Ōoku: The Inner Chambers GN 6While Ooku is still a slow moving tale of an alternate past, it also remains interesting and engrossing, particularly as we get closer to the series' starting point. Despite the difficulties inherent in the translation, it is a solid story of what might really have been behind Japan's closed door policy and an interesting study of who might have sat on the throne.
One Piece DVD Season 3 Part 5Unlike the last couple of arcs, the Navarone arc doesn't lean on the One Piece's formula; it plays around with it, tweaking it in interesting and amusing ways.

Itsuwaribito GN 3Itsuwaribito still has a strong premise behind it, but this series has no overarching storyline to bring everything together into a cohesive whole. Every time it shows signs of potential greatness ... it turns out to be a lie.

Bokurano GN 4
Volume 4 continues like the rest of Bokurano, looking deep into the characters' personal issues ... It may not get one's heart pumping with excitement, but it does get to one's heart.

Yu Yu Hakusho Blu-ray Season 1 Box Set
A well-tuned action machine: honest, unpretentious, and stripped of all the convoluted political BS that clogs so many of its peers.
Skip Beat! GN 24
If you've been enjoying Skip Beat so far, you'll enjoy this volume. Nakamura's twisted tale of vengeance is still a funny, somewhat romantic romp that remains capable of making you laugh out loud. With quirky characters, nice visuals, and a plot that hasn't gotten stale yet, this entry into the series won't lose any fans.

Fullmetal Alchemist GN 25
As the series hustles along towards its end, it almost feels like it would be better to wait for Viz to put out volumes 26 and 27 before picking up this one. It hurries along at a rapid pace, but with so many plot threads to tie up, it might be more rewarding to just wait for the series to be over.

The series slides effortlessly between calm slices of life and fired-up baseball action ... everything about Cross Game proceeds in a smooth, flowing motion, and that's what keeps readers hooked.

Pastel GN 9Anyone who expected more than mammaries, fannies and fluff from Pastel has long since abandoned the series, so those of you remaining know—and perhaps even enjoy—what this volume has to offer: mammaries, fannies and fluff.
