manga only if I like it
Mizuh0 Kusanagi – Tokyopop – 2009 – 2 volumes
I reviewed this for the weekly Manga Minis column at Manga Recon, so you can check it out over there.
I loved the first volume, but really did not like the second, which was the conclusion to the story. It’s a real shame when that happens.
I'm sorry to say that Popcultureshock has closed its doors, meaning that updates will stop at Manga Recon. It was a fun site, and I'm sorry to see it go. I posted links to my last round of reviews there, and you can read some final thoughts from all the writers at the farewell roundtable.
Meanwhile, I need to get better at updating this space. The holiday slowed things down here a little, but I should be back to normal this week. I'm trying to clear a couple novels from my queue, and hopefully I'll be able to talk about The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya later this week. Somewhere, I have the final review of The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross too, and I need to post that. I also hear that the Manga Moveable Feast this month is Paradise Kiss, which is an all-time favorite of mine, and I think I'll be posting a series of reviews in celebration (and also because it's really sad that I haven't covered it here yet). We're discussing Banana Fish again this month too, so expect that roundtable discussion to be up sometime next week at the Manga Bookshelf.
