Manga Mentions 7.07 Part 2
7.22.2007 11:29 AM \| Link	It's manga time again! First up is Yotsuba&! Vol 4, which I was completely shocked to discover, since after the first three volumes were published in English, this title completely disappeared for months and months (I was even desperate enough to buy the next couple volumes in Japanese, but I'm really happy to have English translations to compare them with!). As usual, Yotsuba is completely laugh-out-loud funny, and in this volume she does some shopping, goes on a fishing trip, and gives some hilarious heartbreak advice! Densha Otoko Vol 3 finishes up my favorite version of the popular story, with a nice sub-plot about one of Densha's net friends being real-life friends with Hermes' sister, and the actual end of the story is really sentimental and well done. Buddha Vol 4 gets even more interesting because of some fascinating side characters, such as the wise yet goofy Assaji and the misunderstood giant Yatala, and Siddhartha finally achieves enlightenment at the end of this volume. I''s Vol 14 focuses mostly on Aiko (the girl next door) who is developing a crush on nice guy Ichitaka, while Iori's manager keeps sabotaging things (causing me to yell at the manga while reading it!). Finally, Death Note Vol 11 moves slow (certainly the norm recently), but is definately heating up for the final showdown in the very next volume! Light and Near are ready to face-off, now that they have discovered practically everything about each other. There's nothing like a huge cliffhanger to keep me interested! Labels: manga
