Still super charming.

Sakura continues to collect these cards but a new character is introduced named Syaoran Li. They are very jealous of Sakura's having the ability to capture cards. Wants to prove he's a much better warrior. I really enjoyed that, the overall "Anyone, no matter the gender, can love another" makes the series wholesome and cute.

I will say not a fan of the student who likes the teacher, which isn't all that weird. But the fact the teacher gives her a promise ring once she gets older? That's creepy.

Outside of that though this series is pretty adorable with some really great character designs, fights, and good comedy spread out. I like sitting back and enjoying this on the weekend.

Similar to Jed's Avengers run it's never bad, has some great MOMENTS but overall kind of misses the mark on what makes his work so good.

I will admit I like Juggernaunt here, Magik, and Cyclops but Beast is a total bore, and I didn't really understand or care why magneto was there and what he was doing. The villains are okay at best, and nothing to write home about. I think the main issue is for every epic moment, we have alot of just "Okay" moments that don't hit the highs I was hoping.

So I like it enough but honestly Ultimate X-Men is the best X-Men title currently out.

This is a very generous 3. This isn't great writing, the plot is dumb, and the characters seem out of wack half of it.

But the first half is actually really fun and some exciting moments to be had. The second half struggles to maintain the fun and has way to much convoluted villains just doing stupid ass shit.

A 2.5 out of 5.

A cute story but nothing amazing yet.

Basically Subaru is this good looking teen model and his neighbor, Chiaki, has always liked him. But also she has to take care of him half the time including waking him up since Subaru can be real lazy. This is typical high school love story. I will say the model angle makes for some interesting and fun times but overall I'm not fully invested in any of the characters yet. A 3 out of 5.

Basically hulk dealing with his inner demons in a dream like story. Some cool parts, I enjoyed Banner having the Hulk feeling of "Smash everyone" even in his dreams in HS. All that builds to who banner is. I will say though the confusing plot device, Ross, and wolverine and kang being there felt all weirdly done. A 3 out of 5.

Okay this one got me in the feels. I guess watching a man so close to the edge, looking for his lost little kitty, and everyone in his life helping him just was too much for me to handle. I really enjoy a lot of this story and while the cat's inner thoughts can be borderline annoying at points this is still a great story of a man in his late life enjoying life once more. A 3.5 I'll bump to a 4.

Some really cool fights, especially the opening and closing one. The middle had some good comedy bits. I will say though felt a bit disjointed and wondering where it would go till the very last few pages, then things started to heat up with the big bad finally showing their faces.

This mage arc exam isn't my favorite. I feel like the overly explaining things during the arc can be a bit tiresome. It doesn't feel as natural as the rest of the manga. Luckily when it's not doing that, it's really good with some hilarious parts of Frieren keep getting stuck in the Mimics. Overall this arc was the weakest for me so far.

The fact this series continues to hit all the right marks for me. Excellent lead, good side cast, remarkable shots including one where they admit to each other their feelings, it's just so perfect the way this one gives me a smile the whole time. Great stuff.

The body horror is still good, and parts with Bruce dealing with Hulk within is good stuff. But man, the plot feels like it's dragging to bring back this girl who's locked away. I think we can have a better sense of a villain too by this point.
