Monthly! Attack on Titan 54

Eren/Historia clone shows up again, this time, in Historia's dream. Rescue mission executed, Levi takes down a taller guy than him. Pervert who touched Armin thinks he's a homosexual after knowing that he was a trap. A deal between the Survey Corps and Reebs company was established. The Central Military police guys are having a S&M party with Hanji and Levi. Erwin and Pixis negotiating about overthrowing the government! That's a ton of information thrown out there!


We actually progress in the story now! I don't know if I'm just dumb or what (probably just dumb) but I didn't see the "coup d'etat" coming. I was looking at a "Mess with the Survey Corp and we'll unleash Titan Eren" plan from Erwin but it they took the hard way and just waged war with the King.

Previously on: Attack on Titan 53: Eren tried to do "Hardening" but failed. Eren had a vision of a lady who looks like a mix of him and Historia, he forgot about it immediately as if it were a memory that does not want to be remembered. Erwin and Nile talk about who the mastermind for the attempted kidnappings for Eren and Historia is/are. Lastly, attempts to capture Eren and Historia have failed due to Survey Corps' tactics and strategies. They used their enemies' attempt to capture both to infiltrate their headquarters. Jean and Armin were disguised as Eren and Historia to be baits for the enemy. We end with the Survey Corps getting ready to rescue Armin and Jean.

Monthly! Attack on Titan 53

Eren's titan form is actually controllable, he was a drag queen in the past. Captain Erwin is trying to get information from Nile (who is a Military Guard officer) using rather unorthodox means, fear. The recent recruits of the Survey Corps are targeted by the central military. Lastly, Ar... I mean... Historia and Eren were kidnapped. Let's talk about it!


Previously on: Attack on Titan 52: They plan to plug Wall Maria's hole using Eren's hardening ability (totally innocent sentence, you perv.) Levy's group has just learned about Pastor Nick's passing. He was tortured and forced to speak of what he knows about Eren's whereabouts. The Central Military Police has responded first at the scene but they were suspicious enough that Hanji caught on their crime. Historia then reveals her past and how she got her name Krista Lenz.

Review: The Wallflower Volume 1

1 mansion, 4 bishounen, 1 girl, 1 goal to "free rent." Four gorgeous teenage boy are tasked to do the (almost) impossible, to turn Sunako Nakahara; a macabre-loving girl, into a proper lady. Tomoyo Hayakawa really made something funny and beautiful with this title! Here you go, The Wallflower Volume 1!


You have just read the whole plot of the story. It's funny and it's definitely shoujo (hmm, just google "Free! Iwatobi Swim Club" so you have an idea), but guys, don't be discourage, there is still something for you here. Maybe a lesson about not calling girls ugly? Come, come, don't be shy!

Review: Me and the Devil Blues

After reading this big volume. It's packaged as an omnibus but they don't call it an omnibus. It's twice as long and I really enjoyed the ride this brought.


Warning! It has sensitive themes and nudity.

Well, a touring musician has a lot to sacrifice including family. Today's musician has it easier, but way back in the roaring twenties, it was like hell to be a touring bluesman. It's also not touring, but more like wandering.
