To Terra Roundtable
I took part in the To Terra Roundtable hosted at the Manga Critic.
Bargain Manga and Manhwa
I’ve posted before about BookCloseouts.com, they sometimes have good deals on remaindered manga. Usually they have tons of older Tokyopop stuff, but I just noticed that they added some titles from Yen Press too. If you’re looking for deals, this would be an easy way to pick up some manhwa like Forest of Grey City [...]
Rereading To Terra
I’ve read all three volumes of To Terra before, but I haven’t posted about it very much on this site. For an introduction to the manga, hop on over to the inaugural post of this Manga Moveable Feast over at The Manga Critic. When I read the series again these were the things that stood [...]
Fruits Basket Banquet and Songs to Make You Smile
Like most people, I’m probably more interested in Takaya’s post-Fruits Basket work than her earlier series. Tsubasa: Those With Wings had some flaws, but overall I enjoyed reading it. For some reason I just couldn’t get into Phantom Dream. I’m very curious to check out her newest series Hoshi wa Utau if it ever gets [...]
Neko Ramen #1
Neko Ramen Volume 1 by Kenji Sonishi I haven’t read very much 4 koma (four panel style manga) but I’ve often thought that if manga were to crossover to a more mainstream audience, this format might encourage it. Arranged like a typical newspaper comic strip except generally oriented vertically, it theoretically should be easier for [...]

Swan Volumes 12 and 13
One of the series that I’ll miss the most with the passing of CMX is not being able to read the end of Swan. I remember being at ALA shortly after CMX launched and they were giving out copies of Swan and From Eroica With Love. I remember reading and liking both first volumes in [...]
Farewell CMX
Like most people in the manga blogosphere, I was disappointed to hear that DC Comics decided to get rid of CMX. Dead/dying publishers like Aurora and Go Comi have been silent for months, but CMX was still soliciting new titles so hearing that this publisher was ceasing to exist was an unpleasant shock. In retrospect, [...]
Alice in the Country of Hearts Volume 3
Alice in the Country of Hearts Volume 3 by Quinrose and Hoshino Soumei Three volumes into this series and I’m ready to completely give up on my initial hesitation about liking a reverse harem dating sim manga adaptation set in the world of Wonderland. The authors keep things interesting by dropping hints of mystery along [...]
