(The) Drops of God (manga) Good
I found this to be much more entertaining than I initially thought. There's this young man, who has a famous father. His father is a famous wine connoisseur and critic. During his childhood the son was put through rigorous training by this father. This was to help hone the boy's wine tasting skills. However, the son swore off wine, and had a falling out with his father. Years later, the father dies leaving behind a mysterious will - the son must discover the "12 disciples" and the "Drops of God" which are specific wines. Not too mention but there's an "adopted" son also competing. The adopted son is, himself, a very accomplished wine critic. Along the way, the biological son picks up a gal pal who's training in wine. There's several colorful older characters as well, to round everything out. And while I found all the long winded speeches about wine to be dry, the story is still very compelling.
Fushigi Yûgi (manga)
Happy Hustle High (manga)
Oresama Teacher (manga)
Skip Beat! (manga)
Trigun (manga) Very good
I checked out the first two volumes at my local library, but the others are never available when I go back. I'm thinking I'm going to have to buy this series, just so I can finish it. I already love the anime, but the manga is just as good. I find both Vash and Wolfwood, are darker. Vash, even though he's still a good guy in the manga, seems more angry. Wolfwood is actually a member of the gung-ho guns (he is a pupil of Chapel in the anime, so he's not technically a member). And he questions his motives less. Overall, I want to finish it.
