La Corda d'Oro GN 17For reverse harem fans or even those leery of the genre, La Corda d'Oro has consistently been an enjoyable story about both music and romance, and maybe even the romance of music. If its ending is not as conclusive as one might have wished, it is still a good one.
Sleeping Moon GN 1If you're looking for hardcore yaoi romance, this is not the series for you, but if you enjoy a supernatural tale with ominous overtones and the possibility of more serious romance in the next volume, give Sleeping Moon a chance.
Toriko GN 16As with most Toriko volumes, this is a book to gulped down rather than savored.
Ruin Explorers DVDIf you always thought about picking this title up but never got around to it then this is the version that you want. Newcomers will find a fun couple of fantasy adventure hours that will consistently entertain without straining your brain.
Flowers of Evil Episodes 1-With this omnibus, we find ourselves caring a lot more about what happens, not just in terms of the story, but to the characters as well.
Tragicomedy is not unknown in the manga realm, and Sankarea just may be a very good entry into that genre, and this introductory volume offers us sadness, hope, and humor with a dollop of fanservice to top it off.
A perfect storm of drama and action, back-
All in all this is a fairly solid bit of entertainment. If you like your stories dark with a glimmer of hope, Devil Survivor 2 should fit the bill.
Ragnarok The Animation DVD 2Although not entirely without entertainment value, these episodes offer little respite to those thoroughly disappointed with the first volume. It is a textbook case of how not to adapt an MMORPG into anime format.
