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
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
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

A great collection of poems
that remind us
poetry doesn’t have to be rhyming,
one only needs to know
the art of language,
and how to weave the words
in a way
that touches the reader’s soul.
Toxic Daughter: Chi-chan – Manga Review
The blurb sounded really cool – dark. It does start pretty unhinged and like the beginning of a slowly creeping horror story, but then focuses a bit (too much for my taste) on a hetero romance and I wanted to barf. However, I had a bad feeling about the guy’s trying-too-hard-to-be-good vibe from the beginning…
