Manga time again
7.31.2006 8:11 PM \| Link	Guess it's time for a quick manga roundup again! Recently I've read Hikaru no Go Vol 7, which is definitely interesting, but lately it hasn't held my interest as intensely as before. I think it should either pick up the pace with Hikaru's progress, or maybe start another subplot or two. Anyway, maybe it's just a mid-series lull. Genshiken Vol 6 was funny enough to read in a single sitting, and I'm really wondering how the story will change since a few of the characters have graduated. I think Sasahara's sister is hilarious, so I hope she keeps showing up. I'm also in the middle of Phoenix Vol 7, which is downright huge and magnificent! Finally, I started reading the Azumanga Daioh manga, mainly because I had a Borders coupon that I had to use, but I'm so glad I picked it up! Of course, I love the anime, but the manga is charming in a totally different way! Almost the entire thing is written in small four-panel strips, so it ends up feeling like reading Peanuts to me. It's fun to see the source for a lot of the gags in the anime, but of course there are lots of fun strips that are totally new to me. It's the perfect anime to read for five minutes before you have to leave the house or something - I'm definitely getting the whole series! Labels: manga
