George Costanza’s 89%-Rated Hit Series Lacks One Genius of Sex and the City
Jason Alexander’s George Costanza gave us a crazily funny, 89%-rated Seinfeld that nailed the everyday awkwardness we all know too well. The show’s sharp writing and characters made it a hit, no doubt about that. But it did miss that special spark, that one creative genius behind Sex and the City. Seinfeld is great, but […]

Bocchi the Rock Side Story Manga Is Great for Kikuri Hiroi Fans
Kikuri Hiroi can be one of those scene-stealing characters in both the Bocchi the Rock anime and manga adaptations. While the series tends to focus on Kessoku Band members like Hitori, Ikuyo, Nijika, and Ryo, this funny and flawed supporting cast member with moments of depth is a standout too. Though since she is an alcoholic and has plenty of vices, the enjoyment someone gets out of the Bocchi the Rock! Side Story: Kikuri Hiroi’s Heavy-Drinking Diary spin-off manga will vary depending on how much you like her and the original series.
Editors Note: There will be some mild spoilers for early parts of volume 1 of the Bocchi the Rock! Side Story: Kikuri Hiroi’s Heavy-Drinking Diary manga.
While the original Bocchi the Rock is a four-koma series that gradually builds on the story of Kessoku band in strips that also can sometimes stand on their own, the Bocchi the Rock! Side Story: Kikuri Hiroi’s Heavy-Drinking Diary side story manga follows a more traditional format as it looks at Sick Hack’s singer and bass player. While it starts by bringing up Kikuri’s talents and how adept bandmates Eliza Shimizu and Shima Iwashita are, it also quickly establishes she is no angel and shows a copy trying to reason with her when she’s in a full drunken “incorrigible alcoholic”moment.
Image via Yen Press
It’s a stark introduction to two facets of her personality, and the first chapter continues to emphasize that. She gets so drunk after a sold-out Yokohama Arena show that she winds up blackout drunk in Kanazawa. While Eliza and Shima clearly respect her talents enough to perform and be in Sick Hack with her, neither is going to come and pick her up and they also definitely knew she probably wouldn’t make the fireworks show they were going to go to. People in the bar she winds up in think she’s exaggerating about her indie band being popular and talents, due to the fact she walks in drunk and keeps drinking. But then actual fans recognize her, ask to meet her, and verify her story. Kikuri gets carried away and offers to cover folks’ tabs, blowing through her money and winding up alone and broke at a shrine with a stray cat and huge bottle of cheap booze.
What I appreciate is that Bocchi the Rock! Side Story: Kikuri Hiroi’s Heavy-Drinking Diary sort of feels like a different type of slice-of-life manga. It’s still going through an indie rocker’s daily life. We get a different perspective. But it doesn’t lock the story into a comedic or dramatic tone, and it establishes that from the outset. Because while this chapter starts out funny, as we see her deal with her drunkenness, not being able to convince people for a ride, and come to terms with spending almost all of her money as she’s carried away on fan adoration, that quickly turns darker. By the end of the chapter, she’s entered her infamous Spiral of Happiness, which sees her dealing with any discomfort or pain by getting so drunk that she gets “happy” and numb.
And we see this continue throughout this spin-off. Kikuri reaches a high point, usually a performance of sorts or something dealing with her talents resulting in a win for Sick Hack or her personally. But then something happens to swiftly bring her down. It could be recklessly spending money that could have supported her for a month or longer. Maybe it’s getting so carried away in the moment that she trashes expensive equipment that belonged to a club. While we see people around her, such as Eliza and even Shima, do care in their own ways and offer different sorts of supports, there’s a constant cycle that makes it both occasionally amusing and a fascinating analysis of her as a character. However, because Kikuri is a drunk, I could see it being painful or difficult for some people to read, especially when it can seem like she isn’t thinking about consequences or considering others.
So if someone really likes the original series or is interested in the character, I feel like the Bocchi the Rock! Side Story: Kikuri Hiroi’s Heavy-Drinking Diary manga can be interesting supplemental reading. But if someone has experiencing being in a role like Shima or being around someone like that, I think it might be a difficult read. Especially when moments come up when Kikuri or other people do get serious.
Volume 1 of Bocchi the Rock! Side Story: Kikuri Hiroi’s Heavy-Drinking Diary is available now, and Yen Press will release volume 2 of the manga on September 23, 2025. The company also handles the Bocchi the Rock manga. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll .

New Sanrio Bikkura Bath Bombs Contain Toys Wearing Bows
Bandai Namco announced its latest entry in the Bikkura Bath Bombs series, and it’s a Sanrio My Fave Color series with toys of five characters wearing bows. While some stores will sell them individually, at the moment two of the only places selling full boxes of them are Entertainment Earth ( $130.99 ) and Premium Bandai ( $120 ). This collection is immediately available.
This is a recurring series involving anime characters, stars of games, and mascots. Once you open a package and drop the bath bomb in a full tub, it will disappear and reveal a figure. Each toy is about an inch tall.
In the case of the Sanrio My Fave Color Bikkura Bath Bombs series, there are 10 possible toys. Each one is inside a bath bomb that smells like strawberry cake. Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, My Melody, Pochacco, and Pompompurin are all available, with two variants of each one as options. The general poses for each are identical, but the facial expressions and colors of the bows they wear will be different. As an example, Pochacco is wearing a pink bow with shirt and sleeping in one and winking and wearing a teal bow and shirt in the other. A full case contains 15 random toys, so someone will likely get doubles and might not get every character.
Here are the official photos of the package and toys. Bandai Namco didn’t share any pictures of the bath bombs themselves.

There is actually another line available as well. That one features Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Pochacco, and Pompompurin, with each figure designed to be posed in a line together .
In the past, other entries in the series included toys of the shark from Jaws , characters from One Piece , and Tamagotchi hair ties .
The Sanrio My Fave Color series Bikkura Bath Bombs are available now.

Hordes of Hunger – PreviewOver the course of these last few years, Survivors-like titles have been sprouting like weeds, some of them being amazing entries in the genre while others are rubbish, trying to bank on the success. We loved original titles such as Keeper’s Toll and Nordic Ashes, which came with original mechanics and engaging gameplay. This is also what intrigued us when looking at early gameplay footage of Hordes of Hunger. The game is currently out in Early Access and combines Survivors-like mechanics with hack-and-slash gameplay. While still rough around the edges, we enjoyed ourselves for the most part. Hordes of Hunger strays away from the typical 2D or 3D isometric point of view and somewhat shifts more to a third-person perspective. There is the option for an isometric point of view, but said camera option feels a bit unstable at the time of writing this preview. The enemy models look creepy, and the game somewhat has the same vibes as a Dark Souls title. The sound design complements everything quite nicely, and the almost juicy hack-and-slash sounds provide great audio feedback for the onscreen action. Sadly, Mirah, the protagonist, repeats some voice lines a bit too often to our liking. The other SFX are also very decent. The soundtrack takes the backseat when playing through a run. There is also a bit of story value already in the game, but everything feels really vague. You’ll encounter other survivors in the monster-infested areas, which you can save and bring to Sanctuary, the only safe zone in the world that we know of. The dialogues are fully voiced, which is certainly a plus. We would love to see a bit more narrative ‘dressing’ in the full version. It’s in the gameplay aspect that Hordes of Hunger does things a bit differently than your average Survivors-like game. The early stages of a run feel a bit more like a hack-and-slash title, as you’ll have to manually target enemies to use your light and heavy attacks on. You can also dodge and parry, and there’s also a bigger and stronger charged attack that you can equip. As you kill monsters and earn experience points, you’ll level up and be presented with three upgrade choices to pick from. Some are tiny passive upgrades, while others present you with new skills. These skills can range from electrocuting your enemies while dodging through them to casting massive fissures under random enemies to deal fire damage per second. From this point onwards, you’ll be able to focus more on dishing out damage that occurs at fixed intervals as well. This does make the gameplay a bit more versatile compared to very generic Vampire Survivors clones, as you can opt to participate actively while also enjoying the benefits of automatic attacks. While entertaining, Hordes of Hunger doesn’t offer that much content yet, and some of it is already recycled in the stages of the second chapter. Each of the levels is divided into several missions, with a small moment of safety in between some of them. Sadly, missions can become repetitive, even in the course of a single level. Sometimes you’ll have to do the same mission, such as finding the holy ground and staying within the small circle until it’s safe, which is actually a shame. It would have been a lot more fun if the same missions hadn’t repeated in the course of a single level. We hope that additional missions will be added in the future. Even so, the gameplay loop is still very entertaining, but because of the aforementioned issue and the drop rates of weapon pieces, the pacing does feel a bit off. We were able to complete what the current build had to offer without actually being able to craft more than a single new weapon, which was just a slightly stronger version of our starting sword. We hope the drop chance for weapons shards increases in future updates, allowing us to experiment more with new and stronger weapons. Even though we personally preferred playing the game with a controller, as we are more than likely used to playing hack-and-slash titles this way, we felt that there was some input lag, and sometimes button presses proved to be rather unresponsive. This wasn’t always the case, but it happened often enough for us to notice it during hectic moments. Conclusion Hordes of Hunger shows a lot of promise, but the current build may be a bit too light on content for some potential buyers to pick it up already. If you do decide to take the plunge, you’ll have a few hours of fun and engaging content, with a few rough edges here and there. The game proves to be a fun spin on the typical Survivors-like experience and has an interesting world that we hope gets fleshed out in the full version. While we may already be done with the current build of this Dark Souls-esque interpretation of Vampire Survivors, we will be revisiting it with future content updates to dive back into the action.
