By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting While preparing a panel on free-to-low-cost sources of anime and manga for Anime Town Greenville, I came across a new series called Magus of the Library. I actually read the first chapter back in my review of the Kodansha Samplers, and so, with the reminder from revisiting those samplers in my panel, I decided to officially pick up the … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Magus of The Library
This review is a bit of a mixed bag because I spent the weekend (31 Jan.–2 Feb. 2025) wavering between feeling sick and being mostly okay, which definitely influenced my overall experience. First, let me start with some context: I have a rule about not attending events when I’m sick, but since I was well enough to work and thought I was mostly over it … Continue reading [Review] Anime Town Greenville
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last November, I had a choice between two conventions: Kumoricon 2024 and Anime Expo Chibi 2024. As many of you know, I’m a regular attendee at Kumoricon and, more recently, a panelist there. It’s a convention I love—a truly rewarding experience thanks to a staff that tirelessly puts on the event each year and a place I plan to … Continue reading [Event Review] Anime Expo Chibi: Growing Pains
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Aniplex Online Fest has been a staple of my annual calendar ever since the pandemic brought it to life. This entirely online “convention” experience became something I have eagerly anticipated each year, and the announcement that a recording would be available for at least a week after airing this year’s stream on YouTube was a huge relief. With my … Continue reading [Event Review] Aniplex Online Fest 2024: Lacking Depth
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting TL/DR: Overall, Yama-Con is a solid convention. It’s a small to mid-tier convention in terms of size and scale for the South and well managed given the size of the location. Outside the convention there is also lots to do. Maybe not worth the travel if you dislike mountain driving though… Last weekend, I attended Yama-Con in Pigeon Forge, … Continue reading [Event Review] Yama-Con 2024: Attendee Experience & Panelist Experience
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last Thursday, I attended the 9:40 PM release of Solo Leveling: ReAwakening, which has been described as a “bridge” between Seasons 1 and 2 of the Solo Leveling anime. Essentially, it’s the Season 2 premiere, and I was hyped going in. After a long week at work—and knowing I still had to go in the next morning—I bundled up … Continue reading [Short Review] Solo Leveling: ReAwakening (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!)
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
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)
