What makes The Nihon Review the comprehensive review site of all things Japanese? It is the fact that our reviewers aren’t always solely focused on the mainstream stuff; it may come every once in a while, but you can always be sure that we will bring you reviews of works that fall outside the spotlight of mainstream popularity. After all, we’re not just any other two-bit review site or blog out there.

Today, Sorrow-kun is all praises for the subtle artistry of Tony Takitani, while zzeroparticle gives a thumbs up to Shion no Ou for a good attempt at creating something new by fusing mystery into the game/sport genre.
