How does Akane fare in her debut as a true working woman in the rakugo world? Spoiler: Badly. ― Volume four is where I truly fell in love with Akane-banashi, for one specific reason: Issho Arakawa.

games

Dramatic Road isn't just a modern-day Fire Emblem. It's specifically a high school delinquent saga inspired by classics like Bari Bari Densetsu. ― Dramatic Road: the origin of wind has a brilliant high concept: it's a Fire Emblem-style strategy RPG set in modern-day Kanagawa rather than medieval times. Every archetype you remember from those games is therefore remixed. Archers are tennis players; arm...

Rebecca swims through anime and manga history to reach the depths of its mermaid fascination. ― Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 literary fairy tale wasn't necessarily a natural fit for Japan. Japanese mermaids, as readers of Rumiko Takahashi know, are more likely to grant immortality if you consume their flesh than to fall in love with a human. But the strange metamorphosis of storytelling can always ...

What makes this final batch of episodes so strong is that almost everybody gets a moment to shine or a moment of introspection. ― It's wild how far Pokémon Horizons has come.

Yuzu seems passive, but she's really a survivor stumbling her way into the light. ― The Cinderella fairy tale often draws knee-jerk reactions about passive heroines. Even some of her arguably more passive fairy tale sisters, like Snow White or Sleeping Beauty, are afforded more grace than the woman who rises from the ashes to become a princess.
