Manga in the Mail: 13

Fan service, we guys love it. It's pleasing to see once in a while, however, if it's the backbone of any story, then it loses it's value. I'm happy to see fan service when they put it at the right place. This mangaka though, he seems to rely on his fan servicing skills to give him content.

Battle Vixens Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 13

Review: Kingyo Used Books Volume 1

"Why would there be manga at a goldfish store?" - one of the unique characters. (Kingyo = Goldfish) So yeah. A used bookstore that only sells manga and magazines that are solely for manga. What story is there to be told about that you say? A lot.

So, I hope by now you know that uhm... I... you.... me and you... I know we have a lot in common so uhm... if you want to maybe... 

Manga in the Mail: 12

Previously in... MANGA IN THE MAIL. Arisa said, "What a Wonderful World!" I hope you catch that because those two are both manga titles! Yes! Arisa by Natsumi Ando and What a Wonderful World! by Asano Inio. The later will be today's subject!

What a Wonderful World Volume 1 & 2

What is this title all about? Well, this is a Viz Signature title and the mangaka is really famous for his work Solanin and this title. I saw this, I remembered a user of a video sharing site recommending the mangaka's works so I went for it and what have I got to lose? I'm still craving for more slice-of-life titles so I picked this one up.

Review: Arisa Volume 1

First of all, Happy New Year and let's start our year off with a new series to review!

I recently received this in the mail and it's a shoujo manga. I love shoujo manga but the past 4-6 months are filled with action, shounen romance, seinen and battle manga. Lately, I've been craving for more shoujo manga so I think this is the right title to get me in the mood.

I've finished this volume last night and I'm really glad I picked this up. Awesome start of a series so buckle up! Let's dive in into shoujo territory!

Wishlist: Attack on Titan

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! BUY THE MANGA ALREADY!" is what you would say after seeing the title. Let's see, the anime really went well and it satisfied the hype, it also promoted the already famous manga. The first volume came out back in 2012 and I can say that it's pretty new and the only way I can get those volumes are through buying them NEW. People wouldn't sell them yet because it's still ongoing and it's a pretty epic title. As you know, I'm a cheapskate and I only buy used (except for the overstocks).

Attack on Titan Volume 1

Update: December 31, 2013

Hi readers!

I'm posting this as an end of the year update. Some of you may know this, I have a lot of material to work with BUT I don't know which one to do next. So, if you are curious about a title that I own, I would gladly accept your request and review it. I will attach the full list of my collection and I hope some people will cooperate! Please comment below if you are interested! Thanks!

-Chuk!

Review: Limit Volume 1

First off, have you read Battle Royale? If you haven't, why haven't you? I don't own it and I read it online *cough*illegally*cough* and finished it. Anyway, if you liked that title, then I'm sure you'll love this!

Warning! This volume contains graphic violence, verbal abuse and blood.

It's a shoujo manga despite it's serious, dark and somewhat horrifying atmosphere. It's mainly about the hunted being the hunter. This is too serious to be a shoujo manga, it should be a seinen series! I like shoujo but I don't think the young shoujo audience should read this. It's just too graphic. It also has a live-action drama that aired recently which is awesome! (I'm gonna watch it after I finish the whole series!) Anyway, come with me as I review the volume! Yeah!

Review: Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad Volume 2

Training for the swim team, learning how to play the guitar, playing with a band on-stage, skinny dipping with a really hot babe. Koyuki works hard and plays hard.

We're finally getting closer to what that cover art is trying to get at, Koyuki playing the guitar in a live setting. I wish I had more volumes of this title.
