xxxHOLiC
GN 12
xxxHOLiC has often been about the interaction between humans and the spirit world, but this time the series outdoes itself by breaking into the world of dreams.

Treasure - The Laughing Target
Anime horror is not easy to do, but somehow Laughing Target manages to maintain a level of creepiness throughout, and its 1980s production values only add to it.

While the onslaught of squealing moe-
If the thought of the plot hitting a sprinting stride as more transforming robots wage war on newer and weirder monsters and dinosaurs (dinosaurs!) enter into the mix doesn't get you salivating, then don't bite. Please. It's for your own good.

Nodame Cantabile GN 14
After the awkward meandering of the last couple of volumes, it's nice to see Nodame Cantabile back on track with Nodame and Chiaki trying to advance their music careers. Whether you're into it for the unique characters, the expressive performances, or both, this volume has it covered.

Monster GN 16
After over 130 chapters and fifteen compiled volumes, even Naoki Urasawa, a mangaka of prodigious storytelling talent, is having trouble holding it all together.

Fans of harem romantic comedies might be able to tolerate this bland and uninspired exercise in brazen stupidity, lame jokes, and disgusting sweetness. All others should stay well away.
