This Week at Manga Village ** 8/15/08

August 16, 2008

It’s the end of the week (thank goodness) and time to round up the hard work our reviews did.  BTW, like the graphic at the top?  It was drawn by Lissa Patillo of Kuri-osity, a former reviewer for us, who was so kind as to not only do all the artwork for Manga Village, but has allowed us to keep using it.  Thanks Lissa!

This week starts off again with Charles Tan looking at a modern classic Rurouni Kenshin VizBIG Volume 2 from Viz.  The first two arcs really were great.  I check out a soon to be classic Sand Chronicles Volume 2 from Viz.  It really is everything it’s hyped up to be.  Dan Polley sits one out with The Wallflower Volume 16 from Del Rey.  I really need to sit down and read this series.  John Thomas comes and goes with Translucent Volume 2 from Dark Horse.  I really wouldn’t put this at age 8+ either, it’s really meant for a teen audience 12 and up.

We’ve also got our picks up for the week.  Come see which title won the hearts of two of our reviewers!  Over at Good Comics for Kids, I’ve got the newest All Ages releases as well as hyping my All Ages Manga list.  Check it out and tell me if there’s anything I can do to improve it!
