Anime Review: Gakuen Babysitters!
“Those who have left us won’t be coming back anymore but it’s not like we are alone in this world, so don’t think you have to stick it out on your own.” — Morinomiya Youko When Ryuuichi and his baby brother Kotaro lost their parents suddenly to a plane crash while on holiday, the brothers are left wondering how they will survive from now on with no other relatives take them in. But with the help of the Morinomiya Academy’s Chairwoman, the brothers now have another chance to grow up and live a stable life — that is under one condition… Ryuuichi must join the academy’s babysitting club and takes care of the faculty’s children. And there begins the journey of two brothers and the many people they will meet through this babysitting club. This anime is the perfect slice of life and heartwarming show for anyone who is interested in a light anime. Although I must warn you, you might need a tissue box by your side every now and then because I sure as hell did use up quite a bit of them.

COMICS REVIEW – Submitted for your consideration: Hugo Recommendations
Welcome to the latest installment of my comics review column here at Skiffy & Fanty! Every month, I use this space to shine a spotlight on SF&F comics (print comics, graphic novels, and webcomics) that I believe deserve more attention from SF&F readers. This month, the SFFnal awards season is upon us once again, so I’m going to follow up on a similar post I made last year and recommend some candidates that might otherwise be overlooked that I believe are worthy of your Best Graphic Story Hugo nominations! (These reviews contain spoilers!)

Book Review: The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky by John Hornor Jacobs
The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky is a dark and intently written horror novella that shows the breadth of the author’s skill. A fictional South American Country. Two expatriates, an old poet with a long history of tangling with the autocratic regime that runs his homeland, and his young protege, a young college professor who is drawn to him, and his connection to their homeland of Magera. An unlikely friendship, a manuscript telling awful secrets, and a compulsion to return to her homeland. These and much more are the elements of The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky, a literary cosmic horror novella from John Hornor Jacobs.
