The Promised Neverland Vol. 10 Review
Spoiler Alert: Children get beaten to near-death — a lot. I mentioned in our previous review — Volume 9, for those just joining us — that Kaiu Shirai’s The Promised Neverland “never hesitates with enforcing soul-destroying despair within this demon-eat-man world”. Granted, Volume 10 advancing Emma and co.’s take-down…
My Hero Academia Vol. 19 Review
Hot-blooded shonen action? Nah, it’s school festival time! Ah, now that’s more like it — some much, much deserved down-time for our fledgling superheroes. After taking down a deadly crime syndicate, losing Nighteye, and rescuing a traumatized little girl, Izuku “Deku” Midoriya and the rest of the Class 1-A…

Dr. Stone Vol. 5 Review
It’s time for science! And cheating. Just how is Dr. Stone so good? I know, I can’t stop gushing over its post-Taiju volumes, but just compare how that series stumbled out the gate — not the least in a rushed premise and two protagonists, one charismatic and the other…
One Piece Vol. 90 Review
Make way for the Reverie. It’s over, it’s over. It’s finally over. After begging and pleading for Whole Cake Island’s three-volume climax to end, my wish is finally granted as of One Piece Volume 90. As we inch ever closer to triple-digit volumes, we spend the first couple chapters saying…
