New Manga and Another Review Week

lindsay | October 14, 2010

By Mat K. Before we jump into the review, here’s what’s what with this week. There are a good handful of manga coming in this week, but that is all. I know the last couple weeks were a little bit spoiling what with the dozens of titles released at a time. I’ll mention a couple [...]

lindsay | October 6, 2010

By Mat K. So, there is a lot of interesting stuff coming in this week, surely not the kind of week to scoff at, and definitely the kind of week in which you should just muster the energy to get out of the house and come around here. I know, I know, it’s been rainy [...]

New Manga: Watch Out Fumi Yoshinaga, Natsume Ono Is On The Prowl

lindsay | September 9, 2010

By Mat K. I know this is a day late, but it is by far not a dollar short. You may have heard the sad news last week, and if you have not, let me break this gently. A Couple weeks ago on August 24th, the notorious anime director Satoshi Kon passed away from cancer. [...]

There’s No Such Thing As Too Much NGE

lindsay | September 1, 2010

Okay, well maybe there is, I mean I really could have done without Angelic Days, and I’m pretty sure The Shinji Ikari Raising Project was only a step above that, (by the way, if you didn’t know NGE means Neon Genesis Evangelion, which is frankly too long a title to fit anywhere other than body text). The reason I’m bringing up Evangelion is because, that’s right, there’s a brand new series! Neon Genesis Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse releases this week. Written and illustrated by someone only known as Ming Ming, which I sincerely hope is a pen name, or at least just a first name, this is a whole new spin on the fave series. In this new vision Shinji Ikari’s parents are gone, and he lives with his legal guardian, Ryoji Kaji, while attending the private NERV Academy. But no one ever told Shinji about its secrets . . . or that he’d find his fellow students Kaworu, Rei, and Asuka out on the streets late at night-fighting with sword, spear, and whip against an enemy that looks very human, but who Kaworu insists are beings called the Angels.
