 This collection has loads of comics to please all Peanuts fans. I notice this volume really focuses on sports related comics so all your fun baseball and football comics are in this one.

This was the finale of this darkish tale. Overall, it was okay. There was an overall eerieness to it but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

It doesn’t focus as much on romance as it does on child care and the MC feeling like an old fart that desperately wants kids and eh, that wasn’t quite for me there. But I liked the characters and the Lord family. It felt pretty slow at times, we have a nanny nannying and all, but it had some charming moments.

Wow, what a way to conclude Kick-Ass' story and legacy. The incredibly iconic art, the amazing characters and story, the violence, the feels, and that ending! Very sad that Dave's story ends here, but very excited to see the next Kick-Ass!

This series is just what the world needs, really. It's still the most wholesome manga I've ever read, about a hardcore gamer that learns how to navigate life with two adorable, silly cats. This volume included crazy things such as baths! Cat beds! And play time!!

I enjoyed volume 1.. but I really, really wanted to DNF volume 2. I didn't like the art style as much, and I just really didn't enjoy the stories this time around. I'm not sure I'd continue with this series.

It took me a little bit to get invested in this series, but by the end of book one and going into book two, I was invested, and it has only gotten better and better since. Book three has a whole slew of new twists and turns and goddamn I love Ampersand!

Book 2 takes you for a rollercoaster ride after Book 1. So much is revealed and so much happens that I wish it had a little more breathing room. The artwork is so stunning and I feel like it's just so much stronger than the writing.

I love Fairy Tail and the manga has been such a fun read. This volume concludes the exciting Deliora storyline, and I'm excited for Gajeel and Juvia to join the fun in the next arc.

This is aimed at the younger reader and it's super cute! The art style has this sketchy, looser vibe and it's charming. I wasn't so invested in the story, but we have diverse characters (with disabilities!!), a mini Godzilla, and fun monster surprises.
