I couldn’t wait the one week for the next episode to come out, so I started reading the manga to see what happens next in the story.
It seems to be focusing a lot so far on misunderstandings when I instead want to see the romantic relationship develop more between the lead characters. Hopefully that will come soon…

Started reading this yesterday. It’s about aspiring detectives solving mysteries. An interesting read with intriguing cases that contain no supernatural aspects. It’s all facts and deductions; the way mysteries are meant to be solved.
The manga seems good so far, but I haven’t seen the anime version yet.

Started reading this manga on a whim today. I was somewhat hesitant to read it at first due to the drawing style, but now I’m glad I did.
Another manga series that I randomly picked up.
It’s about a man that can steal people’s luck by touching them with his bare hands. The premise is interesting enough; looking forward to where it takes this series. In the current chapters out, it feels a bit episodic although I can see the main plot building up.
Unfortunately, looks like the releases are few and comes at random intervals.

Started reading the xxxHolic manga this week. I was already somewhat familiar with the premise since I saw Tsubasa Chronicle and have heard of the xxxHolic anime.
For those of you like me that can’t wait for the second season of the Darker than Black anime to air, here’s the manga with the story continuing after the events of the first season.
I’m assuming the second season will also be the same story as this manga, although I’m not sure of this fact. If you haven’t seen or finished the first season yet, I highly recommend that you do so before the second season airs this October. Then we can share some discussion/thoughts after each episode via melative.
Yay for Hei, Yin, and Kirihara Misaki! I hope some of my favorite figure makers decide to craft them when the second season airs.

A mystery manga set in an isolated village. Shiki is based on a horror novel by Ono Fuyumi, who has also written other works such as Juuni Kokki (Twelve Kingdoms) and Ghost Hunt.
Juuni Kokki is one of my all time favorite anime series, which made it a certainty for me to read Shiki. I also thought Ghost Hunt (anime) was very well done to the point that I was freaked out at times by the suspense.
With this in mind, I added Shiki to my reading list to look for the same great mystery/horror plots.

It is quite possibly the hottest day thus far this summer here in the SF Bay Area. So hot that I lounged around the house all day and didn’t feel like doing anything.
I haven’t talked about manga lately, so here is a new series that I recently added to my reading list.
Another manga that I follow, Bloody Monday.
Summary from One Manga:
A virus deal clinched in Russia on the Christmas eve. Purpose: unknown. Two clues: a mysterious lady “Maya”, one of the gangsters, and “Bloody Monday”, the keyword for the project.
Then an incident happened in far-distant city of Tokyo. Fujimaru Takagi, a second grade student at Mishiro Gakuin high school, is commissioned to find out the truth by Public Security Investigation Bureau for his great ability as a super hacker. Now, Maya, approaching to Fujimaru, as his high school teacher…
The story is about as believable as Live Free or Die Hard (a “super hacker” can hack into anything with his laptop in mere seconds). I find it highly amusing, taking into account my relation to computer science, since it follows the mainstream perception of “hacking.”
Nevertheless, it’s entertaining enough to merit reading though I believe it is tagged mature due to some scenes of violence (blood and gore).
Just saw this over at One Manga, it seems to be about wine and a competition between two brothers for an inheritance. I’ve been wanting to learn more about wine lately, now I have a highly enjoyable medium through which to learn it from.
For those thinking that it is useless knowledge, knowing your wine is a good thing to be capable of in high society and contains lots of history as well. I only occasionally drink some random reds that my dad gets, but I hope to try out a wider variety in the future. Anyone a wine expert here?
Also remember, 21 years or older only – don’t drink underage! :<
