Manga Mentions 5.07
5.23.2007 7:05 AM \| Link	Here we go with five more blazing-quick manga reviews! Let's get the embarrassing stuff over with first. Suzuka Vol 2 was actually much tamer than the first volume, but I guess I'm really reading it because I hate not continuing once I start something. There's far less of the unsavory girls next door this time, leaving more time for Yamato and Suzuka to wonder what the other is thinking, so now I'll have to keep reading to find out if they ever start dating. Gacha Gacha: The Next Revolution Vol 2 has the typical hot springs story, but balances it out with a pretty funny and heartwarming Christmas plot, so it's not too racy. Dr. Slump Vol 12 is hilarious as usual, especially with the final story of King Nikochan returning to his home planet, and there are also some funny photos of Toriyama making fun of his typical workday. Genshiken Vol 8 finally gets interesting again (previously I was a little disappointed in the second arc of this story), since Ogiue and Sasahara finally confess to each other (in more ways than one)! It's a nice weird love story about coming to terms with geeky obsessions that I really enjoyed. Finally I decided to start a new series with To Terra Vol 1, mainly because I was itching for more science fiction and the cover design was so cool! The plot has a fascinating beginning involving telepathic powers in a computer-controlled society, and this is a nice thick volume that kept me busy for a while, so I'm looking forward to the next one!
