Don
't Blame Me GN 1-2
Even though it is one of her earliest, Don't Blame Me, nearly ten years later, continues to be one of Yugi Yamada's best. Highly recommended to anyone who likes slice-of-life manga…particularly to those who do not normally read BL. Yamada stretches the genre to its limits, and the results are simply not to be missed.

This volume can only be described as down-
Read Astro Boy for fun or for history—not for philosophical enlightenment packaged as classic manga.
Laya, the Witch of Red Pooh GN 1-2
The two-volume Korean manhwa series Laya, the Witch of Red Pooh is one of the most appealing titles you will ever have the privilege to flip casually through…and one of the most appalling titles you will ever have the misfortune to actually read.

Pumpkin Scissors DVD 4
Begins as slack as the last two volumes, but soon picks up with a story arc that returns to the themes of reconstruction and postwar readjustment that set the first volume apart, all while ramping up the action quotient.

Gun Blaze West GN 3
The saga of Nobuhiro Watsuki prematurely ending Gun Blaze West is probably more interesting than the saga of Viu Bannes actually traveling to Gun Blaze West.
