First Impression: Love Through a Prism

We descend from the clouds and hear the sound of a siren. The 20th century has just begun, and Lili Ichijoin is arriving in Edwardian London on an elegant steamboat after a long journey.

First Impression: In the Clear Moonlit Dusk

A high school girl is being pushed by the multitude exiting a train when a stranger with bright violet eyes stands up and takes her to safety. Yoi Takiguchi has a slender frame, a boyish face, and a serious, no-nonsense personality, and will always come to the aid of someone in need.

First Impression: Champignon Witch

Luna lives with her many animal familiars in a mushroom (champignon) house deep in the Black Forest, where she spends her days making medicines for the nearby townsfolk, though they know it not.

First Impression: The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife

In a world full of unusual beings like aliens and animal/human hybrids, Tonome is a detective who is also an invisible man.

First Impression: Tune in to the Midnight Heart

Arisu Yamabuki is a high school boy with a strong personality. A lesser man might’ve resorted to an inner monologue to introduce himself to the viewer, but not Arisu. The first chance he gets, he invites himself to the front of the class to explain exactly who his classmates are dealing with. He comes from… Read More First Impression: Tune in to the Midnight Heart

Manhwa Review: Not-Sew-Wicked-Stepmom, vol. 6

Abigail may be falling more and more for Sabrian these days (and trying desperately to keep it to herself), but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t also have a packed social calendar! First off, there’s that oddly persistent half-brother-in-law, Raven, to navigate, as Abigail pushes down her suspicions and seeks to treat him with compassion.… Read More Manhwa Review: Not-Sew-Wicked-Stepmom, vol. 6

First Impression: Wandance

Kabo’s freshman year of high school is just beginning, and for him, that means figuring out a way to just get by, to disappear into the crowd and blend in. Maybe that means spending time with his basketball teammates from middle school—after all, Kabo is tall and a good passer. But when he sees a… Read More First Impression: Wandance
