Demon Slayer, Vol. 20
📚 Book Review: Demon Slayer, Vol. 20📖 Author(s): Koyoharu Gotouge 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Apesar da importância deste volume para o desenrolar da série, não fiquei completamente conquistado. Há demasiada acção, quase sem momentos de pausa, e uma ausência notória das personagens principais. Não me interpretem mal — continua a ser uma boa leitura. Mas tendo em conta o nível a que esta série nos habituou, esperava mais. Até a morte de uma personagem bastante relevante acaba por perder impacto, tratada de forma quase passageira. Se o leitor não estiver particularmente atento, o momento pode até passar despercebido — o…

Battle Royale – Vol. 5
📚 Book Review: Battle Royale – Vol. 5📖 Author(s): Koushun Takami, Masayuki Taguchi 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Último volume desta fantástica série — um livro que devorei por completo em apenas algumas horas. Era uma das séries que mais ansiava por ler e não desiludiu, pelo contrário: superou largamente as minhas expectativas. Baseada num romance literário que já deu origem a pelo menos duas adaptações cinematográficas japonesas, trata-se, sem dúvida, de uma obra de culto. Masayuki Taguchi é um mestre a transmitir ao leitor a tensão das cenas mais intensas. Ainda assim, confesso que, mesmo sendo fã desse estilo, houve…

📚 Book Review: Saint Seiya: Os Cavaleiros do Zodíaco – Final Edition, Volume 02📖 Author(s): Masami Kurumada 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Apesar de “Os Cavaleiros do Zodíaco” ter sido uma das minhas séries favoritas na adolescência, lembro-me muito pouco da sequência dos acontecimentos — apenas de algumas cenas soltas e vagas. Por isso, está a ser um verdadeiro prazer redescobrir a história à medida que leio.
