| This one I have to admit when I first saw the title I thought it was a hentai, so I stoutly avoided it for several months. When curiosity got the better of me and I finally did a little research I found this was not a hentai (to my surprise and relief, though it has an abundance of fan service) and was instantly interested in the story. The OVA’s are a continuation of the manga, which I watched first so was completely confused. After reading this short manga I’m still somewhat confused, but not nearly so. Congratulations to Akihiro Itou for good, solid artwork, coming up with a solid cast featuring mostly girls (with guns), rounding out the characters rather well, AND a humorous yet entertaining story. Really the only shortcoming of this series is the story’s a bit complex and is never fully explained, then it ends. It doesn’t really conclude, even in the OVA’s, it just ends. In conclusion good humor, good comedic timing, and good execution pretty much sums up this manga. |

| Gunsmith Cats (manga) |
Masterpiece |
| This manga is excallent, it's got guns, cars, and plenty of action and explosions (and it's based in Chicago). But definantly NOT for younger readers! Sonada Kenichi's artwork is first rate! it's sharp and clean, and he manages to capture just the right angle for his drawings. With a complelling and continuing storyline, and (best of all) the re-release of this gem from Darkhorse Manga (along with the previously un-released Burst chapter) this is a great addition to anyone's library! |
| Gunsmith Cats Burst (manga) |
Excellent |
| All I have to say is 'FINALLY! Took Darkhorse long enough to release it.' The final chapter in the extraordinary saga. I think through the years Kenichi Sonoda's opinion of organized crime may have softened somewhat and I do not like Misty's ending at all, I think it was a kick in the teeth for the readers to end it like that for her, one of the regular characters and my favorite side character, but that is a trait of Sonoda's to end the story not entirely happily. Even with that, this is one of the most well writen and illistrated manga or anime series I've ever read or seen. |

| Ranma ½ (manga) |
Excellent |
| In my oppinion this format for Ranma is better then it's animated couterpart, the gags just seem to work out better on paper the on TV. Both are great though, and Happousai is still exceedingly anoying while on center stage. |

| Saber Marionette J (manga) |
Good |
| This incarnation of Saber Marionette J is not nearly as good as the anime adaptation of it for a few reasons, some story inconsistencies and a few plot holes. However they did get Lynx name right, the anime translated it as Luchs. The first half of the series the anime sticks pretty close to, but at a faster pace, the second half goes in a completely different direction, so if you’ve seen the anime first this might surprise you. The story progression is a bit disjointed, the character development for everyone except the four main characters is a little flat, and all the marionettes except Cherry and Lime have Mega Boobs of Doom!!! (and Panther and Foust still have ridicules hair styles) The Artwork starts out a bit rough, but improves over the course of the series, overall a good read though. |

| Slayers: Super-Explosive Demon Story (manga) |
Excellent |
| An adaptation of the TV series adaptation of the books…… sort of the wrong order, but oh well. To start with this is a ‘flipped’ manga, which means everything is on the wrong side, quite annoying if you ask me. Another irk of mine is all the mistranslations in this; Sylarg instead of Sairaag, La Tilt instead of Ra Tilt, Flare Garve instead of Gaav Flare, the list is quite lengthy. Being an adaptation of an adaptation you’d think CPM would be able to get names right at least, DO SOME RESEARCH!! Aside from that and some departures form the original storyline, this is more great slayers action and comedy. |
