...I fail...
Anyways, one day me and my friend came across our city popular comic shop, and found manga on incredible sales! All the savings made the manga HALF-OFF!!, so me and my buddy spent ALOT of money on these treasures.
Of all the ones there, rather than buying SO many popular titles, I indulged and ventured into newfound territory and discovered manga no one's every heard of. At least around these parts.
There are a bunch of 3rd party manga I never knew of. I mean, everyone's heard of Tokyopop, VIZ, and now Del Ray, but Studio Cats? DMP? Dr. Master?
And so...manga review #1:
Enchanter - 1
Art & Story: Izumi Kawachi
Publisher: Digital Manga Publishing (DMP)
Rating: 10/10
Probably my new favourite manga right now, Enchanter is AMAZING in terms of characters, story, and art! A story about Haruhiko and Yuka, and their magic counterparts Fulcanelli and Eukanaria, in a story revolving around demons and school. The series in Japan right now is at 12, and over in these here parts, we're at lucky number 4! I WILL collect this series!
Hurrah! Sailor - 1
Original Story: Rintaro Koike
Character Design: Kouichi Kiga
Comic: Katsuwo Nakane
Publisher: Comics One
Rating: 7.5/10
A story about galactic wars and crashing on a serene planet, a unit trying to return home while living a peaceful life, the events in between are just TOO funny. I will continue this series, at least for 3 volumes!
Na Na Na Na - 1
Art & Story: Show=Tarou Karada
Publisher: Comics One
Rating: 7/10
Okay, I recently found out THE Ken Akamatsu-sama helped with this manga, so I am obviously going to hold this manga in high regards! Story about a "Negi/Keitaro" character who finds a "Mutsumi" android who promises each other several years back, and the "Naru" childhood friend tsundere. Again, hoping for 3 volumes.
Po Po Can - 1
Art & Story:Masakazu Iwasaki
Publisher: Comics One
Rating: 8/10
One of those manga where they kick logic to the curb, I love how zany they can make a generic and standard element. Going for 3! 3!
Free Runners
Art: Jennyson Rosero
Story:Bill Strauss
Publisher: Seven Seas
Rating:6.5/10
Only 1 volume, really, so how do I sum this up? Oh, yeah: Air Gear minus the skates.
Pretty Face - 1
Art & Story: Yasuhiro Kano
Publisher: VIZ
Rating: 10/10
While not a 'hidden gem', back in the days of unlicensed merchandise I found myself enjoying this work far before it transferred over to North American shores. A piece that rivals Midori Days, I like this one slightly more, due to the more possible situations. (Do I call a sex change more possible than a possessed hand? I do. And funnier at that.) 6 volumes, I believe, so I'll complete the set.
That's all for Manga Review 1!
