|    Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural In    |

      From: bliss-sf4ever@dslextreme.com              Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation       published by Viz, in 2007, found at the SFPL-Main.       [By the way the graphic novel section on the main       floor has been moved to the front behind the help       desk and the checkout machines.]       Written and art by Youshiyuki Nishi originally from       Shonen Jump manga.              Comedic stories with Muhyo's Execution of the Supernatural       laws as the resolution. Roji or Jiro is just a clerk. Note       that RojI is Jiro with the syllables reversed.        Both appear childish and Roji is a bit but Muhyo is       very skilled in Supernatural Law.              Their advertisement reads:               ARE YOU A VICTIM OF       UNWANTED SPIRIT POSSESSION?              Is there a ghost you want sent up and       away...or down to burn for all eternity?        If the answer is yes then you need       Muhyo and Roji, experts in magic law.       Serving Justice to evil spirits is is       their specialty.               ===================                And that is what the stories are       about. People show up with problems       and the team resolves those problems       by application of the appropriate magical       or Supernatural law, sentencing the evil       spirits to an appropriate punishment.        The stories are amusing but not what       I would call captivating. I have no       desire to continue with the series but       a younger person might find it       worthwhile.        This is a multi-volume series.               bliss              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
