Mike gets in on the head-
Thermae Romae GN 2With its large size, glossy pages, and unusual subject matter, Thermae Romae is certainly one of the best looking manga on the market, to say nothing of one of the more interesting.
My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Episodes 1-
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.
If 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.
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.
Ristorante Paradiso Sub.DVDBetween Olga and Nicoletta's stagnant relationship, the fabricated and clearly typed charms of the men, and the way the show makes being a waiter sound like a vocation to which one aspires, Ristorante Paradiso is a show for a very clear set of viewers.
