T 4 Rent-A-Girlfriend

(1)

‘‘This volume dispenses with ecchi almost completely, and yet puts Kazuya in even more embarrassing situations than before. Ruka, the highly energetic girl from the previous volume that revealed she’s a rental girlfriend too, is now hunting Kazuya. What for? And why did she burst in tears...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 3 Rent-A-Girlfriend

(1)

‘‘So - let’s say you are on a boat, and you see a girl falling overboard, and you jump headfirst in the waves and save her life. Is that love? Or duty? That’s just one of Kazuya’s dilemmas during this volume. But he’s not the only one doubting - Chizuru, the rental girlfriend, seems to be...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 2 Rent-A-Girlfriend

(2)

‘‘Well, well, looks like there's a real man underneath that "lame undecided Kazuya'' mask. This volume starts with a character-defining clash between Kazuya and his ex-girlfriend - and moves on at a blistering pace on a rollercoaster of emotions. It's a Mami (ex-girlfriend) vs Chizuru...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 Rent-A-Girlfriend

(3)

‘‘Kazuya is a 20 years old slacker, err, college student that just got dumped by his girlfriend Mami after a single month of dating (for embarrassing reasons you’ll learn about at the end of this volume). Technically still a virgin, his loneliness pushes him to rent a girlfriend - meeting...‘‘ Lire la suite

Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins Library Edition: Series I & II Collection

(1)

‘‘320 pages of a Dungeons & Dragons stand-up comedy, drawn in a clear, almost-manga style by Olivia Samson and written by Matthew Colville (game designer, tabletop and roleplaying nerd) and Jody Houser (who wrote for Amazing Spider-Man, Star Wars and more), It's just as simple as that....‘‘ Lire la suite

Le baron perché

(3)

‘‘Un garçon est forcé de manger des escargots qu’il trouve répugnants et, rebelle, décide de se jeter par la fenêtre… dans l’arbre juste à côté. Il ne mettra plus jamais les pieds sur la terre, vivant dans les arbres. Oui, c’est le roman classique de Italo Calvino mis en BD par Claire...‘‘ Lire la suite

Sur un air de Fado

(71)

‘‘Avant de lire “Sur un air de Fado” je ne savais rien d’autre sur Salazar qu’il était l'équivalent portugais de Franco - un dictateur à main de fer, tenant son pays loin de la guerre mais impitoyable envers ses adversaires politiques. Maintenant, je sais un peu plus - notamment, qu’il est...‘‘ Lire la suite

Flower of a new World

(4)

‘‘A rare story where the indigenous tribe wins against the conquistadors - but do they, really? It starts with a paradisiac vista - pristine water, majestic forest, beautiful flowers - but the heaven turns to hell in an instant as the Mapuche tribe attacks, killing the travelling Spaniards...‘‘ Lire la suite

The Quest for the Time Bird - The Complete Collection (4 Volumes)

(1)

‘‘This is unanimously considered a reference work in heroic fantasy comics - French comics, that is. And I have to concede that for 1983, when the first tome was published, this must've been quite a shock. But reading this for the first time in 2021 was a difficult experience. Régis Loisel...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 The Spire

(2)

‘‘A fantasy / sci-fi / post-apocalyptic whodunit set up in a weird (and sometimes wonderful) world filled to the brim with alien races. I almost didn't finish this because Spurrier (X-Force, Star Wars, Six-Star Gorilla) has the annoying tendency to start a journey, abandon it, start another...‘‘ Lire la suite

Dark Stories

(5)

‘‘Eighteen very dark stories that'll make you laugh and shiver at the same time. Like a twisted mirror, Alfonso Font's beautifully drawn stories show us - each of us - at our worst, depicting civilization as just a mask that hides the beast inside us. These cruel fables will remain with you...‘‘ Lire la suite

Foligatto

(2)

‘‘A sad, funny, disgusting, graceful, poetic, absurd, grotesque story whose strength lies in the one of a kind atmosphere. Nicolas de Crécy's art and Alexis Tjoyas's words bring to life a city where nothing happens (appropriately named Eccenihilo = "There Is Nothing" in Latin), whose...‘‘ Lire la suite
