DREAM INTERVIEW ACHIEVED
I spoke with Makoto Yukimura about penning the final volume of Vinland Saga. We also spoke candidly about the J. Cole "I have no enemies" meme, my procrastinated tattoo idea, the state of the world, and how being strong means being kind. gizmodo.com/vinland-saga...

Daemons of the Shadow Realm (caught up)

This is really fucking good, it’s crazy how immediately it stablishes a likeable and enjoyable cast of characters, each one with something interesting going on, and a cool world for the story to thrive on

Holoearth Chronicles Side:E Yamato Phantasia is a shockingly fun Hololive Vtuber manga. www.siliconera.com/holoearth-ch...
Holoearth Chronicles Side:E Yamato Phantasia Is Fun Even Without Context
The Hololive Vtuber vibes are strong in Holoearth Chronicles Side:E Yamato Phantasia, yes, but the manga is also super accessible.

For anyone who didn't fall in love with My Dress-Up Darling's first season, I can guarantee you that you will for this second season. Because I was one of those people. And now I can't stop thinking about the show.
I Was Wrong About My Dress-Up Darling
This second season of My Dress-Up Darling not only heavily proves my opinions wrong but transforms the entire world and story into something so much more.
