Black and White and Technicolor

Kafka by Nishioka Kyoudai, David Yang

Goblin Mode Guide to Life: Embrace Your Feral Side and Thrive in Imperfection by Editors of Chartwell Books

November 9, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Kafka – 3.5 stars Nine of Franz Kafka’s surreal and unsettling short stories are adapted into manga form, including both well-known works and less prominent ones among the collection. Like the creators of this book, I didn’t really “get” The Metamorphosis when I first read it. Something about the detail of the killer apple made me snort with laughter – but then my impulse in uneasy situations is generally maniacal giggling so I’m not sure how much that says. Unlike the creators of this book, I am […]

All it needed was Brendan Frasier

Fantasy Sports V01: Court of Souls by Sam Bosma

October 16, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The time came for me to look at old saved links for online reader copies. And one that I had been wanting to read, but the time was never  really right, was Fantasy Sports V01: Court of Souls. I figured that the Sam Bosma graphic novel might be a Space Jam of sorts. (Not that I have seen Space Jam one or two, but what I figure it was like) and it was nothing like that. Things were if The Mummy meets Indiana Jones meets […]

A crazy little thing, but I’m not sure it’s love

A Condition Called Love Volume 1 by Megumi Morino

September 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Manga is a unique format to read. You first have the different style of page set-up and then you have the themes. Though they are familiar (growing up, self-esteem, relationships, school) they can take on a different form then we are used to. There is also a cultural difference with possible different values and behaviors. Yet, I cannot really wrap my head around how the male character in A Condition Called Love Volume 1 by Megumi Morino is okay in any culture. At first, he […]

The wilds of high school social interactions

Komi Can't Communicate vol. 25 by Tomohito Oda

September 16, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 22: In the Wild Komi Can’t Communicate is set in high school (kind of the wilds) and Komi and her familiar group are separated in the beginning of their last year of high school, so Komi suddenly is faced with the challenge of taming a whole group of new friends (which is likely going to help her with her goal of making 200 friends since she’s only got a year left to do it). That and a good chunk of volume 25 is a […]

Clueless Romance in a World Where Nice and Smart Can’t Co-Exist

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! v.8 by Satoru Yamaguchi, Nami Hidaka

September 16, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 21: Sex So, when the main character of a fantasy romance game whose regained her memories of a past of life of being a modern mundane teen has absolutely no concept of sex at the age of 17, and everyone around her does, it makes for some mild cringe, but mostly entertaining hijinks. By this point in the manga, Katarina has managed to make her fiancée the Prince fall for her and express his desire (totally confounds her, an she pretends it didn’t happen), […]

One of My All-Time Favorite Works of Art

Fruits Basket Collector's Edition Vols 1-12 by Natsuki Takaya

Fruits Basket Another Vols 1-4 by Natsuki Takaya

August 29, 2023 by GentleRain 3 Comments

CBR15Bingo: Strange Worlds (Tohru becomes involved in the strange world of the Sohma family and there are supernatural events throughout.) The problem with writing a review of one of my all-time favorite series is that I mentally become that clip from a Lady Gaga interview (“Talented, brilliant, incredible amazing, showstopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference…”) and it makes it hard to summarize my thoughts beyond an incoherent shaking of the person listening […]
