Shigahime, Vol .1
📚 Book Review: Shigahime, Vol .1📖 Author(s): Hirohisa Satō 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Um manga de terror envolvente, com alguns elementos eróticos. O nosso protagonista envolve-se acidentalmente com uma vampira que deseja transformá-lo no seu servo. A partir desse momento, a sua vida toma um novo rumo, e a história explora de que forma esse laço inesperado o afeta e como ele lida com a sua nova (não) vida. Como sempre, a Darkside Books apresenta uma edição lindíssima. Esta série parece ter apenas cinco volumes, e só espero que receba um tratamento mais completo do que DeathDisco, que ficou suspensa…

Night of the Living Cat, Volume 1
📚 Book Review: Night of the Living Cat, Volume 1📖 Author(s): Hawkman, Mecha-Roots 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 I had my eye on this manga for quite some time — for obvious reasons. Horror and cats: two of my passions. The reading starts off promising, with large panels showcasing the fantastic art of the illustrator Mecha-Roots. In fact, throughout the entire work, the artwork is, without a doubt, its strongest point. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the story. Despite starting from an interesting concept, the execution falls short. The narrative feels weak, with dialogues that often sound forced or…

It’s also here that the character Mr. Satan makes his first appearance—a true source of laughter. A frantic and thrilling read from start to finish. — 🇵🇹 O Torneio organizado por Cell está lançado, e Son Goku é o primeiro a enfrentá-lo.…

Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 16 – The Room of Spirit and Time
📚 Book Review: Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 16 – The Room of Spirit and Time📖 Author(s): Akira Toriyama 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 Cell has already absorbed one of the Androids, becoming more powerful than them. Vegeta and Trunks return immensely strengthened after spending a year training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, even surpassing Cell himself. However, in his boundless arrogance, Vegeta allows the enemy to complete his final transformation, making him now far stronger than Vegeta. Meanwhile, Son Goku and Son Gohan also begin their training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. — 🇵🇹 Cell já conseguiu absorver um dos Androids,…

Search and Destroy – Vol. 2
📚 Book Review: Search and Destroy – Vol. 2📖 Author(s): Atsushi Kaneko, Osamu Tezuka 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Tudo aquilo de que gostei no primeiro volume mantém-se aqui — sem tirar nem pôr. A protagonista prossegue a sua vingança. É curioso observar que, à medida que vai recuperando as partes de si que lhe tinham sido roubadas, se torna mais humana… mas também menos letal. As suas componentes humanas não possuem a mesma eficácia das mecânicas, o que introduz uma nova camada de dificuldade precisamente quando os seus objectivos começam a ser alcançados. Um manga distópico bastante interessante, que se…

Son Goku is still recovering from his illness, and it seems none of his friends are strong enough to face this new threat. However, these Androids don’t seem to be as dangerous as Trunks had warned. Meanwhile, a new discovery is made, leaving a mystery hanging in the air, to be unraveled in the upcoming volumes. — 🇵🇹 Os temidos Androides estão agora ativos e à solta,…

Astra Lost in Space, Vol. 3
📚 Book Review: Astra Lost in Space, Vol. 3📖 Author(s): Kenta Shinohara 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Apesar de estar a gostar desta série, nunca a considerei uma obra fabulosa ou de topo — e está tudo bem com isso. Nem todas as histórias têm de ser extraordinárias; por vezes, uma boa história basta. Por isso, nunca imaginei que fosse dar cinco estrelas a um volume desta série, mas este, em particular, superou todas as minhas expectativas. Foi um verdadeiro prazer de ler. Sem dúvida, é o melhor volume até agora. Aqui aprofundamos o conhecimento sobre certas personagens e começamos a…

Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 13 – The Red Ribbon Androids
📚 Book Review: Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 13 – The Red Ribbon Androids📖 Author(s): Akira Toriyama 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 The Androids have arrived, ready to destroy the planet — but our heroes are prepared to face them. All except Son Goku. Just as Trunks had warned, his heart disease strikes, forcing him out of the battle early. Fortunately, Vegeta — now fighting alongside the others, though still very much an anti-hero — has been training relentlessly. He reveals his own transformation into a Super Saiyan and effortlessly overpowers the two Androids. But then Trunks returns… and delivers a shocking…

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…

📚 Book Review: Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 12 – Enter Trunks📖 Author(s): Akira Toriyama 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 Freezer has been defeated by Son Goku, but as usual, Goku showed him mercy in the end, allowing him to escape—badly wounded. Now, Freezer is back, determined to conquer Earth. But just as chaos is about to unfold, a mysterious warrior appears and defeats both Freezer and his father in a matter of seconds. This unknown fighter then warns Goku and his friends: in three years, a new and powerful threat will emerge—and they must be ready for it. — 🇵🇹 Freezer…

O Meu Casamento Feliz – Vol. 4
📚 Book Review: O Meu Casamento Feliz – Vol. 4📖 Author(s): Rito Kohsaka, Akumi Agitogi, Tsukiho Tsukioka 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Este quarto volume começou de forma algo desinteressante para mim. Senti que estávamos a entrar em terreno repetitivo, com mais uma sequência das crises de auto-estima da nossa protagonista. Apesar de ser uma personagem adorável, há momentos em que essa fragilidade constante começa a cansar, sobretudo se a narrativa não evoluir. Felizmente, a parte final trouxe um novo fôlego à história, com revelações intrigantes sobre o passado da Miyo e a sua ligação a famílias poderosas até agora desconhecidas,…

Dragon Ball Full Color – Freeza Arc, Vol. 5
📚 Book Review: Dragon Ball Full Color – Freeza Arc, Vol. 5📖 Author(s): Akira Toriyama 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 Our heroes give everything they have to defeat Freeza, but none of their efforts seem to work. Everything changes when, in a moment of pure rage after the death of one of his companions, Son Goku transforms — for the first time — into a Super Saiyan. From that moment on, Goku’s power clearly surpasses Freeza’s, and it becomes only a matter of time before the battle comes to an end. In the end, our friends return to Earth together with…

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…
