Bleach Volume 30
Bleach Volume 30 by Tite Kubo Well, it has been a long time since I’ve read a volume of Bleach. Fortunately, it wasn’t too hard for me to pick up on what was going on even though I’d only read up to volume 16 or so in the past. Ichigo and his band of friends [...]

A cute girl in a kimono has her mouth open in an “O” of surprise, while a red-haired boy lurks ominously in the background. At school Shinobu spills milk on a bag belonging to Koguma, the intimidating tough [...]
Sand Chronicles #7
Sand Chronicles 7 by Hinako Ashihara As I was reading Sand Chronicles, I was reminded again how refreshing it is when shoujo series extend the time line of the story past high school.
