Sand Chronicles 7 by Hinako Ashihara As I was reading Sand Chronicles, I was reminded again how refreshing it is when shoujo series extend the time line of the story past high school. So many manga series end with high school graduation, but I like seeing the cast of Sand Chronicles as they move [...] Sexy Voice and Robo by Iou Kuroda It is the first installment of the Manga Moveable Feast, and the book picked was Iou Kuroda’s unique manga about a teenage adventuress named Sexy Voice and her older otaku sidekick, chauffeur, and occasional bodyguard Robo. Nico Hayashi’s part-time job is talking with random people on a [...] Natsume’s Book of Friends Volume 1 by Yuki Midorikawa I always tend to like manga about yokai or spirit hunters, especially when they incorporate interesting storylines and unexpected character designs. Natsume’s Book of Friends seems like a great addition to the yokai genre of manga. Natsume is a boy who was passed around from [...] All My Darling Daughters by Fumi Yoshinaga All the manga blogs love All My Darling Daughters, and I am no exception. This single volume would be a great first pick for anyone interested in sampling Fumi Yoshinaga’s work if they haven’t already. I sometimes have mixed feelings towards volumes of manga short stories [...] I previously enjoyed Asano’s Solanin. What a Wonderful World is an earlier work, but I didn’t realize until I read Shaenon Garrity’s review over at about.com that Asano was only 22 when he started working on this manga. It is unusual to get such a polished and accomplished work from such a young creator.

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 [...] Ôoku: The Inner Chambers Volume 2 by Fumi Yoshinaga I could see why people were annoyed with the choice for the characters to randomly speak in Elizabethen English in Ooku. For whatever reason it didn’t bother me that much in the first volume, I think because I was taking in all the details of [...] Butterflies, Flowers Volume 1 by Yuki Yoshihara It can be rough if you are a female manga fan of a certain age. While reading shoujo romance about high school students does appeal to my inner 14 year old, my inner 23-29 year old remains unsatisfied since there are so few stories about women [...] Vagabond Volume 4 by Takehiko Inoue I’m surprised that more manga bloggers aren’t writing about Vagabond. Maybe everybody already read the series when it came out in the single volume versions? Or perhaps it is just so obvious that Inoue is great that it is redundant to talk about how awesome this series [...] One of things I’ve become aware of as I link reviews on Manga Views is that I haven’t written about some of the series I really like. This is due to my tendency to focus more on first volumes of series and now I’m realizing that I haven’t written much about some of my [...] |
