One Piece novel HEROINES Volumes 1-2 Light Novel Review

Jul 4, 12:00 novels

Every option is on the table, and nothing is too trivial for these airy little vignettes. ― The women of One Piece have always been an area of missed potential. They're maximized for sex appeal first and foremost, drawn with interchangeable silhouettes and allowed to kick ass so long as they duly cede the spotlight to the story's male characters immediately afterward. This makes One Piece: Heroines, ...

The Merman Trapped in My Lake Volumes 1-2 K-Comic Review

Jul 3, 12:00 korean

To call this an unhealthy love story may be a bit of an understatement. ― If there were a literary fairy tale that was going to teach you that not all love is healthy, it would be Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. Despite what Disney told you, Andersen's mermaid is obsessed with her prince to the point where she sleeps on a cushion outside his room like a dog (worse than a dog, really; mi...

Magilumiere Co. Ltd. Volumes 1-12 Manga Review

Jul 1, 12:00 manga

Although it’s a bright and breezy magical girl manga with an adorable cast and plenty of fun, flashy battles, at its heart, Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. is a pointed criticism of dehumanizing mega-corporate culture. ― The dispiriting search for meaningful (or even merely paid) work is a depressing experience common to almost every twenty-something college graduate.
