I’ve been sending in links to When Fangirls Attack for a little while, and I’m now on board officially. Thanks very much to Ragnell and Kalinara for the invitation to join their blog! I’m going to be focusing on manga linkblogging, since I figure everyone else has other areas of comics covered. If you know […]

Hellgate: London Volume 1 by Arvid Nelson and J. M. (amazon)
This is a prequel to a videogame where I guess people fight a lot of demons. In the near future John Fowler wakes up from a terrible dream where he’s menaced by a dark figure in a bird-like plague mask. He’s a scholarship rugby […]

I found this episode a little less exciting than the first two. There’s some discussion of relationshippy stuff, a mission that deliberately excludes Iku, wheelchair hijinks, and a bit of a cliffhanger at the end.
So part of the reason why Iku joined the library task force is that when she was a schoolgirl, a mysterious […]

Tea for Two Volume 1 by Yaya Sakuragi (amazon)
I’ve read and enjoyed You Higuri’s Gorgeous Caratand read a couple other yaoi titles for another reviewing gig. So Tea For Two is probably just the fifth yaoi title I’ve read, and it was pretty good.
Tokumaru is so rambunctious, he’s always fighting or breaking something. His sister […]

A Wise Man Sleeps Volume 1 by Mick Takeuchi (amazon)
Takeuchi’s other series Her Majesty’s Dog is one of my regular reads, so I was curious about this earlier work. A Wise Man Sleeps is a little more lighthearted than Her Majesty’s Dog, and has much of the charm that I’ve come to expect from this […]

I was excited to see that Dark Horse picked up the CLAMP title Clover. This is one of my favorite CLAMP series, and I always thought it was too bad it was out of print. Heck, even though I have the four volumes from Tokyopop, I might have to buy it again.

Knights Of The Zodiac (Saint Seiya), Volume 1 by Masami Kurumada (amazon)
Long long ago, when I was a wee lass in high school the only way I could watch anime was to go to the nearby university’s anime club. And there I saw a truly awesome show, filled with random references to astronomy, Greek mythology, […]

T Is for Tugboat: Navigating the Seas from A to Z by Traci N. Todd and Sara Gillingham (amazon)
There are plenty of alphabet books out there, but T is for Tugboat is a handsomely designed book with a nautical theme that will appeal to any fans of boats, oceans, or maritime trivia. The color palette […]

White Night Melody Volume 1 by Selina Lin (amazon)
I have to confess, I found the first few pages of this manhua confusing. What I thought were elaborately dressed toddlers fight over some tiny glass slipper charms, the charms fall into a fish bowl, and suddenly the kids are teenagers, saying that they’re happy to be […]

Honey and Clover Volume 1 by Chica Umino (amazon)
I remember seeing plenty of buzz when it was announced that Honey and Clover was going to be added to the Shojo Beat line, and after reading it, I think the hype is mostly justified. I was intrigued by this title because although it runs in Shojo […]
