Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 6
📚 Book Review: Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 6📖 Author(s): Ryo Minenami 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 This volume dives headfirst into a narrative style reminiscent of “Blood on the Tracks”.

Back in the present, the tensions surrounding Reiji are reaching a boiling point, with the web of intrigue between the various characters taking center stage.

Dorohedoro, Vol. 15
📚 Book Review: Dorohedoro, Vol. 15📖 Author(s): Q. Hayashida 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 O chefe dos Cross Eyes passa por uma transformação bizarra, e sinceramente, não faço ideia de para onde isto está a ir. A ligação entre o Caiman, o Aikawa e o Risu parece estar a encaminhar-se para uma conclusão — mas isto é Dorohedoro, por isso nunca se sabe. Há imensas cenas brutais neste volume, e no geral, pareceu-me especialmente intenso. Dorohedoro pode ser uma história difícil de seguir sem ir procurar explicações na internet depois de certos capítulos — e acho que isso é um verdadeiro…

It took the combined strength of Earth’s mightiest heroes to finally bring the Saiyan prince to a halt. I had completely forgotten how it ended, but what a phenomenal conclusion to such an intense fight. Now, with their fallen comrades gone and the Dragon Balls on Earth no longer an option, our heroes must seek another way. And so begins the journey to Namek. What an awesome series! —…

This leads to conflicts between them, which inevitably end up hurting Reiji. At the same time, new sides of these characters are revealed — and many of them are surprisingly dark. An absolutely delightful series to read. — 🇵🇹 As coisas começam…

Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 4
📚 Book Review: Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 4📖 Author(s): Ryo Minenami 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 This series continues to be absolutely fantastic. It’s fascinating to follow Reiji’s dilemmas and see the impact his decisions have on the lives of those around him. It’s also curious how someone with such a seemingly miserable life can still attract so many other characters — but that’s exactly what makes this story so compelling. After all, there’s no hunger that doesn’t turn into abundance… and no abundance that doesn’t end in waste. — 🇵🇹 Esta série continua absolutamente fantástica. É fascinante acompanhar os dilemas de…

Dorohedoro, Vol. 13
📚 Book Review: Dorohedoro, Vol. 13📖 Author(s): Q. Hayashida 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Depois do caos dos volumes anteriores, este parece mais um momento de acerto de contas — uma pausa para refletir sobre as consequências. Os Olhos Cruzados tomaram o controlo da mansão do En, assinalando uma mudança clara no equilíbrio de poder. Dorohedoro pode ser uma verdadeira viagem mental e, para ser sincero, no final deste volume tive mesmo de pesquisar alguns acontecimentos para compreender melhor o que tinha lido. O volume termina com um momento verdadeiramente inesperado. — 🇬🇧 After the chaos of the previous volumes, this…

Saint Seiya: Os Cavaleiros do Zodíaco – Final Edition, Volume 02
📚 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. Neste ponto, o Torneio Galáctico pela armadura de ouro é interrompido por uma nova ameaça, que revela também um novo inimigo. Andrómeda é, de longe, o cavaleiro mais fixe. Série excelente! — 🇬🇧 Although…

Dragon Ball Full Color – Saiyan Arc, Vol. 1
📚 Book Review: Dragon Ball Full Color – Saiyan Arc, Vol. 1📖 Author(s): Akira Toriyama 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 This volume includes all of Volume 1 and roughly half of Volume 2 from the original series in tankōbon format. The new full-color edition is visually stunning, featuring vibrant colours reminiscent of the palette used in the anime. In my opinion, this is the ultimate edition of this incredible series. It’s a real shame that Viz Media never released the entire collection in this format for Western audiences. — 🇵🇹 Este volume inclui todo o Volume 1 e cerca de metade…

Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 3
📚 Book Review: Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 3📖 Author(s): Ryo Minenami 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 I’m completely obsessed with this series, and I know I’ll devour every volume as soon as I get my hands on them. So far, the story has been very focused on Reiji, but in this volume, his friend Chako takes on a more prominent role, adding depth and complexity to the power dynamics between the characters. It’s been fascinating to watch the events unfold and see how each character is affected — exposing their vulnerabilities, desires, and contradictions. This series is quickly earning a place among…

Dorohedoro, Vol. 12
📚 Book Review: Dorohedoro, Vol. 12📖 Author(s): Q. Hayashida 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 No passado, critiquei bastante o En como vilão, mas a verdade é que a sua ausência teve um impacto significativo na narrativa. Ele era aquela ameaça constante, uma sombra que pairava sobre todas as personagens — e, com o seu desaparecimento, essa tensão desvaneceu. Por outro lado, a personagem tornou-se mais interessante, já que deixou de ser essa figura invencível e intocável que aparentava ser. A série está finalmente a entrar numa fase muito forte, em que muita coisa está a acontecer e a mudar. O confronto…

Sa Wala – Tudo por Nada
📚 Book Review: Sa Wala – Tudo por Nada📖 Author(s): Renren Galeno 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Logo desde o início, percebe-se que estamos perante um autor que compreende a importância do tempo na construção da narrativa. As primeiras páginas são habilmente usadas para criar uma atmosfera de tensão e desconforto, sem recorrer a uma única palavra. Renren Galeno, autor filipino, oferece-nos uma história intensa de horror e suspense, onde um galo — de origens misteriosas — se revela um assassino nato, brutal e implacável. Encontrado por um homem que vê nele uma oportunidade, o animal é usado nas tradicionais lutas…

📚 Book Review: Dragon Ball, Vol. 16 – Goku vs. Piccolo📖 Author(s): Akira Toriyama 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 This final battle between Goku and Piccolo was nothing short of epic! With each tournament, Son Goku grows stronger—a recurring theme throughout his journey. As his opponents become more powerful, he rises to the challenge and surpasses his own limits. It’s a brilliant conclusion to a phenomenal series. A true classic. Akira Toriyama is undeniably a legend, and his work will live on in history as one of the greatest manga ever created. — 🇵🇹 Esta batalha final entre o Goku e…

Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 2
📚 Book Review: Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 2📖 Author(s): Ryo Minenami 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 I couldn’t resist and jumped straight into the continuation of this series shortly after finishing the first volume. I’m completely hooked. This work feels like it’s somewhere between “Goodnight Punpun” and “The Flowers of Evil”. It delves, in a raw and sensitive way, into themes like the search for identity and the struggle to find one’s place in a hostile society — where even family doesn’t always offer a safe haven. Reiji hates the life he’s living, but he’s resigned to it. Between taking care of…

By the end of this volume, the grand final begins: Son Goku versus Piccolo — their first major showdown. Only one volume left until the conclusion of this iconic series. — 🇵🇹 O Torneio dos Mais Fortes debaixo do Céu continua a decorrer, com algumas surpresas a serem reveladas ao longo do caminho.

Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 1
📚 Book Review: Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 1📖 Author(s): Ryo Minenami 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 I had come across this manga several times before, and each time I thought it wasn’t for me. But one day I decided to read the synopsis — and I was instantly hooked. Now, after devouring the first volume, I’m left speechless. It’s exactly the kind of mature reading I enjoy, and I couldn’t be happier for giving this series a chance. I read it all in one sitting. Now, all I want is to keep reading the next volumes as soon as possible. — 🇵🇹…

Dorohedoro, Vol. 10
📚 Book Review: Dorohedoro, Vol. 10📖 Author(s): Q. Hayashida 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Pela primeira vez desde que comecei a ler esta série, senti mesmo vontade de pegar logo no volume seguinte. Ainda assim, continuo sem estar totalmente convencido. A narrativa mantém-se algo linear, apesar dos numerosos saltos temporais e mudanças de cenário — que, por vezes, mais confundem do que enriquecem a história. Não sou de odiar vilões, mas o En é, sem dúvida, uma das poucas exceções. Há algo nele que me repulsa — não consigo sentir qualquer simpatia pela personagem. Suspeito que o dia em que ele…

Dragon Ball, Vol. 14 – Heaven and Earth
📚 Book Review: Dragon Ball, Vol. 14 – Heaven and Earth📖 Author(s): Akira Toriyama 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 Another spectacular volume of Dragon Ball! At this point in the story, we witness the conclusion of the epic battle against Demon King Piccolo. After the fight, Son Goku must find a way to bring back the friends he lost during the battle — which leads him on a new quest: to restore the dragon Shenron, who had been destroyed by Piccolo. The volume ends with the introduction of a new Tenkaichi Budokai (World Martial Arts Tournament), bringing new foes and characters…
