Okami HDOkami is beautiful regardless of platform, and this is not its first rerelease, but in widescreen and high definition every inch of it is beyond compare. Seeing it like this we are reminded that no one has done it better, even though they've had six years to try.
Oresama Teacher GN 9 & 10Overall these volumes provide more faint smiles than outright laughs and on the whole, Oresama Teacher is fairly unremarkable.
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.

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.
