Outside Looking In
I feel like every generation has some “fandoms” that, although they can transcend time and appeal to various age groups, are seen almost as a “staple.” But, of course, it’s impossible to involve yourself in all of them. So here are the ones I missed out on, as a millenial growing up in the nineties/2000’s! Continue reading

Writing Rewind #13: Wings of Fate Chapter 8 Part 2
*I will only be making Friday posts for the month of December. Regular Monday and Friday posting will resume in January.* WOW, it’s been a while since my last post. Not because I’ve been avoiding it this time, but because I’ve been swamped with work and other things, but now I’m ready to re-embark on Continue reading

Manga Monday #8: Sugar Princess by Hisaya Nakajo
Hisaya Nakajo’s shojo manga Hana-Kimi is, at this moment, my favorite manga series of all time. When I first finished it, I binged the Taiwanese drama adaptation (loved it) and eagerly picked up her next series, Sugar Princess, when it was released. And, though it’s been a while since I read it, I remember two Continue reading

Manga Monday #7: Tokyo Mew Mew by Mia Ikumi and Reiko Yoshida (vol. 4-7)
*Warning! This post will contain spoilers!* Looking at the covers of the latter volumes triggered some memories for me, from back when this series was first released in English. Since Tokyo Mew Mew was the first manga I collected to completion and I started my collection as the series was being released, I would eagerly Continue reading

Manga Monday #6: Tokyo Mew Mew by Reiko Yoshida and Mia Ikumi (vol. 1-3)
I’ve been looking forward to this one, because Tokyo Mew Mew was the very first manga series I collected and read to completion. I was pretty young when I read it (probably early teens), but I have fond memories of the characters and stories, and I look forward to riding the wave of nostalgia. ~Reading Continue reading

Manga Monday #5: Absolute Boyfriend (vol. 4-6)
*Warning! This post will contain MAJOR spoilers!* Last week, I re-examined volumes 1-3 of Yuu Watase’s shojo manga Absolute Boyfriend, and this week, I’ll be tackling the end, volumes 4-6! I went into the tail end of this series expecting to be blown away, and in all honesty, I wasn’t – I kept both feet Continue reading

Manga Monday #4: Absolute Boyfriend by Yuu Watase (vol. 1-3)
*Warning, this post contains minor spoilers!* I’m not going to lie, I was initially leery of this series because of the “scandalous” cover of the first volume, which features a mostly naked man. I didn’t want to buy it in stores because I didn’t want the cashier at Borders to judge me, so I ended Continue reading

WARNING! This post will contain SPOILERS! The previous post, which discusses volumes 1-3, can be found here! Now, after starting the series several years ago and failing to finish it, I have finally read all of Full Moon o Sagashite! It’s a unique feeling to read a manga like this now, in my twenties, as Continue reading

Writing Rewind #11: Wings of Fate Chapter 7 Part 2
It’s been a few weeks since our last jaunt into the world of my hideous past writing, and I was only just starting to recover… but it’s time to go back and knock out the rest of chapter 7. Last time, we were introduced to two new major players in Major Leiter and Major Tango, Continue reading
