SLA Blogging Round-up
Dave points to a library’s manga page. It is of course at the Kansas City Public Library, which has a web site which is awesome in so many ways.

I managed to snag an advance copy of the first volume of Doubt and I enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to the next episode in the saga of Ai’s fierce quest to become a beautiful popular girl. The second volume falls into a groove where Ai is clearly the popular, beautiful, ex-nerd equivalent [...]
