Naruto GN 28Naruto's heretofore white spine has become black, and Naruto is back! Volume twenty eight corresponds to the beginning of the Naruto: Shippûden anime series, and although you cannot really begin the series from this point and expect to understand or appreciate everything that occurs subsequently, there is a genuine sensation of reinvigoration to be found here.

Nightmare Inspector GN 2-3
Sinister shopkeepers hawking supernatural goods and/or services have become a popular staple of manga. Shin Mashiba's Yumekui Kenbun: Nightmare Inspector continues this venerable tradition of the paranormal, and for a debut manga series, it is pretty darn good.
Aquarion DVD Set 2
Despite remarkable efforts in sounds and visuals, the second half of the series only partly overcomes the flaws of the first half. It has its moments and does offer legitimate entertainment value but is ultimately forgettable.

MPD-Psycho GN 5
After an incredibly strong—if controversial—start, Eiji Otsuka's tense plotting of MPD-Psycho had been slowing down to a episodic series of serial killers who always seem to get offed themselves after their creative killing sprees. Fortunately for readers who have been fast growing impatient with this superficial spectacle of grotesquery, volume five throws out a bit of intriguing new plot on which to ruminate.

Three more girls get featured as the series nears its end. While not brilliant, the episodes in this span provide solid, pleasant entertainment occasionally punctuated by touchingly emotional moments.
