The Legend of Chun Hyang by Clamp (amazon)
I tend to enjoy most Clamp manga, but one thing that’s frustrating is the amount of unfinished series that they’ve put out. This book was so fun to read, I wish that the series had continued for more than one volume. The Legend of Chun Hyang is Clamp’s […]

This is what I’m ordering from an online purveyor of comics in May:
Comics:
ZOT Vol. 1: Complete Black & White Stories 1987 to 1991 - I have most of the single issues for Zot! but I’m looking forward to being able to sit down and read them in a collected edition.
All Star Superman
Manga, new series:
SUGAR PRINCESS […]

Foxy Lady Volume 1 by Ayun Tachibana (amazon)
With a title like “Foxy Lady”, I was halfway expecting this manga to be about the misadventures of an attractive woman in the 1970s. Since this is manga, the book is an example of the mystical girlfriend subgenre of shonen manga, where an ordinary schmo suddenly finds himself […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Teru Teru X Shonen: Volume 1 by Shigeru Takao (amazon)
Sometimes when I do my monthly DCBS manga order, I’ll throw in a first volume of a series randomly just to try out something new. Sometimes I luck out and find series that I really enjoy, and other times I end up with a dud. […]
