T 7 Police in a Pod

(1)

‘‘This volume’s gags rely a lot on specific Japanese culture elements that at first might seem hard to understand (the seniorship system, mostly) but I had fun googling stuff and understanding the jokes. The final three chapters are the funniest, I think. Part 54 - No interrogation is...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 0 Degas and Cassatt

(1)

‘‘"He was always alone. Chauvinist, anti-Dreyfusard, anti-Semite, insufferable! And his obsession with painting dancers, laundrywomen, prostitutes.

T 2 The Witch and the Beast

(1)

‘‘Wow, this world sure gets interesting. New types of magic, new types of witches, more magic users, more magical items… normal humans seem to be in the minority : ) The surprise (and rather tragic…) ending of the last volume’s final case felt a little underwhelming, but at least this...‘‘ Lire la suite

Beasts of Burden: Occupied Territory
