Review: ギャルごはん Gal Gohan [Gyaru Cooking]

ギャルごはん Gal Gohan [Gyaru Cooking] ギャルごはん Gal Gohan [Gyaru Cooking] by Taiyou Marii
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

Banner

Dropped after Chapter 1.

Do you like the look of gyaru fashion? Do you like fan service? Do you like potential student-teacher relationships? Do you like food and/or cooking? If you like any or all of the above then Gal Gohan is the right manga for you! I, on the other hand, hate all of these aforementioned things!!! I could not have been any more completely out of the target demographic for this series.

My main problem was definitely the huge sexual tension between the girl gyaru student and the male teacher. Student-teacher relationships are something that I am so completely and utterly against that I cannot bring myself to enjoy a series that seriously hints at it like this first chapter did. But hey, if you don’t mind that kind of thing you might enjoy this. Who knows.

Review: The Art of the Adventures of Tintin

The Art of the Adventures of Tintin by Chris Guise My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Art of The Adventures of Tintin was even better than I could have ever dreamed. This is my first "Art of" book, and I kind of knew what I was getting into but I was still surprised. I didn't even mean to start reading this when I started reading this. We were given an assignment in art class to design a poster for the school play and I really had no ideas. I remembered that these "Art of" books are full of concept art so I decided to flip through this one. Well, next thing I knew I wasn't just flipping through it, I was completely engrossed in it. I flipped to the first page and started properly reading it. This book was a good reading experience. Right off the bat Chris Guise lets the reader know that he's not going to bombard you with text, that he's gonna let the art do most of the talking and he's going to make the best "Ar...

Review: Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War

Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War by Linda F. McGreevy My rating: 0 of 5 stars This is a very unique and interesting academic text. There are no other examinations of the German artist Otto Dix, his war experience, and his war-related art that are quite as in-depth as this one, while also covering a wide range of different aspects and angles of not only the artist's story, but also the Great War's. I used this as a source for a University research essay I wrote on the effects of Dix's war experience on the creation and effects of his painting Skat Players (1920). I was very late in starting my research so I unfortunately had to stick to only reading the information I could use for my own examination, rather than being able to devour this book in its entirety. However, the library requires this book be returned at the end of January of next year, so I have some time now to actually finish this book since the semester has finished...

Review: Everything's Trash, But It's Okay

Everything's Trash, But It's Okay by Phoebe Robinson My rating: 0 of 5 stars DNF because I had to return it to my library, but I ain't even mad. This seemed like it was finally going to be a book written by a comedian that is actually funny—and it WAS... In the beginning—but it started to feel like accidentally walking into a feminist rally. It was non-stop preaching about "you have to do this or else you're a bad person!!", and it's like oh my god shut up. Nothing against feminism, but damn did this chick become annoying as hell. I'm sure it was probably/maybe/possibly just that essay I was on, but honestly it was such a buzzkill that it completely shattered any and all motivation I had to continue listening to this before its return date. Also I'm shocked that I haven't seen anyone talk about the writing style, because it is... Definitely something. She literally writes her essays in the same shorthand way one would write a ...
