Fall
in Love Like a Comic! GN 1-2
“Fall in love like a comic”…? What a joke. It's just a shame that it could not have been “fall in love for real.” If it had, maybe there would have been more to enjoy about this sorry excuse for a shoujo series.

Garbage - Dog Soldier
This month's piece of old-school trash is Dog Soldier, the awful Rambo-cum-City Hunter OAV that tries to be intelligent and fails spectacularly.

Fall in Love Like a Comic! GN 1-
Claymore GN 12Interesting story developments and new characters, combined with all of the elements that made previous volumes a hit, should easily allow this volume to maintain fan enthusiasm for the series.
Walkin' Butterfly GN 1It is not every day that one stumbles across a josei manga that will undoubtedly have both guys and gals cheering from the rafters for the protagonist. Run—don't walk—for your copy of Walkin' Butterfly.
Monster GN 14-
Hell Girl DVD DVD 5-
CY-Believers GN 1
This shojo romantic comedy about a spunky girl who establishes a new school club partly for self-defense against an overzealous fiancé somehow manages to be more interesting and entertaining than it feels like it should be.
Mushishi GN 4
One Del Rey editor is on record saying that Mushishi “was something we had to do for the readers of tomorrow.” Read it and see for yourself why it's worth being handed down to the next generation.

Honey and Clover Sub.DVD
A whimsical romantic comedy about five art-college students, it's possessed of a sweet romanticism, tinged with melancholy, and driven by events unpredictable enough to be called realistic.

Fujoshi Rumi GN 1-2
Those not familiar with otaku culture should use caution when approaching Fujoshi Rumi. Humor that has to be explained isn't funny, and you are unlikely to fully appreciate these books unless you're already a card-carrying otaku.
Ragnarok The Animation DVD 3
Given the epic awfulness of the first two-thirds of this series, it comes as no small surprise that this concluding third actually does not (entirely) suck. It actually manages some good moments in ascending to the level of mediocrity.
Given the epic awfulness of the first two-
Ai Yori Aoshi GN 15A major plot development sure to shake readers out of the doldrums of the past few volumes arises as the story returns to its roots in preparation for its end run. If you've lost your enthusiasm for this title, this volume may restore it.
