News Japanese Comic Ranking, May 9–15
posted on 2007-05-17 01:20 EDT
The lack of major Shogakukan and Shueisha manga debuts allowed some of the other publishers to rise onto the charts, although four current or former Shonen Jump titles from last week carried over to this week. Tsukasa Hojo can still sell copies with his trademark hired-gun action stories, while Keiko Suenobu's unflinching look at adolescent Life is the sole shōjo representative. Keisuke Itagaki is one of the few artists who can put two titles from two publishers on the top ten list in the same week.

One Piece DVD Season 4 Part 4When the set ends, it's on a note of combined hope and sadness that drives us onto the next volume as surely as the mounting disasters of last volume drove us to this one.
Baka and Test OVA BD+DVDYou may not get anything substantial from this brief OVA, but it's a lot of fun to watch regardless.
Vampire Knight GN 15 & 16Overall these are both a good read and may help to renew flagging interest in the saga, particularly if you keep paying close attention to the details. The devil may not be in there, but some of the plot threads most certainly are.

The Flowers of Evil GN 5
Flowers of Evil reveals adolescent sexuality for what it really is: desperate, awkward, even embarrassing. These emotional mind games are what make the story irresistible.

Psychic Detective Yakumo Sub.DVD 1-3
Psychic Detective Yakumo manages to carry subplots through connecting episodes with an impressive smoothness and to maintain an even pace throughout, giving us a real sense of what the novels might be like rather than feeling like a rushed adaptation.

Sometimes spin-offs can be better than the original, and this A Certain Magical Index offshoot is one such case. Though not spectacular in any respect, it offers solid, consistent entertainment with flashes of stronger content.

The three stories in the OVA vary widely in tone and quality, as well as importance to the franchise, making this feel a lot more like a supplementary disc than a self-contained release.
