Ozanari Dungeon is what I’d call a typical fantasy adventure series. This was released in 1989 which is more than 30 years ago although I must point out that it ran from 1989 to 1996.
Typically, in a fantasy adventure, there is always one thing: The MC has hidden powers of some sort.
Continue reading “[Manga] Ozanari Dungeon [1989]”Kaji Ryuusuke no Gi is one of a kind. You are unlikely to see anything even remotely similar in the future because such an era has now passed.
Released in 1992, this was released when the manga industry was truly wild west.
This manga takes on politics from inside rather than outside. This itself is very rare as most manga view politics from outsider’s view which is almost always seen as corrupt and, thus, bad.

After reading it again though, I see why.
Continue reading “[Manwha] Love at first sight season 2 [2008]”Anuki sets its place in a fictional war ridden era. Given technologies displayed in the manwha, I take it’s somewhere around 1930, basically World War I era.
Released in 2002, this was another manwha that drew my attention in early 2000 along with Yureka. I’ve fully scanlated this. However, due to translation quality, I’ve pulled the link.
A warning though; this review is spoiler heavy.
Continue reading “[Manwha] Anuki [2002]”The same can be said for manwha authors and animators to an extend as well.
A simplified answer is: Supply & demand. Of course, when you get into the details, the answer is not so simple.
Continue reading “Why manga authors struggle”This manwha is a tricky one. The most blunt way to describe this manwha is that it is a horror clusterfuck of a story.
Continue reading “[Manwha] Island [1998]”I’ve had this thought for some decades. But I haven’t said out loudly.
So, let’s say that Mike really loves anime A. He, living overseas, torrents the series and watches it. He loves it so much that he even reads scanlation.
And finally he proclaims that he is a huge fan of the author’s work.
Continue reading “Fake fans”AKA “Hannune Banhada” which is basically how the original Korean title (한눈에 반하다) sounds in English.
I am going to review season 1 and season 2 separately because trying to bundle the two seasons together is going to be a trainwreck partially because the two seasons are pretty much entirely different from one another.
Continue reading “[Manwha] Love at first sight season 1 [2006]”Break-Age was mentioned in my Yureka review. Therefore, I’ve decided to cover it.
Now, this is a manga. Yureka is a manwha. Manga is Japanse. Manwha is Korean. For Westerners and outsiders, this small distinction may not matter much. I mean both are a word for comic after all. However, calling manga manwha and vice versa can certainly trigger some people. I believe it is something like calling Welsh people British because you couldn’t care less. Or, in my case, I don’t think I will be able to tell.
Continue reading “[Manga] Break-Age [1994]”This is a brief review of Yureka which is the new type of content I am going to be working on from now on. I will do one or two reviews max per month and I will review mostly old series. I will also review recent webtoons if I find anything that attracts my interest.
Now, let us begin.
