   front cover, lead story, fold out color poster, new anime, Chris ought   
   to be pleased :)   
      
   AMG #202   
      
   K1, the monster/spirits/gods/robots magnet, and most of them are the   
   female variety, gee I wonder why?   
      
   Blade of Immortal #135   
      
   finally!  the current story arc (2 years running?) is closed to be   
   finished, talk about a dragging arc that make no sense and did not   
   advance the story a bit, pretty much dump this series outside my "to   
   read" list because of it.  a good example when the art can't save the   
   story.   
      
   YKK #132   
      
   in the last few chapters, there is a gradual changes of character design   
   to emphasize the change of time, and the immortal of the droid, while   
   the young kids are all grown up and move on, both the old man and woman   
   are drawn to be even older compare to earlier chapters, and probably   
   forshadow the end of their lives are near, (pretty much giving out their   
   last words to Alpha.)   
      
   while nice, I can never rank YKK close to my top list because it is   
   pretty much a manga of "nothingness", it has no purpose, and all you can   
   do is to feel sad for them, and I really don't have that much time to   
   spare on something that is really, well, nothing.  mood and atmosphere   
   can only go so far to decorate and enchance a story, but can never be   
   the story itself.   
      
   Genshiken #39   
      
   ah, the cruel truth, what is a typical male otaku?  this one might earn   
   it a "mature" label in English release.   
      
   GSC Burst #12   
      
   Bean is being superman again.   
      
   Historie #27   
      
   the beginning of part 2 is surprising quiet compare to the violent end   
   of part 1, but then, we finally finish the younger days and move to   
   adulthood, which means the story will pick up and come full circle back   
   to the beginning of the story.   
      
   Little Jumper #11   
      
   I keep having the feeling, that the daughter who travel back in time to   
   find her mother, will become the mother in the past instead.  I don't   
   know if that make sense even in sci-fi realm, (that mean the person will   
   create herself in the past.) but at least that is the feeling I have   
   about the story line.   
      
   so far each chapter is pretty much self-contain, so until Takada start   
   longer story/chapters we won't be anywhere near the end of this series.   
      
   Eden #91   
      
   what I hope, and what I expected, finally did happen, (yeah, they have   
   sex.) however, due to the past stories, I won't have too much attachment   
   to any of the characters in this series, since they can pretty much die   
   for no reason at all anytime, so far the story line is going on 3   
   separate tangents concurrently, and to be honest I am only interested in   
   one of them, so I can't say it is one of the series I like.
