Stray Little Devil Vol. 2 – Manga Review

The author of Stray Little Devil mentioned in the afterword that panty shots weren’t allowed in this manga. I hadn’t really noticed, but maybe that means it’s time for me to stop reading this…

Penguin Musume (ペンギン娘) Vol. 1 – Manga First Impressions

I just got a shipment from Yesasia of random stuff. It consisted of Disgaea PSP, and this random manga I bought called “Penguin Musume.” It’s in Japanese, so it’ll take me a while to read it. I did get through a couple of pages, so here are my first impressions.

I already gave my impressions on the D.Gray-Man anime a while back, but I never watched more than the first episode. I just finished reading the first volume of the manga. But was it any better than the anime?

Stellvia Vol. 1 – Manga Review

I think I watched one episode of the Stellvia anime before calling it quits, but the cover of the manga was just way too cute to ignore. Apparently, this manga came after the anime. That doesn’t mean it can’t be better, though.

welcome-to-the-nhk-vol-2-cover.jpg

Welcome to the NHK Volume 2 contains more sex and drugs, but considerably little (if any) rock and roll. Oh, and things get even more messed up for Satou, if that’s even possible.

The Recipe For Gertrude is not a cookbook, but a manga. And here I was thinking I’d be able to cook for Gertrude. Or cook a Gertrude…

I Figured Out Why The Lucky Star Anime Isn’t Funny…

lucky-star-1.jpg

It’s because the source material isn’t funny. I just read a translation of the few pages of the Lucky Star manga. The 4-koma did not inspire a laugh, chuckle, or even a grin from me.

It’s like the episode of Seinfeld (yeah, I know I already compared Lucky Star to Seinfeld) where Elaine goes to the New Yorker and tries to get them to explain their comics. She eventually finds out that the comics are in fact, not funny. The guy just likes the kitty. The same goes for Lucky Star, except that instead of a kitty, it’s that girl that sorta looks like Pleinair

This makes me especially sad, since those yuri-repurposed 4-koma that we saw in anticipation of the actual Lucky Star anime were comedy gold.

I’m going through the ABCs of E’s with volume 2, titled “B – Berth.” Will E’s get all the way to Z? Nope. The Japanese manga has stopped at volume 12… That’s only L!
