Another year around the sun for the dolphin man. Hope everyone enjoys their day while I go out to enjoy all you can eat Brazilian meats and some cheesecake!

Half-Price Books trips can be absolutely amazing sometimes. Along with a great haul of books, I found SEVEN issues of Shojo Beat magazine. I never knew this magazine existed before today, but that's a pretty great find to celebrate 20 years of Shojo Beat.

Sadly the days of making shorts for the manga I finished are over. 🔗- youtu.be/h4kKkg_6JIE

On the subject of collections, I keep forgetting to share these, so here they are. Half Price Books once again bolstering my collection while I finally got my hands on Cosmos and the latest Lore Olympus hardcover. Not pictured but I also bought the Dungeon Meshi box set too!

Ichi the Witch Jump cover number 4 secured! Keeping up with my promise of collecting them all. And next year I'll be able to start collecting the English volumes to go with these!

So for the first time in this challenge, I'm taking a one day break. I'll be doing a double upload either tomorrow or Tuesday, but I needed to take a personal day. That said today's read was Hiro Mashima's Playground. Interesting collection of one-shots. Thanks for understanding

If you haven't checked it out already, I'd love it if people could listen in to my latest video. I'm bringing back the podcast format and this week has three 15 minute segments. I'm looking for feedback in this experiment so I can make this the best I can for the channel.

Long-form content is back! In podcast form! Join me as I discuss three main topics each week. This week I'm covering: - The Spring 2025 Shonen Jump batch - The AI manga controversy - The Crunchyroll Awards nominees youtu.be/UqQZ_K5aslQ

Updates for the Youtube channel! - Still doing my daily reads and shorts - January manga ranking is in the editing process. February is almost finished scripting. - Interim long-form content plan is a test podcast! First video tomorrow - 2 special reviews upcoming for indy manga

Honestly crazy to think I've already finished over 100 manga this year so far. There are SO MANY good titles out there and I'm glad that I get to highlight so many. Thank you to everyone that supported me along the way. I hope to continue reading and entertaining this year!

Finally own all three of the Ichi the Witch cover issues of Shonen Jump! And the new one has STICKERS!

Had an amazing day buying books today! Went out of town for Half Price Books and Barnes & Noble. Came home with another huge haul! The icing on the cake was picking up another 9 issues of monthly Shonen Jump. Now to hold off on any more book buying until April...

Going to be following suit with yesterday's short and upload tonight after work. Just an off few days with my throat. Check out yesterday's short if you haven't already. Tonight's short is on the latest one-shot from the creator of Even if You Slit My Mouth.

Today's 365 short is going to be delayed until after work tonight. Between the Superbowl yesterday and feeling blah this morning, I opted to do things after work. Today's short is going to be about The Horizon by Ji-Hoon Jeong. And yes, it is a manwha.

Viz Announcements are over and we didn't get any shojosei titles, so why don't you join me for some josei girls love with latest 365 Days of Manga title!

31 Days. 31 manga. January can officially be marked a success as I stuck to my goals of one completed manga per day. I'm working on a ranking video for the month and hope to have that done by the end of the weekend. For now, I look to February and romance is on the agenda...

Today's short is going to be delayed until tonight due to some technical difficulties before I had to leave for work. That said Komi is the subject for day 29 - yet another long-running series that ended in January.

While I haven't had a breakout hit with my 365 Days of manga shorts yet, I am happy that I've been able to get 10,000 views from them and new subs with almost every new one. I'm in this for the long haul even if the big results aren't immediately seen.

We've finally reached the 1990s in the Shonen Jump History videos! Come take a look if youd like to hear me talk about some big classics like YuYu Hakusho and Slam Dunk or some more obscure stuff! vvvvvvvvv youtu.be/M9OEAOYWOGU

So far in 2025, I've finished 15 manga and published one short for each of them on Youtube. I'm staying on top of my goal of one finished manga per day this year and I'm loving the journey so far. 15 down. 350 to go.

It's 2025, and as always that means that it's the perfect time to look back to the previous year and remember my favourite (and least favourite) reads of 2024! Go check it out, there's some good manga recs for you! youtu.be/zY_ubSblCak

This is going to be the start of my thread for my 365 Days of Manga! First one is The Game Devil from Manga Plus. Started off the year by finishing a roguelike game manga. Fitting since I'm obsessed with the roguelike Balatro right now. 🔗- youtube.com/shorts/569Uy...

600 new subs in a little over 1 month? Hell yeah! Goal for December? Hitting 3,000 subs. If I put out at least one video per week, I think I should be able to meet that goal.

Still working on my latest Youtube video coming out this week, but here's a teaser. Going to be discussing Jump's 2024 TOC rankings. Some of the results MAY surprise you.

Thanks to the stellar performance of my two big State of Jump videos, I'm back to being a partner on Youtube! Time to actually build upon that this go around.

It is the spooky season and as such, I've been reading some horror manga. But I shouldn't be the only one, so today I bring you 5 horror anthologies for you to read this Halloween!

With some of its longest running titles ending, what does the future look like for Weekly Shonen Jump? I'm Axelablaze and this is the State of Jump in 2025. youtu.be/cyGmtKcl6-w

This is my library. I've also got another bookcase in my office, but this is where the vast majority of my manga, comics, novels, and more are displayed.

My State of Jump video has officially wrapped recording! All that's left now is editing and creating a thumbnail. I am absolutely thrilled to be releasing new content again.

Despite the unintentional similarity to "Axel Blaze" (Gouenji) from Inazuma Eleven, my username has always been based on Axel from Kingdom Hearts. I leaned into it a bit more when I was cosplaying more often but never pulled a cosplay of him together. That said he IS part of my office decor.

A teaser for the manga haul video. This is what 100+ volumes stacked on top of each other looks like. Also... DO NOT REPLICATE THAT AT HOME. Had like 4-5 scares throughout since they're all varying sizes.

Today is all about productivity! I'm cleaning/organizing my office and library today so I can get to recording content. I've got a giant manga haul to film as well as my State of Shonen Jump video, so wish me luck!

Jumping on the trend like many others. I'm a returning Youtuber that talks about manga and anime. Looking to get back in the content creation game. Other socials: Twitter - x.com/Axelablaze_P... Youtube - youtube.com/@axelablazep...
