Welcome! I review Japanese/Korean style Comics (aka Manga) that are in English. These could be foreign Comics with an English translation, or English comics done in the Manga-style.

I do both video and written reviews; you can see the video reviews on my YouTube channel or at the top of each article.

The list below shows posts in date order, however you can click on any tag (or the links above) to browse by genre, score or classification.

 
 

Angel Diary

If you’ve read Demon Diary, which is a series by the same authors, you probably know roughly what you’re in for here: a bunch of fantasy characters hang out together, then there’s lots of politics, then they all live happily every after.

Alice in the Country of Hearts

Now, this is an interesting idea. Take something popular - in this case, Alice in Wonderland - then move it completely into a different genre - in this case shojo manga. It has taken a bit of skill and the willingness to completely change a few of the original characters to pull this off in a new format, but amazingly this series has turned out really well.

Alice 19th

Alice and her love interest Kyo have the ability to use emotion-based magic words, and are prophesied to save the world from a great evil. Together with the help of several guides, who gradually turn up as the plot goes on, they [spoiler warning] do eventually save the world in volume 7.

A Certain Scientific Railgun

Basically, this is Japanese. By that, I don’t mean that it’s from Japan - although obviously it is. I mean it’s... Japanese. Suffice to say that this book is full of little girls with short skirts and super powers, said little girls beating up men twice their age with said super powers, oh and gratuitous shower scenes.
