Manga Mentions 2.07
2.02.2007
9:34 PM | Link
I've just finished another five volumes of manga, so it looks like it's Manga Mentions time again! xxxHolic Vol 7 definitely made me glad that I started reading this series, since I'm just now settling into the style of artwork and appreciating its beauty. Yuko-san is looking sexier all the time, and the stories continue to be spooky (especially one about a "living photo"). Train Man Vol 2, while being my least favorite of the current Densha Otoko versions, was still really cute, showing a couple more promising dates, but not focusing enough on the lives of the side characters on the internet. I''s Vol 11 finally gets around to the inevitable when Ichitaka and Iori actually figure out they love each other! But now Iori's potential idol career is taking off, so they have to hide their relationship from the public, which seems to be the next arc of this series. As if the original Gacha Gacha manga wasn't embarrassing enough, I still had to check out Gacha Gacha: The Next Revolution Vol 1, which is about a guy who switches gender every time he sneezes. I'm sure they will explore every possible racy situation this will allow in this series, and I will blush every time! Finally, I absolutely loved Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix Vol 9, which contains two fascinating stories with karma themes. I especially enjoyed Strange Beings, which contains an incredible time loop plot. Tezuka's thought-provoking work definitely makes up for all the other goofy manga I'm reading!
