Have you ever woken up in the morning and peeped outside of the window, where you saw a white fluffy cloud in the air going about its business? That is what it feels reading Makoto Shinkai and Tsubasa Yamaguchi’s “She and her Cat.” S&HC is a one-shot manga originally produced by the famed director of ‘Your Name Jeff’ & ‘Garden of Convoluted Puzzles’. He made it in 1999, and the manga was written in 2016. Also, for my artistic critique I’d only focus on the manga, because that is all that I have consumed of this piece. To preface, S&HC is a relation commentary between a girl and a romantically attracted cat, Chobi. It spans over one year, i.e. four seasons of the year, and deals with the mental toll our protagonist takes when she sees others doing well in their lives while her gratification comes from playing with her pussy (Literal Cat you degenerates). This summary is worse than one on WikiPedia, but I don’t want to spoil all the little percentage of fun thi...

In the immortal words ‘Somebody Touch Ma Spaghet’, I was imagining something along that border when I picked up my first Boy’s Love manga “I Hear The Sunspot” by Yuki Fumino. From outside looking in, it seemed like BL was all about getting in those pants with each other. You know what goes on in these parts of the town, you feel me? But what I got was completely different. Lets give it a little bit of introduction: IHTS is a BL that was released in 2016, I picked it up in 2018, and finally read it in 2019. I wasn’t delaying it per se, but I didn’t know what to expect. I have read enough YAOI doujin when they say, “Stop trying to do this on your own.” Instead it was a coming of age slice of life manga about a glutton and a Kaneki Ken ripoff. But you know how we do it here, so let me break it down. Masturbation Joke, Perhaps? ZE POZITIBEZ STORY: IHTS is set up in college, and follows the protagonist Taichi as he stumbles(literally) to find a bishonen boi sitting all gloomy on ...
Welcome to Animeland. On the right you’d see fantasy, slice of life, comedy and action. On the left you can see adventure, musical, romance & drama. Below your feet rests echhi and harem. And on the throne sits Isekai. Yes, today I’ll be talking about Overlord, the anime equivalent to ‘The frying pan is full, but its full of gasoline, so get ready for a blast.’ Its an isekai anime by MadHouse, the dying grandfather of anime studios. The first season aired in 2015, followed by a second & third season in 2018. Now that those facts are out of the way, Let me state my business here: I am here to answer why Overlord anime is terrible, run of the mil isekai trash with an interesting hook, and nothing more. Please note that this is not a review, but an opinion piece. I will be heavily criticizing it for each aspect this show rubs me the wrong way. ALSO, this is an anime 'opinion piece'. So take those light novels back to the library because you’re too broke to buy th...
In Just another attempt to make my wallet commit suicide, I picked up this volume that I had never heard of. Turns out, it is a new release by VIZ, written and illustrated by Aki Irei. This is the major work of mangaka to be translated in English for us western normies who can’t read Japan, and so I did give it a go. And oh boy, do I have some things to say! Yes, her hair is on point! Ran & the Greyscale Earth is a fantasy manga, which follows Ran, the titular character with shoe fetish. It is a story which includes sorceresses, Animorphisms, and run of the mill douchebags. And if you think this is all the summary I am going to provide you, you are correct. Let me be real and say that this read had something to offer for everyone, but it was not a pleasant experience. At least, not the first volume. Fetishes man, I tell Ya! So, lets go on this journey where I shatter your young hearts by verbally ripping apart your favorite (or potentially favorite) manga. Z...
So recently I was on my manga spree and my quest to drive myself broke when I came across two One-shot manga volumes known as ‘Oh, My Sweet Alien’ & ’Ne Ne Ne’. they both are recent releases by the time this review was written. Both share the same theme of marriage. Both of the couples have one individual who is a weird one. And if it’s getting too similar, I’m going to differentiate by saying that I only like one of them. Let’s figure out why… I’m going to pick the easier one first: Ne Ne Ne It’s a romance comedy which follows the story of Shin, a 37 years old ghostbuster who gets married to a 16 years old child named Koyuki. And that’s it. There is absolutely nothing else I can say that is exciting about it. Just a story of a girl getting married and not getting laid by an equally virgin husband. Before I rip it to shreds, let me highlight the positives of this book. First, the size of this book. I know it seems redundant but stick with me. It’s a very light an...
