ongoing. sports, performing, shounen-y

a story about a young ice skater and her mentor. a manga that is an illustrative feast - only a person who is obsessed with ice skating can create a manga like this. so much energy! and i love the main theme that a person can strive to climb seemingly impossible heights. the pacing is perfect - tense, heart-pounding, and perfectly highlighting the trust between coach and student. 10/10!

ongoing. comedy, horror, romance, oi

hilda gets transported into a horror game, where works as a maid for a noble family. what could she possibly do to prevent deaths when she’s the only one who knows that the esteemed son of the family is secretly a murderer and a devil? this comic is so unserious and it is a masterclass in tonal shifts. hilda gets into endless shenanigans because of her strong desire to live and her extreme shamelessness. if i were her i would have just died LOL. 8/10

• Author: orka
• Genres: Fantasy / Romance / Webtoons

ongoing. family, politics, regression

oh, shuri. one of my fav protags of the genre: kind, devoted, with an iron will to do right by her step-kids. some heavy themes of child abuse and pseudo-incest. while this is typical for the rofan genre, this comic excels at making the reader uncomfortable with these topics instead of using them as shock value or a romantic fantasy. after everything is said and done, there’s real tragedy underlying shuri’s strength. love her. 8/10

• Author: HAYASHIDA Q.
• Genres: Action / Adventure / Comedy / Fantasy / Horror / Mature / Psychological / Seinen / Supernatural

completed. action, fantasy, gore, comedy

dorohedero is unrelentingly, skin-peelingly stylish. every facet of this society is grotesque—the muck of the cities, the viscera of the masks, the stink of a corpse hole made from centuries of arbitrary violence. a story that makes you question your tangible identity (are you your body?) through some of the most violent sequences i’ve had the pleasure of reading. crazy ass pacing (positive). funny, horrifying, and tender in all the right places. 10/10
