Anime and Manga Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (January 27, 2023)

I can’t believe we’ve almost made it through the first month of 2023 already, and that next week’s list of links will be going live in February. Unfortunately, this first month of 2023 wasn’t as good as it could have been for the winter simulcast season, thanks to COVID-19 delaying four of the new shows that started airing this season. Here’s hoping that this is the extent of it and that the situation will start to normalize at some point in February.
