I would first look for Tubi to stream the hilarious “Shut Up Evil Dragon” (one of anime’s funnier titles). As a free streaming service with ads, it surprisingly includes a good-sized anime library. Unfortunately, Wakanim, with its large European library of often hard to find titles, sometimes will have this show as well. But be warned, rarely are there English dubbed versions on Wakanim, so prepare yourself for subtitles unless you are fluent in Japanese.

He’s kind of a weird deuteragonist in that Yiseong is the real protagonist but Sihyun has gotten the most recognition from fans and has such a unique and cool ability, and an amazing contrast to Yiseong’s kind-hearted nature in his driving force and actions, and their uneasy alliance and conflicting ideologies make for an amazing push-andpull throughout the story. It’s really hard to tell what Sihyun’s endgame is and whether his ruthless pragmatism is really needed in this world, but his character adds so much political and psychological depth to the entire story.

In terms of character development, the author focuses primarily on Park Hyun, the main protagonist, Chae-kyung, the secondary protagonist, and Doh Hyung, the antagonist. Dal-yeon serves as a secondary character and as a turning point for the emotional development of Hyun and Doh Hyung. The central plot of the novel is Park Hyun’s struggle to gain power and revenge within Doh Hyung’s empire while at the same time trying to protect Chae-kyung, who is also coveted by Doh Hyung as his prize. While their complicated relationship is portrayed mostly seriously, at times it can feel like a delicate dance of wolves and in these scenes, romance is not on the forefront of their interactions. Furthermore, each of the characters are well-developed to the point where it is easy to understand how each of their respective traumatic events from the past have shaped them into the current individuals they are today. Hyun’s desperation to regain power, Chae-kyung’s strategical submission to protect herself, and Doh Hyung’s cold and calculating nature are all realistic within the scope of the novel. Overall, the novel maintains a bleak atmosphere throughout its entirety, yet at the same time, it is incredibly engaging and readers will find themselves drawn to each of the main characters even though they know in the end that their stories will likely end in tragedy. Furthermore, there is little comic relief throughout the novel, thus it maintains a consistently dark tone.

The team that Robert Ironside leads is iconic. Ironside is the brains, Mark Sanger is the brawn, Eve Whitfield is the heart, and Ed Brown is the new kid. You feel the personal connection to each case as they struggle to solve the mystery and you experience the banter and camaraderie that they have with each other. Ironside’s disability is not used as a gimmick to get sympathy from the audience, but rather it is a part of his character and the show tackles the problems that he faces. Mark Sanger, Eve Whitfield and Ed Brown are in the process of redemption, stability and growth respectively and this makes for some great TV. The characters are all very real with all their flaws and that is what makes the show so enduring.

Kishikawa is the best of the bunch, a sophisticated, cultured and multilingual killer who treats his murders with the same love and care that he would bring to any other art form. His companions, Hana and Diamond, are equally well-realized - Hana’s background is horrific but she is not a victim; she is strong and silent. Diamond is a foul-mouthed, lacking-in-class villain, and thus a wonderful foil to the urbane killer. Even the least of the minor characters (like the friend of Hel’s childhood that he has to kill) is introduced with a sense of tension. But it is the relationships between Kishikawa and his two murderesses that are really the interest of this novel: his paternal love for Hel, Hana’s devotion to him, and the begrudging respect that he gets from his enemies. The novel is a character-driven thriller that explores as much philosophy as action.

The two main characters of the story are Dae-ho and his aunt Mi-na. The other secondary characters in the story are Su-ah, the tutor, and Yoo-jin, the friend’s sister. The story falls apart if Mi-na had not made the specific decision to teach Dae-ho about the relationships of adults in such a concrete way. The other characters only add complexity to the initial teacher-student relationship.

I recommended this to a friend who is a blended family therapist. She said the character relationships were very accurate. All of the ways that jealousy can play out, the various loyalty binds that form, the many ways that families test each other’s boundaries and have accidents that negatively affect each other were all covered. It was painful to read at times, but also helped me to understand some things that I hadn’t quite gotten before. For example, Anna trying to make dinner that the kids’ other mom used to make was disastrous. Leo getting angry with Anna for trying to discipline Sora was also very real. Hiroshi trying to go shopping and not knowing what brand of juice to get because he’d never done it before was also very real. All of the main characters are case studies in non-biological family integration. So, it’s not just a good story. It’s also very insightful to read for someone who is interested in family dynamics.

I absolutely adore 'Christy'—it's one of those stories that feels like a warm hug every time I revisit it. The protagonist, Christy Huddleston, is this bright-eyed 19-year-old who leaves her comfortable life to teach at a mission school in the Smoky Mountains. Her idealism clashes beautifully with the harsh realities of Appalachian life, and her growth throughout the story is so genuine. Then there's Miss Alice Henderson, the no-nonsense Quaker missionary who becomes Christy's mentor. Her wisdom and quiet strength are unforgettable. And who could forget Dr. Neil MacNeill? The brooding, compassionate physician who adds so much tension and depth to the narrative. The way these characters interact—especially Christy's struggles with faith, love, and purpose—makes the book impossible to put down.
Other standout characters include Fairlight Spencer, a local woman whose friendship teaches Christy about resilience, and the mischievous yet endearing children at the school. The novel's strength lies in how real they all feel—like people you might've known in another life. Catherine Marshall's writing makes their joys and sorrows leap off the page. I still tear up thinking about some of their arcs!

Lilia’s interactions with the rest of the maids are fantastic. They think that she must come from the worst kind of poverty, and treat her accordingly, assuring her that she is too exhausted for more work, and trying to protect her, while Lilia secretly does the work with a flick of her hand. It is great to see normal human kindness compared to Lilia’s godlike abilities, and gives the story a soul.

The coaches are very interesting in this story. As always with authority figures, they are portrayed in almost mythical fashion – almost as forces of nature. The reader never gets to hear the coaches’ background stories. All they care about is guarding the highly-prized cheer squad. This is typical for a kid’s-eye view of the world. To a twelve-year-old, teachers and coaches are nothing but their function. As always in this story, the characters are represented by archetypes as the main character would see them. This makes the main character herself even more vivid and central.
