Forging an Art

Up, only at BSCreview.   Speaking of Azumanga Daioh, the lovely interlude where the girls discuss the possibilities of a cafe for the class festival, and the idea of a monster cafe, with the girls dressed like different monsters in order to serve the patrons, made me think of Team Fortress 2′s Prop Hunt.  An umbrella monster is one thing, but a wall monster?  For those who are deprived of the experience of the TF2PH, here you go.

Talkin’ bout the Totoro . . . at BSCreview.

Up at BSCreview.  It was supposed to be October, but such is life . . .

The latest Mangakissa column is here at BSCreview.

The latest Mangakissa – in which I adore cats, as always, here.

This month focuses on Darren Shan’s Cirque du Freak.

The latest – and last – Shojo Beat just arrived and lo and behold, page 209 features vampire manga.  I already covered Chibi Vampire in my last mangakissa column, but the other five included have been unreported on my end.  Rosario + Vampire, Canon, Descendants of Darkness, Millennium Snow, and Trinity Blood are featured in the July issue, along with some tasty tidbits on vampires in manga.

Vampire manga discussed here.

Just posted at Bookspotcentral.
