For some reason, I thought this was going to be a rather tame series, focused on the crafting of doujinshi with somewhat realistic characterizations. Doujin-making aside, I couldn't have been more wrong. Opening with a nailbat wakeup call, lots of metal references, and a quick jump into the world ...
New acquisition! I'd completely forgotten this was coming out, and so was pleasantly surprised to see it sitting on the shelf at Borders this afternoon. When I was actively following scanlations of Tenjou Tenge, this was constantly sitting off to the side of the translator's site staring ...
Hrm, even given its thinness, that was pretty much less of everything than I was expecting. I've never gotten around to either the OVA or the TV series, but with an android female in the lead, its one of those things that is almost automatically on my radar. ...

Opening with another short, Rally's gotten a gig as a firearms instructor at another shooting range and proceeds to school a group of people who have a very Hollywood-based view of handling firearms, explicitly copying Keanu Reeve's gun-fu in The Matrix and the various antics found ...
For some reason, I didn't pick up on it so much in the first volume, but the main story running from the first volume through a good chunk of this one shares a commonality with the Daniel Craig Bond reboot, Casino Royale. Namely, both involve baddies ...
Okay, I've accumulated a big pile of manga, enough for 3 weeks straight without picking any more up, so I'm going to try and go through them at a volume a day, or as near to it as I can, with some sort of blog post accompanying it, probably just ...
