In case you’re wondering what the big event was in vol. 22, The Lonely Island are here to catch you up on it.  From Miyuki’s POV, I would assume… Vol. 22 left off on kind of a big cliffhanger as it let us know that Kaguya was going to have to finally break the news […]

There’s been a major change in Seiichi’s life since the last time we checked in on him:  His mother has been arrested for pushing Shige off of the cliff way back in the first volume.  She’s currently undergoing psychological examination to determine if she’s competent to stand trial, but her absence from her son’s life […]

Longtime readers will know that I was a fan of “Assassination Classroom” by Yusei Matsui.  It re-imagined the “Inspirational Teacher” story as a wacky Silver Age “Superman” tale after a round, yellow, tentacled alien took over teaching the worst class at an elite school.  All so that they could kill him before the year was […]

You know, it’s been some time since we’ve checked in on Kenji and Shiro.  Vol. 18 finds the former at something of a crossroads as the manager of his salon has finally returned from Vietnam.  This leads everyone to assume that Kenji’s status as the de facto manager is over and now the stylist is […]

In case you haven’t heard, “Golden Kamuy” has wrapped up its run in Japan with vol. 31.  Which is some great timing as the events of this volume clearly indicate that this series is heading into its endgame.  It all picks up with the action from the previous volume as all  of the parties start […]

I thought we’d be getting more action to kick off this volume based on how vol. 7 ended, but that’s not the case.  The kunstlers who show up make quick work of the opposition just to show off how badass they are.  Which wouldn’t be a problem if some of them weren’t dealt with in […]

Vol. 3 left off with Mista getting the upper hand on Pesci and his Fisher Man Stand.  Which means that it’s time for the bad guys to get it back and they do with the formal introduction of Prosciutto and his Thankful Death Stand.  They still have to find the turtle that’s housing Bucciarti, Giorno, […]

You know who we haven’t seen in a while?  The twins Laila and Lely and their husbands Sarm and Sami.  We’re reintroduced to them as the girls are being their usual energetic selves and making the repair of their roof more of a hassle than it should be for their husbands.  Everyone’s attention is subsequently […]

Vol. 21 gave off clear “beginning of the end” vibes.  Vibes which were confirmed when it was announced that the series would be ending with the release of its 28th volume.  It also marked the first time in the series where I felt that the drama overwhelmed the comedy.  Not that the drama was bad […]
