…Manga Review: Durarara!!
Release Year: 2009
Reading Year: SU2023
Currently Reading: Completed
Thoughts: For Durarara!!, short stories really work in this world. Saika builds on already intriguing and charismatic characters providing a short, fun story. I was delighted to hear from these characters again. I can’t explain why, but I find these characters so damn charismatic. They are just so cool and untouchable.
…Manga Review: Durarara!! RE; DOLLARS Arc
Release Year: 2014

Currently Reading: Volume 8
Thoughts: There is something off about this arc. There is a different artist (Aogiri instead of Akiyo Satorigi), and that may have been all it takes. The art is gorgeous, modern, and honestly had me just staring at some of these pages. But, the soul of the series isn’t in this arc. It just feels like a regular story with characters that I am being told are powerful or interesting, rather just being all of those things. The charisma is gone. Without my buy-in about how cool these characters are, I lose interest.
