by Leave a Comment

Title: Plus-Sized Misadventures in Love!, Volume 1  Author: Mamakari  Illustrator: Mamakari  Annotation from Publisher: “All Yumeko ever saw were her flaws. Her unhappy outlook infected not just her, but everyone around her, too. It’s only after a car accident that leaves Yumeko with amnesia that she wakes up with a brand-new lease on life, one that attracts all kinds of adventures and maybe even love.”–   My Comments: So, at first I really did not like this book. There were a lot of bumps in […]

Not a buddy movie

Stray by Ryu Kamio

by Leave a Comment

Reading via an online reader copy is sometimes hard for me. But I persevere and just keep swimming, I mean reading. But with Stray there was the added issue of a big ol’ “watermark” in the middle of things. Nope, they did not want people copying the manga comic by Ryu Kamio and illustrator Nakamura Yuu. Plus, it is manga and therefore, the flow is off for my western eyes to start. With that said, a few days after starting, I finished this Yakuza meets […]

I’m not the audience. Are you?

Magical Beatdown, Vol 1 by Jenn Woodall

by Leave a Comment

I think it is time to either pause or cancel my Silver Sprocket subscription. I had gotten several books that I enjoyed and never would have read otherwise if it hadn’t been for this subscription. But in a recent shipment I had nothing but disappointing reads. The first I read was Magical Beatdown, Vol 1 by Jenn Woodall. It is a short zine that is created with light (almost faded, but still popping) blue and pink colors, quickly drawn looking lines and is overly simplified. […]

The Horizon Volume Two by Jh and Abigail Blackman

The Horizon Volume Three by Jh and Abigail Blackman

by Leave a Comment

Honestly, I think The Horizon Volume Three contributed to some bad dreams I had after finishing it. I had finished volume two of The Horizon a few days before, and that probably did not help. I had forgotten some of volume one, but at the same time you almost didn’t need it as it was its own story, but if you want to know how The Boy and The Girl meet and a bit of the war and situation the children are facing you should. […]

And I have volume three waiting!

The Changeling: Volume 2 by Tina N. Lugo

by Leave a Comment

The Changeling: Volume 2 by Tina N. Lugo is obviously the second in The Changeling series. And therefore, I recommend reading the first book first. And if you can find all three of the currently available titles, you should read them together, as while I was reading this manga series, I was hoping that it is only a trilogy. It is not that I did not like it (I would not have read two volumes if it was horrible), it is just that the story, […]

From Innocent to not so

A Smart and Courageous Child by Miki Yamamoto

by Leave a Comment

The book was read. The book was being digested for thoughts. And it was almost not written about. That book was A Smart and Courageous Child by Miki Yamamoto. It is an odd, unusual, emotional, relatable, out there story. Everyone gets out of it what they put in, where they are in life, their likes and dislikes and hates and loves. It is an experience to read but what that experience that is, is up to you. A couple learns they are going to have […]
