The Manga Review: Who Do You Read?

A few months ago, I put out a call on Twitter asking other manga lovers for podcast recommendations. I was inundated with so many terrific suggestions that I created a podcast directory at The Manga Critic. Now I’m turning to the internet to ask about your reading habits–specifically, which websites do you visit for manga reviews? Do you have a favorite manga critic (or critics)? Do you write about manga? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, I’d like to hear from you so! Feel free to post a comment here or reach out to me via Twitter (@manga_critic).

REVIEWS

Over at The Wonder of Anime, Lisa De La Cruz reviews Until I Love Myself: The Journey of a Non-Binary Manga Artist. “Overall, Until I Love Myself is a gut-wrenching read,” she notes. “I don’t think I’ve ever read something that shook me as much as this did.”
