5.23.2005 7:19 PM \| Link	One day recently when I was hanging out at Barnes & Noble, I picked up a copy of Shonen Jump, and after reading it, I decided to take the plunge into reading more manga. I had kind of been avoiding it, since I knew it would become a big habit, but now it's too late. I've started two series that had previews in Shonen Jump. The first is I''s (that's not a typo - it's a weird title with two apostrophes, pronounced ai-zu), which is a teenager love story - I can't help it if I like kiddie soap operas! The second is Dr. Slump, which is a an old manga by the creator of Dragonball Z about an inventor and his robot daughter. She's kind of like a much goofier female Astro Boy! It's totally mindless and fun, but I love all the crazy expressions of the characters. Manga books are small and printed Japanese-style (right to left, "back" cover to "front" cover), and now reading them that way seems natural. Now I can't wait for the next volumes of these series to come out! Labels: life
