An episode like this one has to be pretty depressing for aspiring shounen mangaka… Author’s Note: Please be very careful to avoid divulging any information about upcoming events from the manga. When in doubt, don’t post it, even if it’s remotely possible to view it as a minor spoiler. Thanks for […] Read more
The verdict is clear. Though honestly, there are so many spoilers in the comments section and Twitter that I’m not sure it makes a lot of difference whether I read the manga or not… How Should Guardian Enzo cover the Hunter X Hunter Manga? Read more
Leave it to Togashi Yoshihiro to put me in mind of T.S. Eliot and Indiana Jones in the same episode. This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang, but a whimper. – T.S. […] Read more
SquareSphere joined the ranks of Patreon patrons last week – many thanks! Squaresphere requested something on Leorio, so here you go… “Ode to a Butt-monkey” He seems useless, but He got mad doc skills. Besides, Someone has to drive Read more
