Dawn of the Arcana GN 10 This is one of the most interesting volumes of Dawn of the Arcana to date, with Nakaba showing serious growth and determination as she moves forward.
Pokémon Adventures: Heart Gold and Soul Silver GN 1 Fans of all things Pokemon should find this ninth title in the “Adventures” series an enjoyable romp. It has action, a little humor, and strategy, and if the opening chapters aren't the best hook, the book quickly improves.

Case Closed GN 47 Volume forty-seven of Case Closed continues the series' tradition of difficult but plausible mysteries and stylized artwork that makes for entertaining reading.
