That marathon was incredible. I’m going to kick myself forever that I didn’t find out about the event until hour 11 (alternatively, the eleventh hour) and missed so much. Tragically, I missed almost everyone I really cared about, even Ted Leo. (Thank god for Youtube and clip repeats at 4 am.) I woke up [...]

I upgraded Wordpress, and K2 isn’t playing nicely with it. So, I’m afraid the very generic default layout will be up for a bit until I can make something better. Not sure when that will be, unfortunately. The review for the new Loveless chapter will be up eventually, along with the review for the [...]

Review: I’m very biased. In general, I don’t like any manga or anime that was made before 1998 or so, and even that is difficult. Artwork is very important to me, and I really like the current trends in modern anime and manga, while I hate the older, fluffy-haired characters with fuzzy [...]

Yessss, it’s finally back! I wasn’t neglecting it, in case you were wondering. Kouga took a long, agonizingly cruel break so this is the first new chapter since the February issue. A summary and scans after the jump.

As you might expect from the title, One Thousand and One Nights is a retelling of the famous tales in manhwa form by Jin-Seok Jeon and Seung-Hee Han. I’m not familiar with the stories (except for the most famous ones, like Aladdin), and I’ve never read any manhwa before, but after reading telophase’s [...]

I found this in my unsorted manga folder but didn’t remember it at all, so it was a wonderful surprise to find. It’s about two freshmen, the tall but insecure Fumi, and the cheerfully naive Akira. They were best friends as very small children, but Fumi moved away and forgot all about Akira. [...]

Wow, time flew by, didn’t it? Let’s get started. This time, I finally I have the original Japanese edition on hand to do a side-by-side comparison. (I still intend to get 1-3 JP eventually.. but some other time.) Here’s some photos to compare: Sorry for my hands in the last photo. [...]
