What looks like a Madonna (cf., big mall hair) (or fill in any eighties title or musical group or character here) (Baywatch?) space opera appears to actually be initially set in the eighties, though it also takes place in space and in King Arthur’s England. It’s a fantasy/science fiction tale with...
My Dead Girlfriend: Volume 1 "A Tryst of Fate"
| Author | Eric Wight |
| ISBN | 1598169963 |
I discovered Eric Wight when I stumbled upon his Frankie Pickle books and bought them for my son. I fell in love with his art and humour straight away and started looking for his other work, which led me to My Dead Girlfriend.
There is only one way to describe this book: cute.
I like cute....

Besides the spelling errors and not fully understanding where this was set until half way through this volume, I enjoyed this a lot more than the first volume.
The plot was better developed and left me wanting to know what the real mystery of this school is.
There were less characters to keep track...

More of the same but the book smartly does a segway to add variety.
World: The art is solid Shonen fare nothing to write home about. The world building is solid this time with some time out of the competition and into the culinary and also food world which is a nice change of pace. The fish market parts...

Second volume of maybe the most adorable shoji/romance manga I have read so far (which is not THAT much, but this one stands out for me). We have three central characters, Takeo, a 6'6", 265 pound guy who is all heart but not a likely romantic lead. He intervenes on behalf of (petite) Yamato who is being bothered...

It has been a long time since I read this - and it is one of the very few manga I read online.
My reason for reading this manga was that almost any manga I've read that included rape or abuse had reviews referring to this one stating that Bitter Virgin is a good example of realistic abuse. Now I cannot...

So, there was one thing I liked in this otherwise kind of flat volume, which is that the author is doing "something" with Fujiwara no Sai, and it promises to lead to some character development for Hikaru.
The thing is, Hikaru no Go is basically a cross between a bildungsroman and a typical adolescent...
