Ashinano Hitoshi: Yokohama kaidashi kiko vol. 1-3
"Café Alpha" is the name of a coffee shop out on the East cape. Alpha is the only waitress there. She is a robot. A few years ago her owner suddenly left, telling her to take care of the...
CLAMP: Tsubasa ch. 53-60
I keep wondering who this manga is aimed at. I'm not a CLAMP fan, but I have read the vast majority of their bibliography and I have so far recognized all characters in this manga that I was supposed to...
Fujiko F Fujio: SF zentanpen vol. 3
A complete collection of all Fujiko F Fujio's SF short stories, a bit like the three SF tanpenshû I have mentioned earlier, just much much MUCH thicker and to all appearances, actually complete. A dream-come-true for any F-fan. I felt...
Fujiko F. Fujio: Chinpui vol. 3
I got my hand on the wrong edition! Or rather, a different edition than volume four from yesterday, so some of the stories are duplicate. Not to mention I had read several of these elsewhere already. Sadness. My favorite...
Fujiko F. Fujio: Chinpui vol. 4
The story of Eri, a pretty ordinary pre-teen school girl, who is suddenly chosen to be the wife of the prince of planet Marl -- which she refuses stubbornly to become. A bunch of weird aliens are sent to...
Fujiko F. Fujio: Shônen SF Tanpenshû vol. 1
A collection of six sci-fi/fantasy-esque short stories. Some of them are pretty typical (old man stealing a young man's body; a boy cloning the girl he can't have), but I loved Nakuna! Yûrei (Stop Crying, Ghost!) which seems to...
Fujiko F. Fujio: Shônen SF Tanpenshû vol. 2
Again, a collection of six short stories. Again, some of these are typical (tomorrow's news paper; vampirism as a virus), but New-year-sei chôsa (Exploration of Planet New-Year) is pretty damn cool SF. A scientist makes the hypothesis that all...
Fujiko F. Fujio: Shônen SF Tanpenshû vol. 3
Third volume, including five short stories, and the last one I have. I wonder if there are more out ... At any rate this is my favorite volume, if only because it contains Anko ôi ni ikaru (Anko Gets...
Fujiko Fujio: Obake no Q-tarô vol. 5
This particular segment of the Fujiko Fujio canon is out of print at the moment, but I was as lucky as to find some scans. And you know what? This thing is bloody hilarious. Someone reprint it! Immediately! I...
Fujisaki Ryu: Sakuratetsu Taiwahen vol. 1-2
I don't really like Fujisaki Ryu. I formed this opinion after reading the first half of Hôshin Engi (which went nowhere) and a few chapters of Waqwaq (which art was difficult to follow), but a few people kept recommending Sakuratetsu,...
Hirano Kota: Hellsing vol. 6
What happened in the last volume, again? Hirano writes that this is the first new Hellsing book in nine months, so I guess that would explain why I can't remember. I'm pretty sure I read volume five. But maybe...
Konomi Takeshi: Tenisu no ojisama vol. 1
First volume in the on-going series about Echizen Ryoma, a 13-year-old tennis prodigy who comes back to Japan from the US, enters the tennis team of Seishun Gakuen, becomes a regular member, and aims for all-Japan. It's a supokon...
Raiku Makoto: Konjiki no Gash!! ch. 178-188
Ahhhhh, I fi-nal-ly caught up with Gash in Shonen Sunday. These chapters continue the introduction to the next big battle. Obviously, spoilers to follow....
Sanjô Riku / Inada Kôji: Dragon Quest ~ Dai no daibôken vol. 31
So what has happened in the last 30 volumes? Erm, a lot. Dai, the hero, gathered his party, defeated lots of opponents, met his long-lost father, lost his memory, almost died, had friends die and resurrect, among other things....
Sanjô Riku / Inada Kôji: Dragon Quest ~ Dai no daibôken vol. 32
Hahahahaha! The classic Dragon Quest line ... Evil Overlord: "Join me and I'll give you half the world!" Hero: "Okay!" GAME OVER No, wait, that's not right. Dai says no, of course, although he admits that humans sometimes suck...
Sanjô Riku / Inada Kôji: Dragon Quest ~ Dai no daibôken vol. 33
Mist Vearn looks damn good without that hood. But I knew. Sanjô has a lot of bad habits with his story-telling (like how he hardly ever kills anyone), but the most prominent is his abnormal fondness for flashbacks. Now,...
Sanjô Riku / Inada Kôji: Dragon Quest ~ Dai no daibôken vol. 34
I told you Vearn wasn't dead! (As if anyone couldn't tell.) So Mist Vearn's body was actually a duplicate of Vearn's body which he was protecting, which isn't a big surprise, but howcome both Mist and Vearn had to...
Sanjô Riku / Inada Kôji: Dragon Quest ~ Dai no daibôken vol. 35
Wait, Pop, Aban, Him, and Larhalt weren't turned into little balls? I swear, I'll kill Sanjô and his cliffhangers one of these days. Also, Crocodine! I love you though you're weak (relatively speaking) and you're a little ball. You...
Suzuki Nakaba: Blizzard Axel ch. 1
This week's Shonen Sunday features the first installment of Suzuki Nakaba's new series, Blizzard Axel. When I first saw the name 鈴木央 I thought I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't quite place it ... until I began to...
Tabata Yoshiaki/Yogo Yuki: Comic Master J vol. 1-8
Comic Master J is the best manga I have read in, I dare say, years. What, or indeed who, is Comic Master J, you ask? Let me enlighten you! In every trade, there is a legend -- and the...
Takahashi Kazuki: Yu-Gi-Oh! vol. 01
It's been a while since I last bought a manga in Danish. Thinking back, it's probably the first time since volume two of One Piece in May 2003. Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long ... as I...
Tanabe Ierou: Kekkaishi vol. 01
The story of a teenage boy Yoshimori who is the heir of a house of "kekkaishi", people who can make metaphysical "barriers" to fight "ayakashi" (something mysterious and suspect, like monsters and ghosts). It's his job to patrol the school...
Togashi Yoshihiro: Ôkami nante kowakunai!
The following is an overview of Togashi Yoshihiro's first tankobon, Ôkami nante kowakunai!!. It was first published in October 1989, and the five short manga included were drawn between 1986 (his debut) and that year. The edition I own is...
Urushibara Yuki: Mushishi vol. 1
Let me say right away that the designs in this manga reminds me an awfully lot of Nausicaa and Mononokehime, and that the author and the publisher and the readers probably feel the same way. But that's okay, because...
Urushibara Yuki: Mushishi vol. 2
There are only four volumes out of this manga, did you know? Damn you, Urushibara; write more then once every two months, will you? Probably my favorite episode, Fude no umi, is included in this volume. A girl is...
Urushibara Yuki: Mushishi vol. 3
Ohtomo Katsuhiro (of Akira) is quoted on the front, recommending this manga. How weird that that makes me want to read this manga less. I mean, I didn't even think Ohtomo read manga, as odd as that may sound....
Urushibara Yuki: Mushishi vol. 4
Uromayudori! The opener of this volume is so weird and illogical and fantastical and supreme, it's my favorite since volume two's Fude no umi. Basically, the idea is that if you split up a twin cocoon and trap a...
Watsuki Nobuhiro: Busô Renkin vol. 4
The volume in which Kazuki and Tokiko battle the Hayasaka-twins, and enter the headquarters of the LXE. I never meant to read this manga, and the only reason I did was the freaky crazy villain Chôno Kôshaku (he's like Hisoka...
Yagi Norihiro: Claymore vol. 1-9
This is, uh, really good. The "review" ar manganews.net is really bad but gets the gist of it. Claymores are female warriors who are human/monster hybrids (chimeras might be a better term), possessing the power of the monsters in their...
