Hmm, I smell another wonderful Tachikawa debate comming! Yay!
But I really haven't read any mangas in this weeks RTO, but the STONe thingie sounds interesting. I'll make note to check it out after I catch up on Shadow Star (just getting good).

STONe is a surprisingly good read. Too bad it's only 2 volumes. Sad

Is the cover for Instant Teen 1 the one shown in your column (and appearing on TP's website), or is it the cover showing up at online retailers: RightStuf, Amazon?

I'm a bit disappointed that Eerie Queerie is ending so soon. There wasn't enough development with the characters or the stories to warrant such an abrupt ending. And Mitsuo's bullsh*tting with his apparent love for Hasanuma bothered me a bit. Overall, it's not as funny or adorable as Gravitation and nowhere near as romantic as FAKE. 3.5 out of 5. Crying or Very sad

The cover for volume 1 is the one shown in the column.

Yeah, Eerie Queerie started out cute, funny, and full of potential. But, the last 3 volumes were just ridiculous. Like I said, I was disappointed that it ended the way it did.

And FAKE is a really good shouen-ai series... Anime smile

I will have to give STONe a read, as well as Instant Teen(everyone needs some sugar!) As for Mink, well I got a sample of that, and didn't like it much.

Quick question for everyone: Now that the month of August is nearly through, what release do you think was the best? For me it was Blade of the Immortal vol.13 hands down.

BLEACH volume 2. Simply because I love this manga. I used to read scanilations but now I collect Viz's version. It is really great, also a few other titles I forgot about, and some that I can't quite remember the name...

I'm glad a lot of the lesser known title are being review: Stone, Red River. But do we really need 3 review of Erriee Queerie. If someone already collect the first 3 volume, obviously they're gonna finish with the last volume.

Hopefully we can see more title like NAMBUL, or Kagerou than another review of Kenshin.

If it's possible, RTO tries to review every volume of what's being released. Obviously it's not 100% possible, but I try. A series may start out strong (like Eerie Queerie), but then totally plummet by the last volume. Also, since it was the last volume of the series, it was important to review it and let people know it was over. Other series may start off weak but pick up steam by mid series. I try to get in as many new series as possible, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. Especially during slow weeks. Sometimes we just have to make due.

As for Kenshin...it's a popular series, but a long one. People may want to pick and choose where to begin and where to leave off. Also, in the massive amount of shoujo series, it's nice to have something in there for the guys.

Kagerou Nostalgia has already been reviewed.

NAMBUL is a Korean title and may get included in another RTO Manwha Special.

I'll try and see what I can do. ^_^; I can't put every title in the column. I think I reviewed volume 2 a couple columns ago. If 3 doesn't make it in this column, I'll see if I can stick volume 3 or 4 in a later one.

Thanks!
