After facing down the threat posed by the ESPers of Claw and its immensely powerful leader, you’d think that dealing with a cult would be simple for Mob and company. Except that the Cult of Psychohelmetism is proving to be far more threatening than anyone initially assumed. Springing up around the giant stalk of broccoli […]
He may have come out on top during a four-way ninja battle in an apartment complex, but now Kuro Kumogakure faces his greatest challenge: Infiltrating a high school. This is crucial because his bosses in the National Organization of Ninjas believe it has some connection to their rival organization Under Ninja. Why they’ve picked Kuro […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: Groo: Minstrel Melodies I’ve made no secret that I think the last few volumes of “Groo” haven’t found this series at its best. More overtly preachy, less funny, lacking the fun of the old done-in-one stories of the original Epic run, or even the twelve-issue “Friends & Foes” series. Well, good news everyone! […]
The “Tokyo Blade” 2.5D Stage Play is still in full swing, and now it’s time for Aqua and Kana’s big moments. Well, “big” in theory as Kana’s current mindset has her pulling back to support her co-stars so they can shine brighter than her. Meanwhile, Aqua, for all of his technical skill, still doesn’t actually […]
Up to this point, nothing has stopped Kuroko Koumori when she enters the fray. This time, however, she’s up against a goth-loli giant/mini partnership with enough armaments (and arms) to level the mountainside they’re fighting on.

He lived a full life, although the last few months of it were consumed by an investigation into something known as the Cthulhu Cult. The worshiping of a strange tentacle-headed idol, the chanting of “Ph’nglui […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Omnibus vol. 6 “Wait a second,” I hear you say, “Didn’t he already put this omnibus in this spot back in the May 2024 round of solicitations?” Yes. Yes I did. I also wrote there that my biggest concern was whether or not that omnibus vol. 6 […]
When we left Oczy at the end of the previous omnibus, he was resigned to his fate in trying to buy time for Badeni to escape with his knowledge. This involves fighting Nowak and his comrades as they try to apprehend him in the name of the Church. What follows is likely going to make […]
Luke/Lucy Westerna is still in Dracula’s thrall at the start of this volume, but there’s a chance a blood infusion might bring him/her back. Mina is more than willing to be the donor, seeing it as a chance to both save her friend and stick it to the other boys this evening. These concerns become […]
Not only did Anya survive her class trip hostage experience (with a little help from Loid), but she managed to get another Stella Star from the ordeal as well. Better still is that now all of the students in Eden Academy want to be her friend. Except Damien and his cronies, of course – but […]
