Deadman Wonderland Volume 1 by Jinsei Kataoka and Kazuma Kondou
This title wasn’t on my radar before, but when I got it the cover design immediately caught my attention. Who was this disturbed boy with his hands on his head wearing a collar with a bar code? I was drawn into the story further when [...]

St. Dragon Girl, Volume 1 by Natsumi Matsumoto
This cute fantasy/martial arts manga is a good choice for the younger set. I seem to remember this title getting a few lukewarm reviews on other manga blogs. While St. Dragon Girl might not be for everyone, it will be a great title to check out for younger [...]
