Beastars (Manga) Review
Full List of Bromance Recommendations If I have to describe this in one sentence, I’d say: An animal story that is surprisingly human. I confess that when I first learnt about the title, this is what I knew: School Life, Coming of Age, School Romance, Slice of Life, Animal Universe. Exactly the genres that I almost never ever touch. The end result: I gulped down 160+ chapters in 4 days. It is that good. The bromance? Not exactly the main theme of the story, but whenever it gets featured, the standard is gold. Here I am, telling you about the latest manga that I can happily put into the “Really…

Himitsu The Top Secret (Manga) Review
Full List of Bromance Recommendations The very best BL-undertoned manga I’ve ever read. And I am frustratingly surprised that this manga is not as popular as it deserves to be. I gulped down all 10 English volumes within 72 hours and have come to be certain that: This series will permanently have a very special place in my heart, alongside only 3 other fictional works: BBC Sherlock, The Guest and Dao Mu Bi Ji. Now, please bear with me as today’s recommendation is a lengthy one. I have too many praises for this manga. Genre: Shoujo / Josei, Mystery, Detective, Police Drama Author: Reiko Shimizu Running Years: 1999 – 2012…

The Trial Game of Life – Chapter 108
Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 108: Realm of Mortals (11) At the Second Gate, ‘Cemetery of Souls’. Tang Cuo experienced another explosion while searching for the cell phone tombstone of ‘Teenager Deeply In Love’. At this point, 73 tombstones were left standing, and another five tombstones had a battery of less than 5%. In these tombstones, Tang Cuo was certain there wasn’t a WeChat account called ‘Teenager Deeply In Love’, nor was there any video taken by the crowd that captured this guy’s face. But he must’ve been near Xishan Road, which meant he must be in this cemetery right now. What else had a connection with Teenager…

The Invasion Day – Chapter 80
Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 80 T/N: So these few chapters at Shuijing Lake are what I’d call an equivalent of the ‘beach episode’ that we often see in anime LOL. And what might be the purpose of a ‘beach episode’ in this sort of apocalypse story? That shouldn’t be too difficult to guess, huh? (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ Wen Zhaoming had an injury on his arm, so obviously he couldn’t be like them. He just leaned on the side of the car and gazed at the lake whose size was so large that its shore couldn’t be seen. “Wen ge, is your arm okay?” Miao Jia carefully put back his…

The Trial Game of Life – Chapter 107
Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 107: Realm of Mortals (10) As Tang Cuo continued to fight with the souls, Xiao Tong was in the monitoring room, smiling and clapping his hands intermittently. He raised his feet clad in military boots and put them on the table, leaned back against the swivel chair and watched the show with gusto. Xiao Tong specifically put Tang Cuo in the only single-player gate in the entire dungeon and let him face the three strongest Bosses. At present, one Boss was down and the story was only halfway through, but Xiao Tong felt that he could already see the ending. It would be…

The Invasion Day – Chapter 79
Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 79 One of the older men started: “My name is Zhou Weihua, electricity-type.” “Shao Le, wind-type.” “Wei Zhuting, fire-type.” “Lu Yu, rock-type.” “Mo Zhiyuan, earth-type.” Fu Shiwu sat aside and looked at these men with a blank expression. It seemed that Shi Zheng recruited only special ability users from the types that were originally believed to carry attack powers. The types that later discovered their attack capabilities, such as water-type and wood-type, weren’t here. This also showed that Shi Zheng didn’t have the means to obtain the latest research results. Tang Xuhai nodded to them: “Tang Xuhai, metal-type.” As his voice fell, he…

Saving Unpermitted – Chapter 34
Table of Contents Chapter 34: The Countdown Hou Ye wasn’t from The Old Fourth at first. When he was young, he did some labour work in the city and saved enough for a small house with his wife. Life was easy back then, where everyone smiled and called him Hou Ge. Later, such a lifestyle no longer worked. He got old and was no longer capable of engaging in strenuous work, and his wife got so ill that she was bed-ridden.

The Invasion Day – Chapter 78
Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 78 “My hard drive!” Fu Shiwu quickly took the hard drive. He probed the dent and said with immense distress: “Is it broken?” Seeing him being so concerned, Miao Jia said sympathetically: “Is there important data in there? It’s certainty broken, but some of the data inside may still remain.” Fu Shiwu shifted his gaze to Miao Jia, a gleam of light beaming in his eyes as he said hurriedly: “Miao Jia! You’re so good with computers, could you help me see if it can be fixed?” Miao Jia hesitated for a second, for usually in this kind of situation where the device…

The Trial Game of Life – Chapter 105
Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 105: Realm of Mortals (8) Warden Xiao Tong’s stick was called [Ruleless]. Xiao Tong had been a warden in Yong Ye City for so many years, and this black extendable stick was his symbol. It was always either hung on his waist or held in his hands, never separated from him. The applicable length of the stick was based on his height and arm’s length. Xiao Tong was 1.9 meters tall, so his stick was naturally longer. Its whole body was made of a special material similar to Yong Ye City’s black steel, its full length divided into three sections. When not in…

The Invasion Day – Chapter 77
Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 77 Tang Xuhai changed his clothes and returned to the library with something clutched under his armpit. The moment he pushed open the door, Fu Shiwu immediately opened his eyes. Opposite him, Wen Zhaoming was sitting sideways with his arms under his head and his eyes closed, and he was sleeping soundly. He asked: “You didn’t sleep?” “Can’t sleep, my head feels heavy. Are we leaving?” Fu Shiwu stood up. “You likely have overused your ability.” Tang Xuhai said. “Probably.” Still in a daze, Fu Shiwu asked: “What’s this?” “I found some clothes for you, put them on.” Tang Xuhai threw a piece…

Saving Unpermitted – Chapter 33
Table of Contents Chapter 33: The Old Fourth After the shower, Shu Jun poured himself a glass of water and sat on the edge of the bed. His body was basically made of erosive substance, so in theory, he didn’t have to shower, and the food he ate would also totally decompose by itself. But he still kept his old habits to make himself feel normal. Zhu Yanchen’s clothes were neatly folded and placed at the top of the bed, while the man himself was lying facing the wall, his breathing soft and even. His sleeping posture was quite normal — Zhu Yanchen no longer curled up in pain, his…
