My Favorite VTuber is Scary IRL Vol. 2 stands out when it focuses on the characters

Posted on by Leave a comment

An introverted delivery boy befriends a shy but intimidating shut-in who happens to be his favorite VTuber IRL!

It turns out the scary lady who happens to be the delivery boy’s favorite VTuber is just a painfully shy shut-in who wants to make a friend. Can he stop being awkward long enough to reciprocate? He manages to get her out of her apartment to do some shopping IRL, but when a convenience store cashier calls her his girlfriend, things get weird. When he tries to make amends, he finds another Eatza person at her door. Wasn’t he the only one in town? Does this mean she doesn’t want to see him anymore?

The Bugle Call: Song of War Vol. 1 is the start of a fantasy series that stands out from the pack

Posted on by

In Arboral Year 1294, the world is dominated by nine massive towers known as the Spires—remnants of an advanced civilization, they are filled with lost secrets and powerful knowledge that nations struggle to possess. Luca is a bugler in a mercenary company who wants nothing more than to leave the battlefield behind and become a true musician, a maestro. But marked as one of the enigmatic Branch-hexed, and gifted with the strange ability to see the sound of his instrument, Luca finds himself drawn reluctantly into a war of epic proportions!

Left for dead after a battle, Luca is saved by the mysterious Pontiff and learns he is not the only person with unusual powers. The Pontiff has formed a special team of Branch-hexed individuals he plans to use to help him defeat rival empires—and Luca learns that his powers, rather than being an escape from the battlefield, now force him to be a muse of massacre.

So What’s Wrong With Getting Reborn as a Goblin Vol. 7 sets up what’s to come

Posted on by

Akira has come a long way: from Japanese salaryman to goblin mayor to goblin baron! But with nobility comes conflict, and Akira’s first taste of war is bitter—his foe, Count Gignas, has dispatched an army of hypnotized goblins against their brethren in Akira’s village. All Akira’s skills are of no avail, and he can only watch as the helpless goblins die in droves. But as his motto—“I must not repeat my mistakes”—burns in his mind, a new skill bubbles up from within…
