Manga and Comic Reviews

Cat + Gamer vol. 1

Riko Kozakura is currently living her best life.  Every day she goes straight home from work without putting in any overtime because she’s got plans.  Plans to get in as much gaming as she possibly can before she has to go to bed and repeat the cycle the next day.  It looked like this was […]

Mob Psycho 100 vol. 8

The last time we saw Mob and Reigen, they had been invited along with a host of other psychics to the house of a millionaire who was offering big bucks to the individual who could successfully exorcize his daughter.  It seemed like it could be the basis for a reality show, until Reigen went in […]

Crazy Food Truck vol. 1

Gordon Goliath drives a food truck for a living.  That in itself isn’t a remarkable occupation.  Except in this case where he’s driving it through a world whose setting can easily be described as “Post-Apocalyptic.”  Business in a world where a good portion of its population has been wiped out is as terrible as you’d […]

Dai Dark vol. 3

The last time we saw Zaha Sanko, he had just been mind-controlled by the still-living remains of Hajime Damemaru, whose English name translates to “First Failson.”  Hajime had been kidnapped by the Lighthead Order, the cult from which the galaxy-wide megacorporation Photosphere grew out of, and thought that he could use Zaha as a distraction […]

Fanime 2022: The Return

“THE KUROSAGI CORPSE DELIVERY SERVICE” IS BACK, BABY!  I mean, it’s coming back in July to comic shops and in August everywhere else!  That’s the big news I learned from the Dark Horse Comics panel at the convention, and it was shocking for a couple reasons.  One is that I rarely expect to get big […]

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End vol. 4

The party gets a new member in this volume!  Sein is a priest who likes to drink, gamble, and smoke.  Between him and Heiter, Frieren and Fern are having to rethink what they believe the qualities of a good priest actually are.  Still, having another healer in the party is always useful and after having […]

Dark Horse Previews Picks: August 2022

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! vol. 4 Editor Carl Horn mentioned that Dark Horse had licensed vols. 4 & 5 of this series in the afterword to vol. 3.  So while it’s not surprising to see this volume here, it’s still very reassuring.  (On that note, there’s a Dark Horse Manga panel at […]

Dai Dark vol. 2

Zaha Sanko, the most wanted man in the galaxy, got his ship upgraded in the previous volume.  Now it’s time to find stuff to furnish it with!  Fortunately his ship’s minibot, Moja, knows that the best place to do this is at the nearest Marutech Shopping Ship.  They’ve got a lot of stuff on their […]

Delicious in Dungeon vol. 10

This volume starts off with a couple of stories that are as good as anything we’ve seen in this series to date.  The first tale involves our protagonists finally coming to Sissel’s – the Lunatic Sorcerer – home and having to deal with its guardian.  They may think it’s easy to deal with, until they […]

Chainsaw Man vol. 10

Hmmmm…. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to talk about how the previous volume ended, yet.  By that extension, the events of this volume are best left for the reader to experience for themselves.  That’s because, if you remember when Steve and I talked about Tatsuki Fujimoto’s previous series “Fire Punch,” you’ll recall […]
