Why is every master of their trade a 23 year old pretty boy? Impressions: I will have to admit that as far as these kinds of things go, this does have one of the better starts. Mainly because the lead is fairly charismatic. She’s confident, relatively competent, the period where she’s mewling in disappointment over …
First Impressions Digest 01/07/24 – Ore Dake Level-Up na Ken, Ao no Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Hen
Ore Dake Level-Up na Ken – 01 Yeah, this is one of those times where I just don’t get it. I know Tower of God is really the only manhwa I’ve liked (though the Noblesse anime wasn’t bad), which leaves me a suspect barometer. Even so, when a series has the kind of aggregator scores …

Finding something to say that would add anything meaningful, and stopping myself from gushing endlessly. I’ll say this much – there’s no bigger BokuYaba fan than me, and I was …
Tank with 9999 Defense #01 — Shield Hero
Put a point into originality. Please. Impressions: *rubs temple and sighs* Look on the bright side. This is the last of the dudes with cheat power in an RPG world shows. Not the last of the cheat power in an RPG shows. God, no. There’s still three villainess reincarnations yet to come. But this …
