Dengeki Daisy GN 11Dengeki Daisy began as a romance with some computer crimes thrown in and has morphed into an action story with some romance thrown in. What remains true, however, is that Kyousuke Motomi has created an interesting, fun story with memorable characters who do their best, whether it's for good or ill.
Limit GN 4The addition of a murder-
Strobe Edge GN 2 & 3Strobe Edge continues to be a thoughtful manga about a girl discovering what it means to grow up. Featuring actual nice guys (at least so far), both a heroine and a rival who are sympathetic, and attention to detail, this is a series that romance fans and those borderline sick of romance should enjoy.
Girl Friends GN 2More than a successful yuri story, Girl Friends is a successful love story. By taking into account the girls' friendship, and therefore their genuine fondness for each other's personalities, Morinaga gives us a story with characters in a relationship that is both more believable and easier to get behind than in many a romance manga.
Demon Love Spell GN 2Demon Love Spell may not be quite as unusual as it began, at least within the catalog of Mayu Shinjo, but it is still a fun story that lacks many of the things that can make her work distasteful.
Stepping on Roses GN 8 & 9
If Stepping on Roses got too melodramatic for you a while back or you could never quite come to terms with Sumi's personality, the ending might not thrill you. But those readers who have been enjoying Ueda's ode to the 19th century melodrama with a shoujo sensibility will find the majority of the conclusion to be downright satisfactory, if not a little better.

GTO: 14 Days in Shonan GN 7
It may look like a silly, lowbrow action series on the outside, but once again, it surpasses expectations on the inside.

The Limit GN 3
Limit continues to do what Keiko Suenobu does best – highlight the very real problems of adolescence. The survival story helps to make the story more palatable to those outside her usual readership, combining teen angst with adventure to create a compelling read fraught with perils both physical and emotional.

Sakura Hime: The Legend of Princess Sakura GN 9
Overall Sakura Hime's ninth volume manages to be a very good read with the stakes getting higher for those Sakura loves and a very real new threat to contend with surfacing at the last minute.

Shin chan Dub.DVD Season 3 Complete
Funimation's irreverent approach to the series hasn't changed, and that means that the show's appeal, and its drawbacks, remain largely the same. With one notable exception: the novelty has long since worn off.
