Hima-Ten! Vol. 1 is a rather predictable debut that comes off bland with no surprises

Posted on by

Tenichi Iemori lives for domestic work. He cooks and cleans for his entire family, all while attending high school and working part-time as a house cleaner. But when Himari Yoshino—model, mogul, and makeup company president—starts attending his school, Iemori’s whirlwind of a life gets even more hectic as he’s drawn into Himari’s glitzy orbit.

On Himari’s first day of school, Iemori is tasked with showing her around and keeping her fans in check. But Himari has plans of her own—she wants to soak up all the attention! After a wild day at school, Iemori takes on a new cleaning job at a luxury apartment. He’s shocked to find it so dirty, but he’s even more shocked when he finds out who lives there!

Shinobi Undercover Vol. 1 is a cute concept we’ve seen before in manga

Posted on by

A young ninja battles the ultimate opponent—his own awkwardness!

Yodaka’s worst nightmare comes true when his job as a Public Safety ninja forces him to go to high school and even worse…talk to people! When it comes to combat, his skills are off the charts. When it comes to social interaction, he completely falls apart. But things take an unexpected turn when he discovers that talking to Aoi Mukai, the girl he’s assigned to guard, is surprisingly easy.

The first day of school is tough for most, but when you’re an awkward ninja tasked with secretly guarding a total klutz by the name of Aoi, it’s absolutely daunting! But as Yodaka soon discovers, his charge is not just a danger to herself—there are also rogue ninja assassins in the school targeting her. And it’s his and the other undercover shinobi’s job to save her life without blowing their covers!

Cocoon is a story of war, trauma, and doing what you need to survive

Posted on by

A heart-wrenching chronicle of loss and resilience based on the true story of the Himeyuri corps of student nurses in WWII.

San and her best friend Mayu attend a boarding school for girls on Japan’s Southern Island, but their studies are interrupted when they and the other students are recruited to help the war effort as assistant nurses. Sent to the front lines, the girls must deal with more than just the threat of enemy bombs overhead. Stuck working in the horrifying caves of a field hospital, San wishes she could wrap herself and her friends in a cocoon of protection. But invisible threads of affection are no match for the carnage that surrounds them, and more students perish day by day. Worn down by starvation and loss, what will San and her remaining friends do when they are told to find their way home through the fields of war?
