Arguably the most anticipated collaboration of the year for Granblue Fantasy (from here on shortened to GBF), Code Geass joins the ranks of other series such as Cardcaptor Sakura, Persona 5, and Princess Connect (another Cygames title) in the hall of collab fame. Disclaimer: I have not seen much of Code Geass besides the very last episode and I personally don’t plan on watching it because I’m not a fan of mecha anime or the whole noodle people character design. I do love GBF though and think that this collab will be really good for the game. The Story…

Another double feature seeing as I am still behind, it’d be shocking to review only one chapter a week at this point. Let’s get into the meat of this and see what these manga have to offer us! Black Clover 192&193: 7.5/10 Whenever Black Clover tries to do character development or add backstory, it doesn’t feel like it’s really enough or fleshed out enough to have a lot of impact. Don’t get me wrong though, I thought it was really sweet how Meleo and Fuegoleon both think so highly of each other but the scene from their childhood had very…

Weekly Shonen Hop #3 will feature two chapters for every series since I somehow became incredibly far behind and I feel bad writing reviews on such old chapters. I’ve decided to drop Seven Deadly Sins from Weekly Shonen Hop because I found it hard to review it when it felt like nothing was happening. Sorry to all of the fans of the series, by no means do I think it’s bad I just don’t feel strongly enough to say anything. For the remaining series, as always I’ll be judging based on enjoyability, comparison to the other weeklies, and progression through…

Oh wow, it has been a hot minute since the last issue of Weekly Shonen Hop, the lack of chapters for a week really threw me off but we’re finally back with another edition! As always, we’ll be judging based on enjoyability, comparison to the other weeklies, and progression through the story arc. Black Clover 189: 7/10 With Gauche returning to normal, the Black Bulls are finally reunited and we can enjoy this feel-good moment before the next big battle. The author wants us to empathize with the elves a little when they show how corrupt the humans of the…

Welcome to the first edition of Weekly Shonen Hop, a weekly review focused on shonen series, manga and otherwise. Series will come and go depending on how strongly I feel about each one and what’s currently happening within the story. The occasional monthly might make an appearance as they get released. My criteria for rating will be how enjoyable the chapter was and how it compares to the other series of the week as well as previous chapters in the current arc. Black Clover 188: 6/10  I feel like Black Clover is the spiritual successor of Bleach, Naruto, and Fairy…
