20th Century Boys (manga) Excellent I have one big problem with this manga : the publication of the dutch edition doesn't go fast enough ! I'm wondering since the second volume what more can be told in later volumes, but the author manages to make the story intriguing and thrilling enough in every new volume.
Aria (manga) Excellent Even though the manga is not really adventurous, and only contains simple storylines, and drawings of Neo-Venezia made me remind my holidays in the real Venice. It's a personal feeling, but the atmosphere is very good and enjoyable to read.
Bondage Fairies (manga)
Gakuen Heaven (manga by U-Jin) Good A love comedy harem-type in a school setting with (of course) only female students. We all know that U-Jin has a passion for drawing beautiful women, but there's room for a decent story which follows the typical pattern of this kind of manga, but with a sense of humour which can be very humorous at times. Not a classic, but very enjoyable.
Hinadori Girl (manga)
Manga Sutra Very good Not sure whether or not this belongs in the 'adult' section, since this gives the impression of being a perverted story with lots of sex. Agreed, it's full of naked breasts, and it describes/depics sexual intercourse in all its aspects, but I've seen many non-adult US movies with more breasts, and people doing a lot of things "under the sheets". Futari Ecchi has no explicite pictures of human genitalia (although the picture of a banana might inspire you to think further), and the story focusses on daily life of a married couple, emphasizing on the possibilities, but also difficulties you might encounter in your sexual life. Funny written, nice drawn, entertaining and educating at the same time.
Mystical Prince Yoshida-kun! (manga) Not really good Kind of childish manga, but just good enough to read in small-places-where-you-have-to-spend-your-attention-on-other-things.
New Vampire Miyu (manga)
Oku-sama wa Joshi Kōsei (manga by H Kobayashi) Very good Love story with a lot of humor and very well drawn. An extra point for the beautiful french edition.
One-Pound Gospel (manga)
Ranma ½ (manga)
Ray (manga) Thrilling, compelling, exciting... until you reach the end of book three and notice that the English publication stops here. What a shame ! I'll have to get the french edition to contionue, because this is the kind of story I want to read 'till the end. (read in September 2006)
Rumic Theater (manga)
Say Hello to Black Jack (manga)
Seraphic Feather (manga)
Silky Whip (manga) Decent For a hentai manga, it's more than I expected. Not only is the art Oh! so Great (stupid pun, I know), but the stories have a certain morality which let's you forget the (logical) free sex a bit.
Tanpenshu (manga) Very good Collection of short stories. Somtimes hilarious (High School Girl 2000), sometimes very serious (Platform). Overall very variety in content, but all with the same high quality. Although the art is not what I prefer in general, I was sold at the end, which is due to the quality of art which fits the stories perfectly. (read on 14/9/2008)
