Manga Review: Monster and Parent Vol. 3 (2024)

June 08, 2024

This volume seamlessly tackled multiple flashbacks and in a short time, the characters are effectively given depth. And I just love them all. Squeak is so cute. Saika is so naive. (Not a compliment though) Mitsuri is cute when he's crushing over Izumi and scary at the same time towards Nagumo. This is Kazuomi's volume as indicated in the cover. He's always consistent with his no-nonsense character. And he's so funny when he's imagining his godling, Hotpot as human. What are you thinking? What happened to Hotpot being an emergency food source???

It's good that the higher-ups are now involved with the situation which was my concern in the last volume. But the character conflicts are my least type of conflict. I hope it turns around on the final volume.The story pacing is on point and I'm hooked with the recent turn of events. And with how the storyflow is going I'm feeling positive that the conclusion will be satisfying but I'm scared as well as anything can still happen. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Kiskis! My Boyfriend are Mint Candies!- 4 episodes Tang Tang meet guys who each represent a flavor of mint candies. It has a catchy, cute opening. At first there's a different feel on it which I can't pinpoint. And then I realized that they are talking in Chinese! This is my first completed Chinese animation. Well since it was way too easy to finish it. It's 5-minute ONA for 4 episodes. I think this premiered last June 4. But the first Chinese animation I watched is still currently airing (unconfirmed reverse harem), Phantom in the Twilight, which is a collaboration between Japan and China. Oh back to back Chinese reviews after The Flame's Daughter. Is China going to be booming with reverse harem now?

Alice in Bishounen-Land Volume 2 by Yushi Kawata Art by Yukito With the help of a new member or two, Alice and the newly-rebranded idol group Triple S progresses in the battles. Disclaimer A review copy was provided by the publisher. Check out the first volume review . The first volume is so weird but trust me it gets weirder. But once you got used to the humor, everything seems funnier this time around. The randomness of the backstories, the non-stop comical situations, and cheesy jokes. I'm loving them all now including the minor characters. The one thing that balances it all out is Alice. She's the shining beacon of reason and her spot-on observations make it more laughable. For something crazy, it briefly touches 'beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder'. And it's not in your face at all. It is refreshing and satisfying to get some key takeaways from both volumes when you're least expecting one. The isekai element of the story is set inside an otome

I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2 (Akuyaku Reijou Desu ga, Kouyaku Taishou no Yousu ga Ijou Sugiru) Manga by: Ataka Light novel: by Sou Inaida Art by: Hachipsu Wen All Mystia wants is to avoid death in the otome game she is reincarnated in and to keep her family and servants safe. However, the guys seem to have bugs and are either raising or missing events on their own.Disclaimer A review copy was provided by Netgalley. Check out the first volume review . In the first volume, Mystia meets two of Kyun Kyun Love's suitors, Raid and Eric. In this sequel, we get to see how she meets Jesse, the teacher. For the fourth guy, Robert, it is more of pleasantries. The nicknames in the first volume are still not crystal clear to me. The sparkling prince. The cool tsundere. The gaudy guy. The yakuza teacher. I managed to get the first two mixed up while the other two have yet to unfold their said attributes. The competitiveness between E

Princess Maid/Maid to be a Princess (webcomic/manhua) 37 chapters - ongoing byKoowa Group & Ayu & Heibaigeer Princess Sophia is a spoiled princess of Vesperang. Then overnight everything will be taken from her and the princess becomes a maid in the neighboring kingdom, Norterang. In Norterang there are five brothers: Alex, the cold eldest prince; Luka, the second prince loyal to Alex only; Cecil, the third prince with unknown motives, and the fourth prince Darcy who is sickly. There's a fifth brother not in the picture, the youngest prince Harry. The start of the story is reminiscent of how Akatsuki no Yona started but instead of going with Hak she was taken by Su-Won. But that's how far it goes in terms of similarities and it's a different story of its own. Sophia's strength is her cleverness. It's not super battling of the wits but I enjoyed how the story banked on that . I feel for her when she's being bullied but she hangs on and proved herse

The 100th Time’s the Charm: She Was Executed 99 Times, So How Did She Unlock “Super Love” Mode?! Vol. 1 ~story by Yuji Yuji, art by Nami Hidaka and translation by Stephanie Liu Princess Alphina has been reliving her life up until her execution. But on the 100th time, she started suddenly hearing all the inner voices of the people and they all love her! Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher The blurb is clearly a reverse harem but my mind keeps lingering back on the line: she discovers that she can hear people’s true feelings—and that everyone secretly loves her. What if it's just like the generic love of everyone surrounding her? As the reality sinks in that it's another miss, things started to turn around more than halfway through. Yes, reverse harem takes a win for the day and no, we're not going to do a rundown of the guys. Now, enjoy the beautiful characters' illustration above and take a guess. I love her reaction when she hears their love litan

The Demon Prince of Momochi House 12 episodes - based on manga Himari Momochi inherits a house but finds it inhabited by a young master, Nue and his two attendants: Yukari and Ise. This is a mix of my first impression here on the blog and mini-impressions and mini-review from Patreon. And with some new insights. The cohabitation and the setting is like Fruits Basket meets Kamisama Hajimemash*ta. But I spoke too soon in the First Impression when I thought Aoi's past was sad. The rest of the characters' backstories are sad, one after another. But it's a kind of sad that makes you want to protect them all. And it always leaves you with hope and living in the present and moving forward. It has a slice-of-life feel in the countryside albeit with supernatural twists at the end of the day. Among the three winter 2024 anime (with 7th Loop and Doctor Elise ), this is the one that I was most satisfied with the ending. The anime versions did not do such beautiful characters justi
