Questions are good things. They are there to get to know others and to find the common ground with each other, with the people we want to love. Well, I would think that the biggest thing I need to learn is to love myself. I think at least. I like lists, I make lists, mainly about anime and manga that I want to read and watch. And sometimes about American books too. My life does revolve around things that I consume. And I do not know if I am fine with that. I would like to fancy myself that I like philosophy, but in truth, I like the idea of philosophy. In the sense, philosophy means the love of knowledge, because we cannot know everything. So we need to start with things that we do not know, even though there are many famous figures in philosophy, I do not want to read from them. Because the biggest thing that I do not know if myself. And, as I am right now, I am more interested in filling the emptiness in me, if that makes sense. But I like questions. So, I went out and looked for que...

A Boy Who Fishes Dreams - review

Score: 8/10 "This one shot has won 3rd spot of Daewon manhwa contest, and thus the author has a high(er) chance of being employed by Issue magazine." (Source: Sura's Place) This is a one-shot made by Hannah-hye, serialized in Daiwon in 2012. ☾ The art is a little bit off, I can't really put my hands on it, but the characters are a little bit stiff looking. But this is something that can be accepted from someone who only has one worked credited to them yet - this may be the creator's first work. But there is a lot of potential in them, just by seeing how they are leading the story. The background is actually okay, the scenes are well set. ☾ The story is about two boys who are in employment in an illegal dream recording business. They are giving hope to people whit recording their dreams and playing it back to them via nanotechnology. This is a futuristic technology that was banned because of criminals using it to blackmail people, which I can see happening even tho...

0/6 - Review on the go! [+18 nudity and well, it's ecchi...]

0/6 by Lee You Jung is an insane ride from the first glance. I haven't even started the second chapter properly and there is already a German teacher who is dressed and acts like Hitler. I decided that this story deserves more review as we go style to it. Score: 8/10 This a five-volume manga that was published in 2006. "0/6 was published in English by Net Comics; physically from January 25, 2005, to March 6, 2007, and digitally on February 8, 2015." -myanimelist.com "Originally published in Korean by Seoul Munhwasa (Seoul Cultural)." -myanimelist.com The story of 0/6 is a little bit convoluted and doesn't really follow a clear structure that usually other stories do. But that is something that is its strength. The humor is nice, the art style variates between interesting, detailed and downright ugly, but that is on purpose. Some of the backgrounds are the combinations of drawings and photos that give a strange comedic atmosphere to the whole manga. The chara...

Demon Breeder {Chapter 1+2 review}

Demon Breeder is a manhua made by Zhījū ǒu dǎ cí made in 2018 published by AC.QQ and it is currently an ongoing long-running series. It's status as it found listed on mangaupdates.com is up to the 52 chapters, but currently, there are only the two first chapters translated. The beginning scene is disturbing, men beating up a woman. There is no explanation for this, but I do believe that it sets the tone. The art is actually quite boring and usual, the story, however, promises a strange story between a boy and a demon. The main character, a young Shenmo Shui is a bullied kid, who is often beaten up because his mother is a prostitute. Because of his mother's occupation, Shenmo doesn't go home. Then he finds a creepy looking egg, basically, a Tamagotchi, who wants him to adopt him and raise him, in exchange, he will grant any wish that he can dream up. [Spoiler: The egg tells Shenmo that right now, he sees what his heart desires and can read it if he takes him in, and the bond...
