Manga Mentions 7.07 Part 1
7.06.2007 5:09 PM \| Link	I got a little confused with my last Manga Mentions post, since I had forgotten to write about some other volumes that I had read previously. Anyway, this is kind of a catch-up post, since the manga just keeps on coming! I'm still enjoying the saga of Ichitaka and Iori in I''s Vol 13 (though it feels like it should finally end soon), and it's been interesting comparing it to Video Girl Ai (by the same mangaka). Sticking to romance, Kaze Hikaru Vol 5 reslly starts developing since Saito realizes he loves Sei (setting up a love triangle), and continues with more historical information, including katakana techniques this time. Kaze Hikaru is a brilliant story, and it's tough to keep waiting on the next volume! Death Note Vol 10 starts off a little boring, because the rules are getting a little ridiculous at this point, and too much time is spent in long thought baloons, but things get better at the end with the introduction of some new characters to help Light. Buddha Vol 2 (yes, I have already mentioned Buddha Vol 3) was spectacular not only because of Tezuka's incredible artwork, but also because of the emotional situations of young Siddhartha's princehood, resulting in his rejection of his family to become a monk. Finally, I broke down and read Nodame Cantiable Vol 1, both because I enjoyed the Nintendo DS game and because Mikie is such a fan, and I really enjoyed it. All of the classical music mentions really make it interesting for me, and following the lives of music students is a great change from the usual high school romance! Labels: manga
