07-Ghost GN 6 With this volume, 07-Ghost proves that the storyline can change gears and still come up with something compelling and meaningful.
Toriko GN 17 Although Toriko is still very much about eating, fighting, and exploring, it breaks new ground in Volume 17—a giant waterfall emerges as Toriko's next great foe.
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.
Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry Blossoms Pink GN Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry Blossom Pink can get a little too pretty at times in its artwork and is a bit broken up as far as the best and longest story is concerned, but it is still a book yuri fans or the yuri-curious should check out.
Sailor Moon GN 11 & 12 Sailor Moon's finale has its moments of corniness, but overall it is a strong finish to the manga that launched a thousand imitators.
Killer is Dead Grasshopper's motto is "punk's not dead," but Killer is Dead forces the question "which parts are punk and which parts are pandering?"

Kikaider DVD 1 ...if you like your anime slow and deliberate, with a lot of philosophical undertones about man's relationship to machine and the discovery of repressed emotion, Kikaider might be for you.
