The Fable – Vol. 03
📚 Book Review: The Fable – Vol. 03📖 Author(s): Katsuhisa Minami 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Já o disse antes e volto a dizê-lo: embora esta série tenha menos acção do que eu inicialmente esperava, o argumento é tão sólido que isso acaba por não ser um problema. Se são fãs de John Wick, então esta manga é para vocês! Akira Satou é um assassino profissional de elite que tenta levar uma vida normal. No entanto, acontecimentos que envolvem pessoas próximas vão forçá-lo a regressar à acção. Ainda assim, Akira esforça-se por resolver os conflitos sem recorrer à violência letal. É,…

Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 9
📚 Book Review: Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 9📖 Author(s): Ryo Minenami 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 While reading this volume, I realized how dark the main characters in this story have become. Seeing where they started and where they are now really shows how life — and certain events — can change us. Even the most light-hearted soul can turn somber under the weight of experience. I have to admit, the path these characters are taking is starting to get to me. It’s painful, unsettling… but deeply human. I’m afraid not all of them will make it to the end of this…

Flash Point
📚 Book Review: Flash Point📖 Author(s): Imai Arata 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Aqui acompanhamos Mashiro, uma jovem que, em vez de ir à escola, prefere passar os dias em casa do cunhado a jogar videojogos ou a gravar vídeos parvos para o Instagram — vídeos esses que acabam por ter bastante sucesso e lhe trazem alguma notoriedade. Confesso que, tendo em conta a sinopse e o potencial das teorias da conspiração presentes no enredo, esperava uma narrativa mais densa e desenvolvida. Na prática, esta é uma obra bastante simples do ponto de vista narrativo. Apresenta um humor algo parvo, por…

Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 8
📚 Book Review: Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 8📖 Author(s): Ryo Minenami 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 Ever since I read all of Shūzō Oshimi’s work available in the West, I’ve been searching for authors with a similar style — and I must say, Ryo Minenami is by far the closest I’ve found. The frequent comparisons between this work and “Blood on the Tracks” are understandable, especially regarding the relationship between Reiji and his mother. However, unlike Oshimi’s story, the web of human relationships here is much more complex, with each one carrying its own distinct characteristics. In this volume, the author continues…

📚 Book Review: Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 7📖 Author(s): Ryo Minenami 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 After the devastating storm that was the previous volume, Reiji and his mother are now in the hospital, recovering from the recent events. During his convalescence, Reiji is visited by several people, including Gen — his childhood friend who, over time, became his bully. In this reunion, Gen reveals the reasons behind his behaviour and shows that, despite everything, he still cares deeply for Reiji.

Dorohedoro, Vol. 16
📚 Book Review: Dorohedoro, Vol. 16📖 Author(s): Q. Hayashida 💭 My Thoughts: 🇵🇹 Acho que o meu principal problema com Dorohedoro é o facto de a história, muitas vezes, se arrastar sem grande justificação. Ainda assim, este volume inclui alguns momentos importantes para a narrativa principal — especialmente a cena em que a Nikaido volta atrás no tempo até ao momento antes de encontrar o corpo do Caiman. É uma revelação significativa que lança nova luz sobre o mistério. No entanto, o volume também tem capítulos bastante aborrecidos. Dois deles focam-se inteiramente em explicar como certos pratos são confecionados, e…

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”. Here, we travel back into Kosaku Esemori’s past, witnessing how he arrived in the village and how he first met Reiji’s mother. 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. The masks come off — if there was still any doubt — and it becomes clear just how much manipulation Reiji is subjected to from…

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…

Dragon Ball Full Color – Saiyan Arc, Vol. 3
📚 Book Review: Dragon Ball Full Color – Saiyan Arc, Vol. 3📖 Author(s): Akira Toriyama 💭 My Thoughts: 🇬🇧 What an incredible battle between Vegeta, Son Goku, Krillin, and Son Gohan! 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! —…

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…
