Quick Reads [Jan. 10 2020]

1. The Antagonist’s Pet chapter 12 – Sasha and Rebecca would make a great couple <3. Nice continuation even though the chapter feels like filler. We don’t really learn anything new, we’re just seeing more of the relationship between Sasha and Rebeccah which is kind of sweet. The more I read, the more I think that while Sasha and most of High Society in the … Continue reading Quick Reads [Jan. 10 2020]

Pet, episode 1: First reaction

Pet, episode 1: First reaction – 22 minutes of what? Review: This is probably going to be one of those anime’s that messes with your head a bit–that’s the feeling I got while watching episode 1 and that feeling of “what?” just continued the whole way through. I usually don’t like these types of stories but episode one left me feeling hopeful, probably because it’s got a … Continue reading Pet, episode 1: First reaction

Quick Reads [Jan. 9 2020, P.2]

4. Where the Dragon’s Rain Falls by SUMMER on Tappytoons – Like damn. Ch 69 came out, and I know I want to write about my theory that Suu is probably the fallen prince from the neighboring empire, but I still don’t have proof other than that Saharah, the dragon, likes Suu. And I know they’re trying to push the evil, manipulative consort story, but I’m just … Continue reading Quick Reads [Jan. 9 2020, P.2]

Lucia: Why I Hesitated

I’ve been tearing through the isekai genre lately if you all haven’t noticed, and Lucia kept popping up on my radar while I kept avoiding it. I’m notorious for failing to read the official summaries before reading the available text itself, and that means I sometimes judge a series by their cover (though, more often, I do so by their title). I know the old … Continue reading Lucia: Why I Hesitated

Mairimashita! Iruma-kun: Enjoying the Journey

If you are even remotely a fan or have read/watched any of Mairimashita! Iruma-kun, you can probably guess that this is the story of how Iruma, the main character, eventually becomes the Demon King. And he will, eventually, do so. Just like how Luffy and crew will, eventually, get the One Piece.  I theorize that his adoptive grandfather knows Iruma-kun is Demon King material despite … Continue reading Mairimashita! Iruma-kun: Enjoying the Journey

Yoroshiku Master – Best December Read!

December starts tomorrow and it isn’t the holiday season for me until I’ve re-read Yoroshiku Master again!  If you haven’t heard of it before, Yoroshiku Master is a really cute manga perfect for the holiday season (particularly santa-believers!). The summary from MyAnimeList is as follows: One day when 17-year-old Sagara Kurumi accidentally bumps into a guy on the streets, reins suddenly appear and binds them both! … Continue reading Yoroshiku Master – Best December Read!

Frozen II – Review (SPOILER WARNING)

(Me, on the left – my friend, @arielchiaroscuro on the right)  Last night, I attended a 9:45 PM showing of Disney’s Frozen II. The splurged on the special popcorn bowl, cup, and mini snow globe—I dressed up, and I made my friend take pictures with me in front of the giant display outside the theater’s entrance (the picture above is where I am, perhaps, the … Continue reading Frozen II – Review (SPOILER WARNING)

Just the jolt of excitement my boring life needed, she thought! Attending the debutant ball to meet this new Susanne, Adelaide ends up making a deal with the handsome duke Felix: become his “fake” fiancee so he can keep the gold-digging Susanne away from … Continue reading La Dolce Vita di Adelaide – A Brief Review

Taking Too Long: A Review and Critique of Daughter of the Emperor

I remember finding Daughter of the Emperor about a year ago and reading late into the night to catch up on the 80+ (maybe even 100+ at that point) chapters that were already out. I loved it then–but now its been a year and I’m growing impatient. Let’s jump into why: The story begins much like other reincarnated-as-a-princess stories of the isekai genre–in childhood. Daughter … Continue reading Taking Too Long: A Review and Critique of Daughter of the Emperor
