My Hero Academia Vol. 23 Review (Hey Poor Player)
Thanks to the aforementioned priorities involving Animal Crossing: New Horizons -- as well as unforeseen complications involving coronavirus -- this one came out later than I wanted it to.

Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru Vol. 1 Review (Hey Poor Player)
I was planning on reviewing Volume 2, but the series got axed no less than two weeks afterwards. Just goes to show nothing's guaranteed in this industry; better luck next time, Kishi!

8-Bit Chronicles: Ice Climber (Hey Poor Player)
This took longer than I wanted it to; I don't remember why. Bad scheduling, maybe. I aimed for a monthly schedule for this column, but the priorities involved with the Animal Crossing: New Horizons guide threw a monkey wrench in that.

The Best 25 Nintendo Games of the Decade (Hey Poor Player)
This was a month ago, but as evidenced by the 13,000+ word count here, I worked my butt off on this one! I planned and prepped for this for years, and it's beyond cathartic to finally see it realized. Props to my co-worker Heather on the beautiful header.
Even so, much as I'm proud of my work here, I couldn't help but think, "I've hit a wall." We'll discuss in a celebratory post here tomorrow. (Guess what day it'll be?)

Dr. Stone Vol. 9 Review (Hey Poor Player)
Amazing manga as always, but I wasn't happy with this review -- kicked my butt for the better part of a week.

The Promised Neverland Vol. 12 Review (Hey Poor Player)
My last piece of the decade. I plan to start the '20s with a bang, so look forward to what I have in store!
Speaking of which...Leave Luck to Heaven's 10-year anniversary is just around the corner! I'll be writing a commemorative piece to celebrate and share my plans for the blog moving forward.
One Piece Vol. 92 Review (Hey Poor Player)
I wasn't as happy with this one as I liked; I mean, given that I had to do five reviews in one month, I guess there'd be at least one review not up to snuff, but Volume 91 set such a high standard that I'd like to model my manga reviews around it going forward.

A Tropical Fish Yearns For Snow Vol. 1 Review (Hey Poor Player)
My first gay romance manga! I guess some pedantic readers would disagree with calling it a romance, but I calls it like I sees it.
Anyway, I originally planned on doing Volume 2, but VIZ was especially late with their review copies for this round and 2020's looking absolutely swamped thus far, so unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. I definitely wanna read more, though!
Deemo Movie Interview Featuring Ming-Yang Yu and Mitsuhisa Ishikawa at AnimeNYC 2019 (Hey Poor Player)
My first in-person interview -- and a group one, at that! I didn't know much about Deemo beforehand, so I hunkered down with the Switch demo beforehand and did some intensive research beforehand.
My greatest thanks to AnimeNYC's PR team for providing this special opportunity!
