Review: Nisekoi: False Love vol. 21-25

By Dustin Cabeal

When I received the 25th volume of Nisekoi: False Love this week, I instantly noticed that it was thicker than normal volumes. Flipping over to the back cover I read the words “Final Volume” and got excited. My problem with many of the middle volumes that I read of Nisekoi was that it had that stretched out feeling that comes with a lot of manga stories that become successful. Yet, much like the way that Raku and Chitoge’s false love turned to real love, I surprisingly fell in love with this story. Part of me hates admitting that, but I can’t deny that it’s a love story unlike any other I’ve read. In particular, because it’s a harem love story in which the boy makes a choice and picks one of the women interested in him.

Review: Astra: Lost in Space vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

You can always tell a good story when it fills your imagination with ideas. Upon reading Astra: Lost in Space, I wanted to expand the idea, invent new aspects of the story and go on an adventure of my own. That’s probably weird, but that’s how my mind works. It’s not that I didn’t like this story, in fact, just the opposite, it was just a great idea that made me wish I had thought of it first.

Review: Black Clover vol. 10

By Dustin Cabeal

It’s a complicated feeling every time I read a new volume of Black Clover. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forget that terrible anime adaptation which depicts Asta as a screaming idiot that never stops yelling his shrill, annoying voice. Yet, when I pick up a new volume of the manga, I’m instantly reminded why this is an incredible series that continues to buck the trends of other manga.

Review: Twin Star Exorcists vol. 10

By Dustin Cabeal

The last few volumes of Twin Star Exorcists weren’t great. They were fairly average, but they seemed to mark a new direction in the story in which the battle would be more drawn out and move away from the fast pace storytelling that I had fallen in love with in the earlier volumes of the series. It made me a bit reluctant to return to the series which is why I’m only now getting around to reviewing the 10th volume.

Review: Food Wars! vol. 21

By Dustin Cabeal

The amazing thing about the shonen style of storytelling is that something can reach twenty-one volumes and yet the story hasn’t completed a full year. It also makes me wonder how long I’ve been reading Food Wars! for since I started reviewing and reading this series from the start of the trades. Is it any wonder that the dishes have gotten a little boring.

Review: My Hero Academia vol. 10

By Dustin Cabeal

Unfortunately, My Hero Academia is become a story with cool moments, but not a cool story. At the start, this world felt like a very Japanese take on the modern American superhero stories. It’s quickly changed into a political story, which isn’t bad, but the politics always seem to be set up by attacking children.
