I reviewed this volume for the minis column at Manga Recon that went up on Monday. You can read it here.
Yeah. I like this series a lot. It does some bad things, but then when I get volumes like the past couple, I forget that there are 500 characters floating around that may re-enter the story at any time. All I care about is Taikobo.
I also updated the Friday Feature on spine art from a couple weeks back. Somehow I forgot to include Princess Knight, so I've fixed my oversight.
And speaking of Tezuka, perhaps you would like to help fund the making of the English translation of Barbara? See DMP's Kickstarter page for details. I'm pretty excited about the implications of successful drives like this. This one was funded in a little over 24 hours, and the one DMP did before this to fun the reprinting of Swallowing the Earth was also successful. I'm looking forward to seeing what other marginal projects might benefit from this type of project.
You can do searches for things like authors, publishers, and keywords now. It help to put your search in quotations, since a search for Kaori Yuki will also return series for Kaori Yanagida, Kaori Ozaki, Yuki Nakaji, and Yuki Obata, but "Kaori Yuki" will only return reviews where I talk about her and her series.
Also, clicking on a series name in a post will, for some reason, take you to a page with every single post on that subject on wordpress.com. To see other reviews on Slightly Biased Manga, use the series links in the sidebar.
