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."

Cool idea with cute art, mesmerizing fantasy world, and nice, diverse character designs. Plus the funny ‘denglish’ words in the genie language!

Tonhon Chonlatee – BL Drama (TV) Review

Arden Skye6 months ago6 months ago03 mins

This show is more comedy than drama, and the background characters (especially Ai and Ni) really carry most of it.

Murderous Lewellyn’s Candlelit Dinner, Vol 1

ivetafox7 months ago8 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…

A vampire in the bathhouse – Manga Review

Arden Skye7 months ago7 months ago03 mins

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

I want to love you till your dying day – Manga #1 Review

Arden Skye7 months ago7 months ago04 mins

The story is quite slow-paced, just like the protagonist, Sheena. Sheena is an orphan living in an orphanage where magic-users are sent to train for the war.

Dra-Q #1 – Manga Review

Arden Skye7 months ago7 months ago02 mins

Werewolves are the bad guys, crying makes their eyes turn red, flying lessons are brutal, and love turns into a bloodlust … interesting.

Tsunami – Graphic Novel Review

Arden Skye7 months ago7 months ago04 mins

I expected a lot, but definitely not this. While I don’t mind dark turns at all, especially such themes in stories that are marketed towards children, this was rather confusing. It had a really great start, however, the ending was disappointing. Not that I need happy endings – given the themes and writing style, I…

Sunder #1 – Graphic Novel Review

Arden Skye7 months ago7 months ago03 mins

An action-packed DnD adventure that actually has a lot going on, while at the same time feels like drinking your morning tea/coffee on the veranda.

Love Languages – Graphic Novel Review

The way they both started to learn the other’s native tongue, through pantomime and hand gestures, the way Ping explained some letters and James visually illustrated it … Beautiful.

Let Them Trade – Game Review

ivetafox7 months ago7 months ago03 mins

Let Them Trade is a real time strategy trading game with a hex-tiled map design, think the board game Catan. You build cities, set up trade routes and send your knights to go scout new lands. I only got to play the demo in the press release which is essentially the game’s tutorial. It wasn’t…
