Up again is Tim with more Taboo Tattoo. We’re still with Seigi who has magical void powers that are triggered by Blood. We also meet the princess of tattoland who is not a gothic porn star from the two thousands. The pace continues moving too … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 551: Imaginary Tattoo"

Keanu Reeves is a nuero scientist working for BioEvilCorp. They’re experimenting on transferring the consciousnesses from dead soldiers into a robot that’s their base model.
