Great introduction(s). Loud and performative like Tsubame, and poetic like Akutsu. And very wholesome!

Chibi styles in western media

Arden Skye5 months ago5 months ago04 mins

Chibis come from Japan, meaning “tiny“ or “little“. Heads are bigger than the body (sometimes the entire head can fit into the rest of the body). Everyone basically looks like a baby or a child. Supposed to be cute, kept rather simplistic. While it is mostly popular in Anime, western cartoons also have chibi-like art…

The front cover of "YOU WISH", volume 1 on the right. Avery, a tomboy girl with brown hair, blue trousers and a black shirt with a cute burger face on it, is seen standing in a black rocky cave. She's holding an American oil lamp, which shines the light for her. She looks determined. Next to her on the right is sitting a cute dog-like being with a red mask all over his body. He has yellow eyes and is looking cutely to the reader. Dimly in the background, a monochromatic figure can be seen – a genie with a large body and small head, an earring on an ear, is angrily looking down on Avery. Text reads: ""A WHIMSICAL NEW TWIST ON THE GENIE LEGEND! THIS BOOK IS GORGEOUS!" -JEFF SMITH, AUTHOR OF BONE. YOU WISH by Jeff Victor." Left page shows the back cover. Avery and the red genie assistant can be seen hovering in air. While Avery is restless and hoping the red being won't drop her, he just smiles and looks away, tightly holding her. Background is a deep red mist. Text reads: "What if you found a genie's magic lamp, and rubbed it only to discover that You were the genie? "Magical, charming, gorgeous, funny and heartfelt! Jeff Victor's You Wish is the kind of graphic novel I wholeheartedly wish I had growing up. Aside from the glorious art, get lost in a fully realized world full of magical characters and charming lore. You will wish it would never end!" – Jorge Gutierrez, Director of The Book of Life and Maya and the Three."

Enjoy this laugh-out-loud, wordless comic collection, which follows the everyday adventures of Zom, a zombie girl; Ari, a resident vampire; and Theo, a loveable werewolf. Zom and her fantastical friends navigate everything from dating to beach trips to roommate spats in a colorful, engaging world full of ghouls, skeletons, and ghosts.

ZomCom’ics – Webcomic Review

Loved it! (Especially the Spiderman meme lmao. Or the death reaper situations.) Silent comics are always so cool, and shows again & again how you don’t need many words (or any words) to tell a story! I especially love how diverse and creative each strip is. All kinds of mythological creatures in situations that I…

A crime fantasy book that technically reads like a youngster’s adventure, yet the themes and language are definitely for adults.

Star Quest Academy – Book Review

Doesn’t feel that brand new, possibly has lots of similarities to other works (someone on another platform mentioned Harry Potter, can’t confirm though), but it was a fun ride. (And I’m way older than the target group!) Diverse, adventurous, creative, and focused on friendship, which always is a plus. – Story: Quite fast-paced, there’s always…

A horizontal promo image of Moana 2. Moana, Maui, and the 3 additional characters (Keke, Moni and Loto) as well as the Kakamora are on the boat on the right, while Pua is sitting on a wave to the left, which is putting Hei-Hei back on the boat. There's the ship of the Kakamora, and an island, which looks like an open mouth of a whale, and a sunset in the background.

Moana 2 was quite disappointing, when I first watched it, but after I let it rest for a while, it didn’t seem that bad anymore.
