A Good Light Novel With a Bad Title

Light novels are infamous for their “clickbait” titles, but honestly, any general book lover can probably tell you about a title that was single-handedly responsible for reeling them in, for better or worse. The other day, I read a book called Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone for reasons I’m sure you can understand. It’s also hard to argue that the provocative title of Jennette McCurdy’s…

The Fascinating and Problematic Setting of The Combat Baker and Automaton Waitress

I mentioned in my The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done! blog post that I liked Bookwalker Global other exclusive light novel release: The Combat Baker and Automaton Waitress. Now that I’ve finally gotten around to reading volume 2, I figure I should write a post explaining why I like it. Put simply, I’m a fan of the setting of The Combat Baker. It is a postwar story about a former soldier who takes on a…

February 2018 Update: Time For a Change

February 2018 Update: Time For a Change

Moving house is a pain in the butt. This is true no matter which country you’re in. This month, I moved house to west Tokyo. I really like where I’m living now because I’m within cycling distance of most of the anime studios in Tokyo. But moving to a new house was actually way more stressful for me than moving to Japan in the first place, mainly because it was my first time going through a…

The Ryuo's Work is Never Done! Needs Content Warnings

The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done! Needs Content Warnings

The best thing about The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done! is the afterword, where the author reveals just how much research he did to write a shogi-themed light novel. Usually, light novel authors use the afterword to thank the book’s illustrator, editor and the readers (in that order), but Shirow Shiratori goes out of his way to thank dozens of people involved in the professional Shogi world. He even…

Ryuuou no Oshigoto! [Review]

Shogi has always been interesting to me and so be able to see what it exactly entails was very eye-opening! Ryuuou no Oshigoto explores the world of shogi in a fun and interesting way. Check out my thoughts here!

“A teenage boy named Yaichi Kuzuryū happens to be the strongest shogi player in history, holding the top title of “Ryuuou” (Dragon King). One fateful day, shogi-loving elementary student, Ai Hinatsuru, appears before him claiming that he promised to be her master.” Ryuuou no Oshigoto! (manga)
