In July of 1927, a young man decides to take a tour of New England to acquaint himself with its sights and do some research into his family history.  When traveling from Newburyport to Arkham, he finds that there’s another route between these towns that most people try to avoid.  This route goes through Innsmouth, […]

After slaying the legendary ship-killing dragon known as Typhon, there’s only one thing left for the crews of the Plana Grava and Quin Zaza to do:  Carve it up, split the bounty, and have Mika make some dragon hamburg steak with the leftovers.  Oh, and for Jiro to get into a fight with his way-too-carefree […]

It appears that I should’ve waited until the release of this volume before posting my thoughts on this series so far.  That’s because it contains the last bit of the manga adapted for the anime as Ruby, former genius child actor Kana, and Youtuber Mem-cho – who is hot off the success of “Let’s Fall […]

For an orphan ward of the church living in 15th-Century Europe, Rafal looks like he has it made.  He’s the brightest of his Father’s students and will be going away to university to study theology in the near future.  So the fact that a former heretic named Hubert will be staying at his place, because […]

While the Four Little Shits think they’ve brought the fight to the Photosfere Corporation by heading to their headquarters on the planet Kenzarn, things quickly take a turn.  After Zaha Sanko and Shimada Death split off from Avakian and Damemaru, they wind up in an enclosed space that’s actually a ship.  Not only is this […]

This series has been switching its focus back and forth between Io and the Federation and Darryl and the Nanyang Alliance for a while now.  Each side has been preparing itself for the forthcoming conflict, with the latter coming out ahead more often than not.  The previous volume did an excellent job illustrating what’s at […]

The saga of Kaguya’s freedom wrapped up in the previous volume, and there’s only one volume left to go before the series wraps up entirely with vol. 28.  Though the lack of a central plot to drive the action would seem like a major problem for these final volumes, it’s actually a blessing in disguise.  […]
