[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~

Ranma 1/2: Akane’s Potential Pansexuality

By: Jenna Morgan | @jennasoccerm Author note: I refer to Ranma as “he” since that’s what he refers to himself as, even in a feminine form. Nostalgia! Seems to be the ticket to our eyes, hearts, and wallets. Producers have been doing this for what seems like decades now—redoing everything that was made before that was deemed successful and loved. At this point, a lot … Continue reading Ranma 1/2: Akane’s Potential Pansexuality

Follow-Up: Who Made Me a Princess (Episodes 1-5 Impressions + Spoilers!)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting As of Episode 5, I feel like Who Made Me a Princess has been making enough distinguishable differences that it’s truly becoming its own series. And honestly? It’s better than I initially thought or gave it credit for in my initial review. The first three episodes left me underwhelmed, especially as a longtime fan of the webtoon. However, with … Continue reading Follow-Up: Who Made Me a Princess (Episodes 1-5 Impressions + Spoilers!)

[Review] My Alcoholic Escape from Reality: Going Nowhere & Being Okay With That

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Published in 2021, this book is what truly made me fall in love with Nagata Kabi’s work. Before this, I had read her famous My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness memoir-manga and a few other titles, but this one really solidified me as a fan of Nagata’s work. The story follows her experience with pancreatitis at age 31, and like … Continue reading [Review] My Alcoholic Escape from Reality: Going Nowhere & Being Okay With That

[Review] She Likes Gays, But Not Me: Teenage Cringe + Honesty = A Good Read?

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Recently, the Barnes & Noble in my new hometown in South Carolina faced a scare when their rental contract was about to expire. The situation caused a lot of commotion and led to a huge sale, which, of course, sent me into full-on “buy-all-the-books” mode. I ended up picking up over ten volumes of various series—some I had already … Continue reading [Review] She Likes Gays, But Not Me: Teenage Cringe + Honesty = A Good Read?

[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!”

[Review/Recommendation] The Amazing Digital Circus

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last week a lot happened that reenergized me and my passion for weird, animated, and wonderfully chaotic shows. One of the biggest highlights is that, after nearly six months, GLITCH finally dropped Episode 5 of The Amazing Digital Circus. Now, if you haven’t seen this series before, I definitely think you should check it out. Similar to shows like Vivziepop’s … Continue reading [Review/Recommendation] The Amazing Digital Circus
