Book 88: Pokemon Adventures Collector's Edition Vol. 1
I've read the Red & Blue arc quite a few times at this point, and it still holds up really well! The series does a great job of taking the elements of the games and crafting a unique story with it!

Book 86: Harlem Beat Vol. 3
The outcome of the 3-Slam match was a bit surprising, but the build up to it was very satisfying. While Harlem Beat does have its unrealistic elements, I do like that it emphasizes strategy over mere spectacle.

Book 82: The New Gate, Vol. 2
The story still seems to be taking its time, but I'm glad that the supporting cast is slowly expanding. The battles in this volume also looked really nice!

It looks like the wait for the second volumes of the Shaman King spin-offs won't be long! 👀

Book 81: RWBY: The Official Manga, Vol. 1
I would honestly recommend this over Vol. 1 of the show. Bunta Kinami's art style fits surprisingly well with the series, and the manga looks fantastic during the action scenes!

Book 80: I'm a Behemoth (manga), Vol. 1
I wasn't expecting much from this manga, but it actually wasn't bad! The fan-service is a huge detractor for the series, but Aria and Tama were decent characters, so it didn't completely turn me off.

Book 79: Restaurant To Another World (manga), Vol. 1
This manga is such a great comfort read. The food looks crazy delicious, and the fantasy character reactions to it are incredibly entertaining. I should really finish the anime and read the LN. 😅

Book 77: Lupin III Vol. 7
Whenever I revisit the original Lupin manga, I'm reminded how much the franchise has changed since its inception. This volume had some fun content though, like the split personality story and the chapters with Lupin in college!

Books 75-76: Love Me, Love Me Not Vols. 1-2
The twist in this was unexpected! I love that the relationships in this series don’t feel static and have a natural growth/decline. I honestly have no idea where this is going and that makes me excited!

Book 72: Saiyuki Vol. 1
I never read/watched Saiyuki before this, and now I wish I had! The series does a great job a balancing the casts' lighthearted antics, while still delivering a action-packed story. It feels like you're reading a crazy road trip!
