LITC got me through senior year of high school and was honestly one of the most realistic manhwas I've read. Skylar and Cyrus both deserve the world after everything they've been through; I pray this series has a happy ending for them.
And of course there's Paskim's art style!!!!! It's so unbelievably pretty. It captures nuanced lighting and subtle emotions like few other authors I've read from....more

The soft art style and concept were all very cute, with sweet characters to reinforce this as a decently enjoyable read. Still, there was more explained about tea dragons in the follow-up handbook than in the actual story, so everything felt too oversimplified even for its middle grade audience. An undeniably charming graphic novel, but I couldn't help wanting more!...more
I always forget about this manhwa until I see someone post about the latest chapter, and then I’m without fail insanely invested all over again. That I always forget about this manhwa until I see someone post about the latest chapter, and then I’m without fail insanely invested all over again. That repeating cycle happened to me again today, but this time was different because oh my lord THE NEW CHAPTER (59)??? As a tjian lover I’m sick (affectionate). I hoard their flashback chapters like they’re gold and this one showed us the first time they crossed that line of friendship into more sixteen years ago. Doyak conveys intimacy and passion without words so beautifully throughout this story, and this might’ve been the best display of that yet.
I’m so serious when I say I want to eat Doyak’s art style. Their rendering/shading/colouring scratches my brain in the best way. Things aren’t really muted, but ambient lighting and dark backgrounds are often used to create really visually stunning scenes or character framings. The main three look incredible and the way their expressions convey so much nuanced emotion really impresses me. Love love love this manhwa, it’s definitely one of my favourites just visually alone!
Praying and manifesting for a tjian endgame, but I think Jo’s sweet too! My favourite trope is best friends to lovers, though, and the deep passion in TJ and Ian’s relationship—especially as is being revealed in the current chapters—really does it for me. Can’t wait to keep reading!!...more

Stayed up until 3AM for this to release on kindle, very convinced we'd get some more Nichoji relationship development, but most of it was in the snippets Pacat dropped before the pub date. I think I'm going to be on my deathbed before they become canon because WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE NEXT CHAPTER IS DROPPING 2025?? I love these cuties so much, but that long for their next 'appointment'... I'm sick. I'll be surviving off of crumbs (their handholding panel) for months.
I enjoy every volume of fence almost no matter what, and this was no exception. While this portion was essentially just a big setup for the beginning of state championships, I adore these characters so much that just seeing them interact with each other is enough for a minimum 3 stars. Sue me. I loved Aiden and Bobby teasing Seiji about his date, and transitioned right into wanting to cry when Robert Coste didn't even acknowledge Nicholas, being so focused on Jesse and Seiji when Nicholas was so eager to make him proud :(
Well.... see you guys next year. Hold strong, fence enjoyers! We're no strangers to waiting ages for the next release.
Before reading
Nicholas & Seiji's reluctant teammate/roommate arc has been going on for eons... I started reading these comics in elementary school, and just finished my first year of university (where I even took fencing classes because of how much I loved this series!) But the synopsis.... after a million comic volumes and two whole novels, dare we say it's finally happening?? We're finally getting the boyfriends arc????? I will die....more

I've been meaning to read Scott Pilgrim ever since the new show came out last year, since I saw it circulating the internet everywhere and it honestly looked great. I can't believe this first graphic novel was published 20 years ago; reading it now, everything about it seems so fresh!
I can't even find anything to nitpick at with this first issue. It was just mindless fun and dry humour and a really adorable art style. It was lowkey a jumpscare when 'Toronto public library' showed up, and then all of the Canadian t-shirts and beer bottles and references kept rolling in as I flipped the pages. Not used to my home city being the setting for such widely known and loved series, so that was an added bonus! I'm so so so happy to have found a silly little comic like this. Such a great palette cleanser between the heavy fantasy novels or manga I tend to read more regularly.
Wallace Wells is an icon I love him so much <3 Knives was really cute too, Scott better let her down easy!!! Scott himself was the perfect upfront, dry-humour protagonist. No idea what's going on with him and Ramona and their maybe magical dream thing... but I'm here for the ride.

Nicholas + Seiji both Can't believe I have to wait another 72 years for another volume + the follow up to the cutest (and shortest) date of all time.

Clumsy witch girlfriend and himbo vampire boyfriend whom she accidentally turns into a cat. What’s not to love?

I don’t know why they made Frankenstein so hot in this, but I’m not complaining!! Also: I desperately need his hair care routine (those long blond locks are too beautiful).
I gave Noblesse a read simply because I liked the cover (as usual). The art style is great—reminiscent of your typical DC/superhero comics—but the actual plot felt mashed together in a weird way that didn’t hook me at all. Besides Rai’s mysterious origin, the rest of the plot following vampire attacks and a misfit bunch of high schoolers felt kind of uninteresting; these concepts have been done before, and done much better. Not a terrible read, just not a standout in its genre....more
I didn’t expect to start feeling sorry for Seth this early on (or at all) considering the way ENNEAD started.

Things have already become so much darker, though none of it feels out of the realm of possibility considering the insane things gods do in a lot of well-known mythologies (Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, etc). Having the initial villain become a victim flipped this story on its head in a way that makes me even more eager to continue reading. The story is unique and compelling thus far!...more
An Egyptian mythology inspired manhwa!? I had to read this. ENNEAD is a dark tale following the Egyptian gods as they try to cast Seth from his throneAn Egyptian mythology inspired manhwa!? I had to read this. ENNEAD is a dark tale following the Egyptian gods as they try to cast Seth from his throne, using Horus as a means to take him down. The lyrical narration, pretty art style and twisted plotline are making for a really promising beginning to this story. Egyptian mythology always fascinated me as a kid, so it was pretty inevitable that I'd love this. I was kind of surprised at how much knowledge went into Ennead; there's a good amount of exposition woven into the beginning for those unfamiliar with the gods, and the plot all the while feels new and interesting. All this paired with truly beautiful full-colour art culminated into an addicting story I'm eager to continue with!...more
