WELCOME TO THE VOID

As I mentioned back in October, I’ve been slowly making my way through Natsu Hyūga’s The Apothecary Diaries light novel Volume 3. The way these are written, it’s easy to pick up and put down because each chapter is succinct. They are almost like a series of connected short stories collected in light novel form. This is brilliant if you’re reading a lot of other material and don’t have time for a long novel format. I finally finished Vol. 3 after a bunch of back to back appointments that required some long waits. Much like the first two books, it was well worth savoring every single chapter. I can’t wait to break down the best parts. I’ve been especially excited since the announcement that The Apothecary Diaries anime Season 3’s first cour will be release October 26, 2026.

With the arrival of the Simurians on Earth, we quickly met Maru and his people. Across the last 13 chapters, we have seen the Okkutsus build a powerful bond with twin Simurians, Maru and Cross. But things took a turn for the worst when the Simurians discovered Japan’s cursed spirits were like the sacred beasts of their world. As the conflict quickly elevated, shots were fired in the chaos. With Cross now on his deathbed and the peacekeeper Usami likely to follow after Dabura resisted his cursed speech technique, relations are disastrous. The Simurians have demanded retribution for Cross’s injury and the protection of cursed spirits in the Inhuman Makyo. With Japan refusing to yield the Tokyo ruins that house the cursed spirits to the Simurians, the only recourse left is a duel between Dabura and Jujutsu Society representative, Yuka Okkotsu.

I have been a huge fan of Endo Tatsuya’s Forger family since the launch of the Spy x Family anime back in 2022. Not only did it prompt me to start reading Endo sensei’s manga, but I also began adding Anya figures to my collection about two years ago. She’s too adorable for words, and the

This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, currently available for U.S. readers from VIZ Media Last week’s chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is still weighing heavy on my heart. Left holding the bag full emotions that come with Cross being shot by one of the jujutsu sorcerers, it’s a brutal weight to bear. Needless to say, Chapter 13, “Acceptance,” is anything but acceptance for me. I understand why that title was chosen, but there’s nothing acceptable about what’s happening in this manga right now. Chapter 13 is intense, albeit a bit scattered in places. It does offer some insight into the situation that will go a long way toward shaping the manga’s future. It also brings an important sorcerer from the past into the spotlight for a moment. Fans now have official confirmation that at least two out of the three original students introduced in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 are still alive. So, let’s take a look at everything learned in “Acceptance.”

For over a year, I have been stewing in my thoughts on the end of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Not for the same reason a lot of others do, of course. I wasn’t dissatisfied with the ending. Sure, I am still bitter about Gojo, but all-in-all, I was happy with the overall end of JJK. If you’ve been lost in the Void for a minute or two recently, you already know how much I am enjoying Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.  Modulo does bring some things to the surface that are hard to put down again once I pick them up. One of JJK‘s biggest letdowns happens near the end of the Shibuya Incident. An infuriated Yuji, stalking a terrified Mahito down to exorcise him once and for all, never gets his chance. Yes, we all wanted to see Mahito destroyed. The fact that Kenjaku was so eager to dispose of him when he was no longer necessary was glorious. But… Yuji deserved to rise victoriously over Mahito, to be the one who brought an end to his reign of horrors. Yuji was robbed.
