“Despite the amount of time I’ve spent in this game, I’m still not done, with plenty of lore and story still to discover.”

A vampire in the bathhouse – Manga Review

Arden Skye5 months ago5 months ago03 mins

3 stars because non-consent. Could’ve rated it 5 stars without it, because everything else is really good.

On the left, the back cover. A green background with no visuals, just text: "Tessa hasn't spoken to Olive in ten years and she's not about to start now... Delight in this enemies-to-lovers graphic novel with a queer twist! Struggling twenty-something Tessa has the dream of a creative career that never quite seems to take off and a long line of terrible first dates. When the coffee shop where she works goes out of business, she's able to visit her parents for the first time in years. Arriving at her family home, she discovers that her parents have rented out the basement apartment to her high school nemesis, Olive Virtue. Old wounds resurface during Tessa's stay, but an accident that traps them in the attic forces them to face their past and think about their future." $18.99 U.S.A.

I Hated You in High School – GN Review

More like: friends to enemies to lovers, with a bit of second chance trope. Not that it’s disappointing, I do prefer friends to lovers anyways.

Murderous Lewellyn’s Candlelit Dinner, Vol 1

ivetafox5 months ago7 months ago02 mins

This manga is strange. Billed as a thriller but more of a slow burn romance, a man finds out his neighbour is a murderer. Through a mixture of fear and poverty, the writer Shavonne continues to go on dates with Lewellyn. Pretty much exactly what the title suggests. I have a real problem writing this…

The front book cover of “Hi, Earth” (by Elizabeth Pich, Jonathan Kunz) on the right side: Planet earth, sitting on a chair surrounded by fire with the blue sky in the back. On the right, in the background, plastic waste can be seen lying on grass around a garbage bin. The back cover of “Hi, Earth” on the left: A blue sky with fire at the bottom. The sun is shining and grimacing in the top right, behind a 4-panel comic strip. Text below: “This hilarious and bittersweet collection of comics from the webcomic War and Peas pays tribute to a subject near and dear to us all: PLANET EARTH. With comics told from the point of view of animals, icebergs, trees, plastics, aliens, horny flowers, and a teenage praying mantis named Timmy, Hi, Earth packs a Noah's ark-size cast into just over one hundred delightful pages. These sweet and apocalyptic comics celebrate the wonders and weirdness of Earth even as we hurtle toward an uncertain future-roasting our human folly while also creating moments of wonder and appreciation for our beautiful, fragile, messed-up planet.” Andrews McMeel PUBLISHING® www.andrewsmcmeel.com 2025 JONATHAN KUNZ AND ELIZABETH PICH $16.99 U.S.A.

Hi, Earth – Comic Review

Funny, yet tragic. I mostly wanted to cry to these, but the morbid humor works well enough to even make me laugh away my tears.

A Study in Black Brew by Marie Howalt

ivetafox5 months ago7 months ago03 mins

Release date: 22nd May 2025 A cross between Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who, this sci-fi murder mystery is the most bizarre book I have ever read (and that might be a compliment). If you’ve read ‘A Study in Scarlet’ then you already know the plot. However, this retelling is set in space! Our protagonist, Kellieth,…

You are a sacred place – Graphic Novel Review

Arden Skye7 months ago7 months ago02 mins

“People are places, and you are a sacred place.”
A letter to those who are fighting depression and need some hope in their life.

A horizontal version of the cover of “under the boardwalk" from 2023. On the right it shows a sun umbrella where the 5 main characters (3 land crabs (Armen, Bobby & Manny) on the right and 2 water crabs (Ramona & Mako) on the left) are holding onto the pole. Armen is looking into the camera. On the left is the title in orange bold font, above the voice actor names of the 3 main characters: Keke Palmer, Michael Cera, Bobby Cannavale. The background is a landscape of the beach with more sun umbrellas and the theme park in the far back. The sky is blue and the sun is shining in the top right corner.

Quite the basic animation movie for kids, I’d say. But this one had a modern, in a good way, aspect. Feminist and inclusive.

Neopets: Tales of Dacardia – Mobile Game Review

ivetafox9 months ago7 months ago03 mins

Neopets: Tales of Dacardia is a free to play city builder, set in the Neopets universe. It is available as a mobile app which can be linked to the browser game for further in-game rewards. First impressions are okay. Nothing spectacular. The ‘crabbies’ (little crab robots) are cute and the tutorial is very generic. I…
