There are some pretty good deals on manga on Amazon right now: $17 Drunken Dreams and Other Stories: It looks like several random volumes from ongoing series are at 40% off, like: Black Butler Alice in the Country of Hearts Hetalia: Axis Powers
Here are my picks for manga to give to people this holiday season! Here’s my guide from last year, in case you’re curious about my previous picks. We’re lucky to be living in an age of awesome omnibus editions, and I think they make awesome gifts for manga fans. The books on this list...
Today’s Saturday morning cartoon is one of my all time favorite anime series, Vision of Escaflowne: I might have been introduced to anime first by Robotech, but Escaflowne was the show that reeled me back in to watching it again after a long absence. I caught one of the episodes when it ran on...
Summoner Girl Volume 1 I think with this series, I have contracted a severe case of yokai fatigue. This manga probably won’t interest older readers who are already very familiar with monster hunting storylines from other manga, but I think it would be a fun read for younger readers. Hibiki is a summoner, given...
Hikaru No Go Volume 21 It has been some time since I’ve read Hikaru No Go. I started getting it when it came out and collected up to volume 11 or so, and stopped automatically buying it because I thought at some point I’d go back and fill in the missing volumes. Even though...
Today’s Saturday morning cartoon is the opening to the classic Super Dimension Fortress Macross! I recently finished watching this series for the first time since I saw the early Robotech episodes in 1985. I have very specific memories of going to my Grandma’s house after school and watching Robotech in her basement. I absolutely...
AX Volume 1: A Collection of Alternative Manga edited by Sean Michael Wilson I’ll be the first to admit that my tastes in manga are decidedly mainstream. I do enjoy the occasional wacky seinen title, but I generally read manga for my daily dose of escapism and don’t go out of my way to...
Karakuri Odette Volume 4 I think this takes the prize for most consistently charming shoujo manga. I mean, take a look at the riff on Revolutionary Girl Utena in the cover illustration. How cute is that!? Odette makes a new friend when she meets Shiroyuki, a rich girl who lives in isolation because she...
Itazura Na Kiss Volume 3 by Kaoru Tada The third volume of this delightful shoujo series opens with Kotoko and tennis club captain Sudou spying on the objects of their affection Irie and Reiko when they go out on a date. The hapless pair trail the dating couple to a showing of Edward Scissorhands....
Cross Game Volumes 1-3 by Mitsuru Adachi I will start off by saying that I really dislike baseball in real life. If I have to watch sports, I’m more interested in basketball, hockey, or tennis. So I am not necessarily the best person to review a baseball manga. On the other hand I remember...
