Kumo desu ga, Nani ka? Is a manga which had been adapted from the original novel of the same name, in which a spider must do whatever it takes to survive in a cruel world. The story begins with two incredibly powerful characters whose magic collided, which was so strong that it crossed worlds and wiped out a classroom full of high school students. All of the victims are then reincarnated in another world which included Kumoko, the main female lead, who is turned into a spider. With this new life in front of her she must now face all of her new challenges head on, and adapt as fast as she can.

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could come back as something interesting like a bird, or bear, and live an entirely fresh new life? We’d most surely love to live our lives buzzing around collecting all of the delicious nectar for our friends. Kumo desu ga, Nani ka? takes us on a journey to an imaginative world where reincarnation is simply a natural occurrence, and now Kumoko must try to develop new habits and instincts in this new spider body. It really is funny to read how she struggles dealing with making webs, or not getting stepped on along the way. Her courageous and determination gets her through many rough obstacles and you’re right there along with her on the journey.

A new immortal and genderless lifeform called Gems now populate the Earth, and these 28 Gems must battle against enemies known as Moon Dwellers who constantly attack them, abduct them, and turn them into weird decorations. Each of the Gems is equipped with their own special roles such as medics or fighters which are then used in battle. Phosphophyllite is the only Gem however who, after 300 years has not been assigned any role on the battlefield. He’s determined to help fight alongside his comrades but is deemed too weak, but one master Gem assigns him a task that only he can fulfill: create a natural history encyclopedia.

Why Phosphophyllite was assigned such an odd role in a battle for survival is beyond our comprehension, but surely it must be useful in this all out war right? Well in Houseki no Kuni there’s a ton that happens that will throw you off course, with its unpredictable climaxes, and directions that will take you all over the place. Once you find yourself halfway through the series you’ll start to understand just why Phosphophyllite was given his role, because it truly creates some epic scenes along with providing us with some history about the Moon Dwellers and more.

Sekigahara is widely known around the world as one of Japan’s most intense wars, with incredible bloodshed and thousands of lives lost. Shimazu Toyohisa is the main lead in this story, who actually was a real life samurai who fought in the enormous battle which unfortunately took his life. In this fantasy driven story, Toyohisa is brought back to life and transported into a world of magic with other famous Japanese warriors throughout history who now must band together to defeat the powerful enemy.

Drifters is now about to receive its very first anime adaptation that’s slated to air next month for the fall lineup, so be sure to check that out. Before that however, we recommend reading the manga to really get a full glimpse of how it all started, and where Toyohisa ends up in this historical battle adventure. You’ll find such names as Nobunaga in the cast, along with other very notable classics that we’ll leave you to discover for yourself. If you love Japanese history as much as we do, then Drifters will be sure to drift you away into a time where the shogunate ruled and it’s up to a group of hardened warriors to claim victory.

Negi Springfield is a recent graduate from a prestigious magic academy, and in order to increase his skills he’s sent to Japan to teach English at an all girls middle school. Negi has much bigger dreams than to become a mage however as he sets his sights on finding his father, “The Thousand Master”, widely considered to be the strongest mage in existence. This search is no walk in the park as not only pushes him beyond his limits, but he’s now thrown his students into the mix in this life or death battle that’ll decide the fate of humanity.

You’ll be laughing so hard at some of the stuff you come across as you read through Mahou Sensei Negima! because it’s all thrown into this pot of randomness, and mixes together so well that you can’t help but chuckle at Negi’s foolish attempts for attention. Of course with ecchi and harem, comes oppai and lots of sexual remarks, so you’ll most definitely see that everywhere throughout the series. Negi tries so hard to do things on his own but then drags everyone into his mess which causes even more laughs, because these people have no idea what’s about to happen.
