Case Closed GN 44
With an engaging hero, a combination of logic and knowledge, and stylized but pleasant art, Case Closed continues to be a diverting read. It won't fill the gap left by Tokyopop's Kindaichi Case Files, but if you're looking for something a bit mysterious, you could do far worse than Case Closed.

Wolf GN
Perhaps Wolf's greatest appeal should be in the fact that this is a sports manga in English, and not only that, but a good one.

Dorohedoro GN 7
It's got fighting action, personal drama, quirky humor, and science crossed with sorcery, with no particular aspect overshadowing any of the others.

Skip Beat! GN 29
With it's 29th volume, Skip Beat continues to charge ahead as one of the most enjoyable shoujo series available in English.

A Devil and Her Love Song GN 3 & 4
A Devil and Her Love Song manages to be set in school without being just another school story. While it has its flaws, like crowded pages and villains who reform too quickly, its heart is absolutely in the right place.

Ōoku: The Inner Chambers GN 7
Ooku is a story that is more interested in getting the facts straight than in telling a rip-roaring tale. It slowly meanders along, rich with details and delicately drawn, and while it may not be immediately apparent where Yoshinaga is going with it, it is an immersive and fascinating read.

Kaze Hikaru GN 20
Rich with detail but never overwhelming and full of likeable (and hateable) characters, this is shoujo that goes just a bit beyond the norm to bring us a story that we can really sink our teeth into.

House of Five Leaves GN 7
The flashback in the first half fills out a major character's past better than any conversation could, and a battle in the next-to-last chapter is the perfect payoff after such a long, dramatic buildup.

Detroit Metal City Sub.DVD
Vulgar and mean and misanthropic. Also inspired: a one-trick comedy that runs just long enough that it doesn't wear out its welcome and that contains just enough bitter truth that it cuts even as we laugh.

Bakuman. GN 15
Achieving success in the manga business is like scaling a challenging mountain—and as Bakuman shows, staying atop that mountain becomes its own set of challenges.

Death Note V4
Light is now the object of affection for a teen celebrity. Is Misa really a dream come true or just another part of Light's game?
