key-princess-story-eternal-alice-rondo-1-cover.jpg

I saw the first episode of the anime version of Eternal Alice Rondo back in January of last year, but I never watched past the first episode. I’ve had the manga version lying around and I figured I should give the series another shot.

The second volume of Alien Nine manga definitely takes the action and kicks it up a few notches! But don’t worry, there’s also enough emo crying to please fans of that genre, too!

The psychological warfare continues in Death Note Volume 4 with an added bonus: Misa Misa! That’s right, the manga finally has a cute character. Besides Ryuk, of course.

Kamichama Karin Vol. 1 – Manga Review

kamichama-karin-1-cover.jpg

Since the Kamichama Karin anime is in full swing over in Japan, I figured I’d check out the manga version. Because the book is always better than the movie, right? Especially when the production values drop.

Nodame Cantabile Vol. 3 – Manga Review

nodame-cantabile-3-cover.jpg

So one good thing (or bad thing, depending on your opinion) about the Nodame Cantabile anime is that they skip a lot of stuff from the manga. So you can watch the anime, then read the manga and still get new content! New filler content!

So Julie from MangaManicCafe had told me in the comments section of my review of Recipe For Gertrude 1 that the manga gets better as the story progresses. This was especially good news, since I thought the first volume was good to begin with! So yeah, here’s my review of The Recipe For Gertrude Volume 2.

Ah! My Goddess 2: Free Anime Download + Free Manga Day

ah-my-goddess.jpg

Continuing with the anime downloading theme from yesterday’s Death Note announcement, it looks like the first episode of Ah! My Goddess (well, the second season) is available at IGN. I haven’t seen the first season (I watched the OVA like 10 years ago), so this episode probably won’t make sense to me. It’s only streaming, which is kind of sad. Oh, and I remember watching some mini-goddess, too. That series was pretty funny, as I recall.

Oh, and speaking of free, tomorrow is Cinco De Mayo. Err… free comic book day! This should probably include some kind of manga as well. I missed it last year, and I have a feeling I will also miss it this year. Because who can be bothered to shop in physical locations when you have amazon.com?

Nodame Cantabile Volume 2 introduces two new cliche characters: the gay timpani player and the perverted master conductor. Did I write “cliche?” I meant weird.
