Shirodaira, Mizuno's Spiral Alive Mystery Manga to End (Updated)
posted on 2008-04-17 08:01 EDT
Writer Kyou Shirodaira and artist Eita Mizuno will end their Spiral Alive mystery manga in the June issue of Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine, which goes on sale on May 12. The prequel series reveals more about the eerie group called the Blade Children that first appeared the original Spiral manga and anime series. Spiral: Alive began in Monthly Gangan Wing magazine before moving to the main Shonen Gangan magazine in 2006. Yen Press is publishing the original Spiral manga in North America, and Funimation released the anime version.
Update: Spiral's North American publisher corrected. Thanks, silverwings.

It's not just a recitation of giant robot battles and alien adventures, but an honest tale of love, friendship, and growing up, set against the backdrop of an epic planetary struggle.
What's going on around Arata seems interesting, yet it's hard to care when he spends the vast majority of his time whining about how betrayed he feels.
The Blu Ray version of this dark, graphic fantasy series about blond female warriors wielding big swords offers very little that the original DVD releases did not. Though the series shows pronounced shonen influences, it is still, at essence, a very human story, and that makes all the difference.
Does post-
Despite a flimsy premise and lackluster male lead, this story about a girl doomed to perpetually finish second to a chief rival who has secretly fallen in love with her (mostly) succeeds for two simple reasons: it is often quite funny and occasionally endearingly sweet.
