MediaWorks Announces Manga Versions of Light Novels
posted on 2007-06-07 21:45 EDTToradora!, Ōkami to Kōshinryō manga debut this summer
Japanese publisher MediaWorks has announced that two light novels (novels that usually feature a relatively high number of illustrations), Toradora! by Yuyuko Takemiya and Ōkami to Kōshinryō (Wolves and Spices) by Isuna Hasekura, will be made into manga titles. Such adaptations are not new to MediaWorks; the company previously adapted the Kino's Journey light novel to become a television anime series of the same name.The manga version of the romantic comedy Toradora! will be drawn by Zekkyō, who used to draw for the manga magazine Comic Rex. Ōkami to Kōshinryō, a fantasy tale about an intellectual wolf and her traveling companion, will be drawn by Kujibiki Unbalance manga artist Keito Kōme.
Both manga will eventually appear in manga magazines distributed by MediaWorks. Toradora! is scheduled to debut in the September issue of Dengeki Comic Gao! and Ōkami will debut in the November issue of Dengeki Maoh.Source: Golgo 31

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.

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.

The creators must have been hoping that viewers would be too distracted by all the talking heads lecturing on about wishes and free will to notice that this anime series is undistinguished in virtually every particular.
Minima! GN 1
An entertaining little ditty of a story that just goes to show that, once again, you should never ever judge a book by its cover. Minima!, much like its meerkat toy hero, comes to exuberant life when you're least expecting it.
