Panic X Panic GN 2
The best thing that can be said about Panic X Panic is that it is mercifully short: the suffering ends after just two volumes and there's no need to even read the one-shot that fills up the rest of this one.

Ghost Hunt GN 11
While a pleasant throwback to earlier stories, it's all the more depressing that this eleventh volume is so lackluster in comparison and likely the last we'll ever see of this once loveable cast of ghost hunters.

Vampire Knight DVD 3
Perhaps aware that its love triangle was eating it whole, this is the show setting out to prove that it can move beyond lovelorn teens and perverse romance and still succeed. The short of it? It does.

How to Draw Shojo Manga
More than just a guide for shojo specialists, this book offers advice that applies to all types of manga—and where better to learn from than real industry insiders?

Butterflies, Flowers GN 5
While it's very serious and dramatic at times, the book never lets you forget it's intended silliness, ensuring throughout that even the most potentially steamy moment simply bookends one far less serious.

Sekirei DVD
The overwhelming fanservice means the show isn't for everyone, but for those so inclined, it's a rewarding series with a big heart and plenty of powerful emotion.

Nyan Koi! DVD
A young man allergic to cats must fulfill the wishes of cats or become one himself in this variation on a standard harem romantic comedy. Although it is certainly capable of being funny and sexy and does have its moments, there are definitely funnier, sexier, and better-looking recent series of its type.

Real GN 9
In a series full of ups and downs, this part is more of a plateau, tilted slightly upward ... instead of something happening in one incredible flash, big changes often take place through small, incremental steps.

Kaleido Star DVD Season 1
Perhaps it's heavy-handed, but few series argue as powerfully for the dogged pursuit of dreams, and fewer still as entertainingly.

Our Home's Fox Deity Sub.DVD 1
The wonder of Our Home's Fox Deity is that it somehow makes its dismal premise not just painless, but thoroughly pleasant.

Shakugan no Shana GN 1
A ripoff of Bleach, except the main girl is cuter.
