Husband enters room holding a copy of Tennis Magazine. Me: They really oiled him up. Nadal. Him: That isn’t oil. He’s a beast. Me: A very shiny beast. No one is naturally that shiny. Him: That’s not oil. He’s a bronze god. Me: No one is that shiny naturally. Him: I am. I’m a sunbeam. I’ve been thinking of doing this for some time, and I finally went ahead with launching a dedicated site for all my manga reviews. You can find it at Manga Report. From now on, all my manga reviews will be over there but I’ll keep the archives of everything that I’ve posted here. As I [...] One of the tidbits that I was interested to read that came out of the recent NYCC conference was the fact that Yen Press is going to adapt Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate novels into manga. This should not be especially surprising, because Carriger is published by Orbit books, which is a division of Hachette [...] I think we’re slowly catching up to the Japanese release of this series since six volumes are out here now and there are nine Japanese volumes so far. This is still one of my favorite current shoujo series. Shinobi Life started out ok with the first couple volumes then really got much better with volume [...] Continuing on with my impromptu spooky manga for the rest of the month, I just finished reading Cowa! by Akira Toriyama.

But I thought I’d try to post reviews of manga that fit in the Halloween spirit during the month of October. Thus, Detroit Metal City #6! Detroit Metal City Volume [...] Kaze Hikaru by Taeko Watanabe This is a series that doesn’t knock you over the head with awesomeness but it gradually wins you over with its quiet charm. I remember liking the first few chapters of Kaze Hikaru when it started in Shojo Beat but I didn’t feel compelled to rush out and buy [...] Books The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins Leviathan by Scott Westerfield Manga 20th Century Boys #10 House of Five Leaves #1 Butterflies, Flowers #4 Arata #3 Gakuen Alice #13 Amber by Night Demon Sacred #1 and 2 Antique Gift Shop #1 We Were There #6 and 7 Hetalia: Axis Powers #1 [...] Vagabond Volumes 7 and 8 by Takehiko Inoue I’ve fallen behind with reading Vagabond, but that makes catching up all the more enjoyable since I was able to read 6 volumes of awesome sword fighting action all at once in these two omnibus editions. This is a series that I sometimes find difficult to [...] Amber by Night by Sharon Sala and Mayu Takayama I’m always on the lookout for fictional portrayals of librarians so there was no way I wasn’t going to read Amber by Night after reading this summary: Amelia is a typical bookworm librarian. But she has a secret. At night, she works as a provocatively [...] |
