| Yotsuba&! (manga) | Masterpiece | Yotsuba&! is the funniest manga I've ever read, hands down. Anyone who has spent any amount of time with young children will easily be able to relate to the series. The art is pretty distinctive, if not really "beautiful" in the traditional sense. It's detailed and expressions and meanings are easily read through the panels. I've caught up with the English releases and fortunately Yen Press has rescued this series from the defunct ADV manga, so now I can continue reading this gem in the future. It is not to be missed. |
| Dogs: Bullets & Carnage (manga) | Good | This manga is all style and little substance. There's a plethora of action, in fact action scenes dominate the narrative. Fortunately, the cast is populated with memorable characters. So, even if I forget the gist of the plot, as long as I remember who's who I shouldn't have a problem sorting it out. I've read up to volume six now and I'm on board for more. |
| Kingyo Used Books (manga) | This is a manga for people who love manga and books in general. It centers around a used manga store and the people who work and shop there. Each chapter is a self contained story. I've honestly never heard of many of the series discussed here, but even so I find this series interesting. I suppose I just like reading about books. I doesn't hurt that the art is clean and attractive as well. This is released slowly, about two volumes a year, but I end up reading each new volume as soon as I get it. | |
| Chocolat (manhwa) | Very good | This is a fun little romance series. Kum Ji is a superfan of the boyband DDL and gets mixed up with another boyband group in her attempts to get closer to them. Hijinks ensue. The characters are interesting and decently developed instead of one note stereotypes. Kum Ji is a plain, plucky sort who doesn't take any crap and is very easy to root for. Unfortunately, the artists are no longer working on this series so it doesn't have an ending. I hope that they someday go back to this one because I really liked it and it would be nice to know how the love square turns out. |
| Gantz (manga) | The premise of Gantz is really interesting. The newly dead wake up to find themselves in an empty room, except for a giant sphere, that gives them directions and gear and tells them to kill space aliens. The violence is over the top and the fanservice is kinda gross, yet it was entertaining. The characters are horrible though. Most of them are just there as cannon fodder, they get a cursory intro before getting wasted. The lead, Kei Kurono, is a self absorbed little punk. I also got the feeling while reading that the cool set up was never going to be explained. It seemed like the series was just going to be a gorefest without much actual story. At this point, I'm not sure I want to continue... UPDATE: I picked this back up with volume eight, the end of the Buddha arc, where the anime ends. After going through so much, Kurono's character is a little more sympathetic, and he's a lot more palatable as a protagonist. The art is great, although I could do without the constant topless pinups that have nothing to do with the story. It's off-putting and the mangaka's creepy breast obsession spills into his author's notes in the back. It may as well have a "no girls allowed " warning pasted on the front cover. Despite the juvenile tone, the story is action packed and fun, and at this point I'm willing to just go with the flow. I'm on board for more. | |
| Finder (manga) | Very good | The Finder story only takes up half of this first volume; the rest is a bunch of shorts. Fortunately, this title has been picked up by DMP, so I don't have to track down those super costly out of print CPM volumes. I'm happy to be able to read more of this as the art in particular was stunning and I'm interested to find out where this story is going. |
| (The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (light novel) | So far, I've only read the first book. I thought it was excellent. It is written in first person, with Kyon as the narrator, much like the anime. Kyon's sarcastic tone conveys well through the translation. The anime is a very faithful adaptation, so fans of that (like myself) should definitely read this. | |
| Trinity Blood (manga) | Good | I still haven't read the novels that this manga is based on, but I did watch the anime. I must make note that the manga is far superior to the anime. The story is set in a sort of futuristic yet still kinda historic Europe in which the Vatican is at odds with a neighboring country ruled by vampire aliens. It sounds convoluted but somehow all these elements work together to build a rather unique world. The cast is very large, yet the characters are all so interesting to me that I can't help but keep reading even through a less interesting story arc. The art is absolutely beautiful, with attractive and unique character designs dressed in elaborate costumes. Fortunately, this series is also being published in English in Singapore, so I don't have to rely on Tokyopop to collect this manga. As soon as volume 14 is available, I will import it. |
| Loveless (manga) | I almost don't know how to describe Loveless, as it was very strange. The cat/dog people, the ambiguous genders, and the unexplained magic all combined into a manga that is somewhat unique. I enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately, I got to the end of volume 8 before I realized that this series is unfinished, as it just sort of stops there. I hope TokyoPop publishes more as I really want to see what happens. Loveless contains some of the more memorable characters I've encountered in manga recently and I'd really like to see how their story ends. | |
