On to the stacks of printed words and images that I've gone through over the last few months, and I'm sure I've missed some: Books: - Used my iPhone to finally read Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass - Nahoko Uehashi's Moribito II: ...
And here's today's installment of Killy and Cibo's (not-so-)merry adventures through the nameless megastructure. They actually spend a fair bit of time among other people this time around, and in a neat reversal of the prior volume, where Killy was a midget amongst ...
Continuing on in much the same fashion, we see Killy continue to explore the mysterious megastructure for people containing a particular gene, working his way through several environments, and running into more creative uses of the genetic manipulation/mutation that is running rampant throughout. Midway through, we get a ...
A dark, violent, and utterly alien cybernetic dystopia, where no one can remember what the ground or the sky are like and new horrors lurk around every corner. Exactly the sort of setting, storytelling, and characters I love, I really should have read this ages ago, and started to at ...
Well, I probably should have paid more attention there... Seems this is the fourth collection of a series of Slayers shorts, I thought it was a one-off :\ Still, given the nature of the book, there wasn't any sort of overarching plot that I could see, and ...
And the weekend of bad continues. Picking up where the first volume leaves off, our team of kung fu soccer 'brothers' work their way through the tournament, racking up an impressive string of victories. That is, of course, until they meet up with Team Evil in the ...
Tenuously a manga, closer to a manhua given its Chinese artist, but commissioned for the movie, it really is the awesome of the movie that drove me to pick it up (as part of that bag of as much as possible for $20 thing). While it sticks pretty close ...
Another series down, and certainly pleased with how it all turned out. After being scouted by a weekly manga magazine for a professional gig, our lead (who has only been at it for a year and has barely broken past the smallest tier of doujinshi publishing) is quickly swept ...
Again with the two major plot threads, tying back into earlier, briefly introduced characters (also cute girls, this did originate as a visual novel game after all). Overall, the tone of this volume was a fair bit more serious (relatively speaking) and almost approaching normal slice-of-life, rather than the ...
Continuing last volume's cliffhanger, we spend the better part of the volume wrapping it up, in requisite ridiculous fashion. Then we're on to getting our lead's proto-Kasukabe girlfriend (yes, I know, completely different creative group than Genshiken, but still) to participate in the next doujinshi event ...
