Head over to Project Rooftop to look at a great revamp of Amethyst Princess of Gemworld as an all-ages title!
Gatcha Gacha Volumes 1-3
One of the problems with the the great manga boom in the past is that I think some good titles got lost in the deluge of new series. Gatcha Gacha is one of those series that I think deserves a second glance. This series was published by Tokyopop, and it probably wasn’t helped by the [...]
Bureau Chiefs talk Mad Men
I talk about the season premiere of Mad Men with some of the other Bureau Chiefs.
The Sheikh’s Reluctant Bride, The Shiekh’s Contract Bride, and Sale or Return Bride
I’ve been curious to check out the manga adaptations of Harlequin romance titles, and the folks at emanga were kind enough to load up my reading list with a sampling of titles, so expect to see a few reviews of these titles over the next few weeks.

Because now that I’ve finished volume 4 I can run out and get the next volume and enjoy more of the story. I [...]
New post on Bureau Chiefs Site
I write about Twin Spica from Vertical and Saturn Apartments from Viz’s Sigikki line. I liked one of these manga a lot and didn’t care for the other.
Johnny Boo Volumes 1-3 by James Kochalka

Right now their reading tastes tend towards wanting to be read various Thomas the Tank Engine stories over and over again, which is fine. But I’m curious [...]

Suppli Volumes 4 and 5
Suppli Volumes 4 and 5 by Mari Okazaki Wow, there has been a two year gap between volumes of Suppli. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that josei series simply don’t sell well here, so I’m happy with whatever I can get. I was worried that this series was going to be on permanent hiatus, [...]
