Manga: Dick Fight Island Series

So. Much. Has. Changed. You wouldn't believe it. I'm this close to spill the tea and the beans and everything else, but for now let's stay with a nice manga series that made me laugh a lot from beginning to end. If you like easy, funny readings that you don't need to take too seriously, then Dick Fight Island Series, by Reibun Ike, will be a great pick for you.

• Mangaka: Reibun Ike.
• Publication: 2019 - 2021.
• Publisher: SuBLime.
• Print Length: 2 volumes.
• Genres: Comedy, Fantasy, Gay, Romance, Yaoi.
• 4 / 5 stars.
• Synopsis of the first volume:

Eight mighty island warriors battle to become king. The deciding factor? The one who comes last, of course!

Eight islands represented by their best warriors must battle it out in a tournament to decide their king. To win this battle of endurance, it’s not the last one standing but the last one coming that matters!

The tournament to choose the next king of the islands is about to begin. The rules are simple—whoever comes first loses! Participating warriors protect their mighty swords with armor that grows larger and more elaborate with each tournament. But one warrior has returned from studying abroad with a technique certain to force a pleasurable eruption! Is there a competitor alive able to withstand it? Or is this deft warrior destined to become king?!

Let me be clear: this series is ridiculous, and I love it! The characters are so extra it's impossible to take them seriously for once (okay, maybe now and then, but it's really rare!), which is exactly what makes it a great option if you want to lay down and enjoy and laugh for a while. I don't remember the last time when I got to crack so hard while reading!

The characters are lovely, even as extra as they can be, and the setting is also interesting. There is not so much character development as one might prefer, but who cares? This is a series to just roll with, let things be, and enjoy the eye candy, because that is something Reibun Ike got straight from the beginning: this is a long-form fan-service product one cannot complain about.

Other than that, there's not a lot that can be said about this series, which is why I don't give it a higher rating. It's nice, it's fun, it has great art (although the censorship is... ridiculous, in a bad way; why even bother, really? We all know what's happening and there's a clear "explicit content" sign on the cover, that's the whole reason why I read the book!), but there's not much else to talk about.

Although I wasn't a huge fan of the second volume for it feeling disorganized at times, I still liked getting to know more about the characters, what happened before and after the competition, and how things ended for some of them. It's the kind of reading that you remember for how different it is, because that is one thing for sure: I don't think any of us would have thought about something like this. As long as you don't expect magnificence, you will love it!

Kinky regards, K!

Identity Crisis: Part 2

I recently read a text by a good friend. It made me start thinking about what Witchcraft means to me, what it meant before. The truth is that I never wanted to be an influencer of sorts, and somewhere along the way I started becoming one, or trying to be one.

These months have been useful to reconnect with myself, with al part of who I am. Far from being done, I feel closer than I was before. I'm starting to feel like myself once again. And it's uncomfortable, but also exciting.

This friend wrote that a witch is "a person empowered by folkloric practices to enact change in the world," which made me ask myself "what's the change you want to see in the world, as Kyler?"

I immediately thought about bisexuality, fairy tales, and toxic masculinity. I want to devote more time to those, more energy, but not so much quantity. Quality has always been my priority, as it should be in all cases, and I realized I've focused more on quantity.

If there is something that I'm proud of, is my Alder King series. I didn't write that in the blink of an eye, in a single day, or on a whim. I didn't write those entries because anything else than wanting to. I felt empowered by that piece of folklore, something I want to go back to; a few weeks ago I was in a witchcraft store and asked about an alder wand.

Maybe it was the Alder King, maybe it was something else, but at the moment, right there right then, there was something different. Something... much better, otherworldly. It was a sense of belonging to something much bigger, better. That's what I wanted my Craft to feel like from the beginning, and I lost it at some point.

I'm slowly recovering it day by day, but I still need time to get back into that. Turns out that unlearning and relearning are not so easy to accomplish, but oh well, I'll do it.
