I’m not sorry this one’s almost over

The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life (Vol. 4) by Usata Nonohara, Ox (illustrator)

December 26, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’m pretty sure I’m only going to finish this series because the premise had potential at the beginning and several of the side characters were interesting. I’m kind of glad that the main storyline ends with the next installment which apparently just came out. I saw that novel may not be the end of the story, but I mostly don’t care anymore. So, in The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life (part 4), we get a new character who I was […]

Maybe It’s the Timing

The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life (Vol. 3) by Usata Nonhara, Ox (illustrator)

June 5, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’m torn: I like the general premise and a lot of the potential in the various story threads, but I’m starting to get annoyed with some of the main characters and perspectives. The basic idea of The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life (Vol. 3) is that Mariela, an alchemist puts herself in suspended animation to escape a monster attack and wakes up 200 years later alone in a changed world where her skills are highly valuable and rare. There’s an […]

When the word story is better than the graphic version

The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life, Vol. 2 (manga) by Guru Mizoguchi, Usata Nonhara, Ox

May 17, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I have decided that I like the light novelization of this story better, and this is unusual for me. Usually I run into the manga or anime first, then check out the light novels which tend to seem repetitive by comparison even if they actually came first. This is a warning that this will be as much exploration of why that is as it will be review. So, The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life has, besides a long unwieldly title, […]

The Book with a Long Title but Not Much Depth

The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life by Usata Nonohara, Ox (illustrator), Guru Mizoguchi (manga)

November 24, 2019 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I don’t always agree with the reviewers in Otaku USA magazine in fact I often don’t, at least on some big point or another. This time however, they nailed it. I saw a review for The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life, which decided that this was unremarkable, but cute, more about the characters than the story. Then I was off on a business trip and had some time to spare on my way to the hotel and wandered into a […]
