Manga Monday: Break of Dawn

I was immediately drawn to Break of Dawn, thanks to the promise of being perfect for Cowboy Bebop fans. Who could resist that sort of temptation, right? That said, I loved this tale much less than I hoped.

Manga Monday: Blood Blade Vol. 1

Dracula as a sword master in the modern world? Well, color me curious. Blood Blade Vol. 1 is a dynamic beginning to a world where Dracula has been reborn, again as a vampire, but this time as a woman with katana skills.

Manga Monday: Bless Vol. 1

Slice-of-life meets follow your dreams? Where do I sign up?! Bless Vol. 1 is a sweet introduction to a very human story. We have two characters who have deep desires about what to do with their lives - yet society keeps trying to pigeonhole them in a different direction.

Manga Monday: A Kingdom of Quartz Vol. 1

Angels and demons, what isn’t to love? But really, it’s the artwork that drew me into A Kingdom of Quartz Vol. 1. The promise just kept me invested. Having read the first volume, I can see why people are comparing it to Witch Hat Atelier (another favorite series of mine).

Manga Monday: Ashita no Joe: Fighting for Tomorrow 1

Over the years, I’ve learned that I’m terrible at reading/watching a lot of the classics. You know, the stories that affect pop culture for years to come? I’m trying to remedy that. So here I am reading Ashita no Joe: Fighting for Tomorrow 1. I should probably plan on checking out the anime, too, right?

Manga Monday: A-DO 1

I don’t know why, but while I was reading A-DO 1, I felt like this story I should have read/heard about ages ago (like when I first got into manga). Either it just has that vibe, or this is a new translation of a classic. I could see it going either way.

Manga Monday: Number Call

Okay, this is a cute story. Number Call may not be the deepest of romances (at least initially), but it is cute and sweet. Basically, our two leading gentlemen meet because of their name similarities (both being the number eight).
