TH@Cafe_Afro Samurai, Volume #01

By Maipeisu | Published: November 19, 2008

I did not peel open Volume #01’s glossy, crimson stained cover expecting to greet profound thoughts or a gripping drama, nor was I surprised by what I found inside. Number Two’s coarsely inked fighting stance both entreats eyes hungry for katana swinging action, and preempts the possibility of much else, in one crushing blow.

By jiff | Published: August 23, 2008

This has been a slow summer for me anime-wise, with not much new that has kept my attention. So, I’ve been using this chance to catch up on some of my backlog, marathoning older shows and reading lots of manga. If you read our fall preview, you may have noticed that I have recently [...]

By Extrange | Published: June 19, 2008

None of them is as shitty as Naruto, thank God.

Recently, my focus was on top of Shounen Rival, the latest manga magazine from [...]

By Extrange | Published: April 28, 2008

“Goodbye..” These are sad days. According to Canned Dog, the usual Shounen Jump insider that lurks 2ch has revealed that 3 mangas are going to get cut off in 3 or 4 weeks. Those series are Mx0, Hatsukoi Limited and Poseidon. While I don’t really care about Poseidon (random gag manga), I can’t really believe this news [...]

New mangas to pay attention in 2008

By Extrange | Published: March 30, 2008

Why a Kotomi pic? Because I can. Daily, the manga market gets spammed with new works, ranging from one-shots, serializations or volumes; some will have some success, some will be best sellers and some will die, forgotten in the middle of the works that surpass them. A few years back, who thought that mangas [...]
