost siblings—the kind of narrative I’m a sucker for. Intrigued, I clicked the link and read the description, which revealed the … Continue reading [Review/Recommended Read] I Woke Up as an Imprisoned Villainess (Spoilers!)

[Recommended Read] “Time and Again” by Yun Ji Woon

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I’m pretty sure that Pahanjip, also known as Time and Again, authored by Yun Ji Woon (or Youn Jiwoin, as there are many ways found for how to spell her name), is the first manga series that I ever purchased. Prior to acquiring it, I had read several manga titles online, borrowed them from friends or the library, and … Continue reading [Recommended Read] “Time and Again” by Yun Ji Woon

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Manhwa, the Korean term for comics or graphic novels, has gained immense popularity worldwide for its diverse genres and unique storytelling. One particular trope that often appears in manhwa is the overly competent aide to an already overly competent character who provides essential support to the main protagonist (or main love interest) often behind the scenes but making brief, … Continue reading [Recommended Read] The (Overly) Competent Aide is Given A Leading Role!: Please Repent, Your Grace!
