Anime review: DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR
After watching Tamon’s B-Side I decided to fit in one last series before my Crunchyroll Ani-May promotion expired. I saw a spoilery clip of a devastating scene from Blood Moon on Threads that made me curious about this show, so I decided to give it a watch, going in totally blind except for that little clip. There’s a whole universe around Blood Moon. First of all, it’s part of the K-POP group…
Thoughts on "I Spent $44,000 Launching My Book. Three of those dollars worked."
Image from depositphotos.

Three of those dollars worked.“ Author of UNSINGLE, Amy Chan writes a pretty blunt article with astounding numbers and goes through what worked, what didn’t and what her…

How does a book get five stars?
Image from depositphotos. I know you’re not supposed to read your reviews, but I do anyway, just like how you’re not supposed to drive with only one hand on the wheel or trick or treat after age seventeen. We’re not supposed to do it; we do it anyway. I was looking at my Goodreads for The Name and the Key and noticed a sizeable drop in the score–someone gave me a 2-star review who also marked…

I had written previously that the TOKYPOP reviews were going to dwindle on this blog because the PR firm I work with was no longer supplying galleys from the publisher. TOKYOPOP reviews (heck, almost all manga reviews) are the bread and butter…

International Yaoi Day 2026
It’s 8/01! And according to Crunchyroll, n Japanese, a short reading of “801” can be reading 8 as “ya,” 0 as a western influenced “o” and 1 as “i.” So, the “yaoi” numeric sequence has become otaku shorthand for the genre of male romance media and, following that logic, in countries that list the date month-day, August 1st is yaoi day! When I lived in Japan, people didn’t really say “yaoi”…
