This Week at Manga Village ** 4/16/08

April 16, 2008

Things are really shaking at Manga Village. Our reviewers have another great line up of reviews to keep you occupied if the “big one” hits. John Thomas goes parental advisory with volume 4 of MPD-Psycho from Dark Horse. Dan Polley takes it easy with a Nodame Cantabile volume 12 from Del Rey (with a clarinet on the cover. I played that in high school!). Charles Tan find a Chinese Hero: Tales of the Blood Sword volume 5 from DrMaster. I hit the top of the richer scale with Metro Survive volume 1 from DrMaster.

We’ve also got our weekly picks up from this sparse week, just days before NYCC. Check out what to buy if you’re not able to go to the con (like me). Charles Tan has an article on the different Manga Formats in the US. Stop by and let us know what you think.

    I’m glad to see Metro Survive get some love from other bloggers! I didn’t like it quite as much as you did, but I found it a really welcome change of pace from the usual shojo and shonen fare.

    I’m just a sucker for natural disaster stories. I even love watching those re-enactment documentaries that Discovery/Science channel like to show. The ones about what would happen if an asteroid hit the earth again, or if the super volcano in Yellow Stone erupted. It’s my personal basis. 🙂
