Years upon years ago, when I had just started watching anime, I come across a series called “E’S Otherwise.” I think I only saw the first episode, and then it happened to get licensed by ADV. Apparently the E’s manga is incredibly popular in Japan. Broccoli Books recently released the first volume for English consumption. Let’s see if I remember anything from the anime…
A Kiss For My Prince is a manga (or man-hwa?) that I’d typically not review. It’s shoujo (which technically, I’m not against…) and it’s also Korean, not Japanese. But hey, I got it from Infinity Studios so I figured I’d give it a quick spin…
Kekkaishi is one of the Fall 2006 anime that I didn’t watch. It’s also a long running shounen manga series by Yellow Tanabe with 7 volumes already out in the US. Since it’s sometimes nice to read the book before watching the story, I decided to hold off on the anime until finishing this book.
I had first heard of Kino no Tabi (Kino’s Journey) when it was released as an anime in 2003. I had seen one episode, but shortly afterwards, the anime got licensed, so I sorta forgot about it. Fast forward to October 2006, and the Kino no Tabi light novel is released in the US! I’m not a big novel reader, but stick the word “light” in the front and I’m sold!
My Kamui backlog is getting smaller and smaller. Currently, the manga is at volume 5, so I only have one more volume to go! Here’s my review of Kamui Vol. 4.
I really liked the Shinobuden anime (called Ninja Nonsense in the US), so I got totally stoked when I found out about a manga version being released! I ran out and bought the manga as soon as I could! Well, okay, I really bought it on Amazon since I couldn’t find it at a normal store. So how does the wacky ninja action work on print?
Now that all of the ninja know that the anti war pact is off, it’s time for everyone to flip out and start cutting off heads, right? Right!? Here’s my review of Basilisk Volume 3.
Like any normal guy, I like my fair share of girl meets girl action. Kashimashi has “girl meets girl” in the freakin’ title! Before even opening the book, I knew I’d like this manga; the question was how much I would like it…
Volume 2 of Basilisk contains more ninjas, more fighting, and more oppai! But does that make the anime better? (yes)
My brother, being the big Star Trek nerd that he is, bought the Star Trek manga that was released by Tokyopop to celebrate the 40th anniversary. He lent it to me to review, so here we go!
