manga

Naono Yoshiko’s line of '70s shoujo horror stories is as grisly, harrowing, and all-around entertaining a read as they come. ― My introduction to Hide and Seek went thusly: 70's shoujo manga focusing on children who meet horrible ends. I heard “70's” and “children who meet horrible ends” and immediately thought of Ringing Bell, which (cold take, I know, but) to this day is still my gold standard of o...

It’s cute seeing a couple that’s too honest about how they feel, even if they reach the finish line a bit early. ― When is it too soon to let your feelings be heard? In this series, seemingly never. Ponsuka (aka The Klutzy Class Monitor and the Girl with the Short Skirt) might be one of the loudest romcoms about its feelings.

It’s the really fun dynamic between the central trio that keeps the show bounding along so entertainingly. ― I know, I know, it's yet another “reincarnated as an otome game villainess” anime. It seems we get at least one or two every season, so shouldn't the formula be getting stale by now?
