Obbiously its a couple days without posting here now. Covering for one of the overnight guys this weekend, so I've been busy getting my system all switched into reverse. While this leaves me conscious just as long, I need to be doing something a bit more interactive to ...

And here's today's installment of Killy and Cibo's (not-so-)merry adventures through the nameless megastructure. They actually spend a fair bit of time among other people this time around, and in a neat reversal of the prior volume, where Killy was a midget amongst ...

Continuing on in much the same fashion, we see Killy continue to explore the mysterious megastructure for people containing a particular gene, working his way through several environments, and running into more creative uses of the genetic manipulation/mutation that is running rampant throughout. Midway through, we get a ...

A dark, violent, and utterly alien cybernetic dystopia, where no one can remember what the ground or the sky are like and new horrors lurk around every corner. Exactly the sort of setting, storytelling, and characters I love, I really should have read this ages ago, and started to at ...

Well, I probably should have paid more attention there... Seems this is the fourth collection of a series of Slayers shorts, I thought it was a one-off :\ Still, given the nature of the book, there wasn't any sort of overarching plot that I could see, and ...

And the weekend of bad continues. Picking up where the first volume leaves off, our team of kung fu soccer 'brothers' work their way through the tournament, racking up an impressive string of victories. That is, of course, until they meet up with Team Evil in the ...

Tenuously a manga, closer to a manhua given its Chinese artist, but commissioned for the movie, it really is the awesome of the movie that drove me to pick it up (as part of that bag of as much as possible for $20 thing). While it sticks pretty close ...

Again with the two major plot threads, tying back into earlier, briefly introduced characters (also cute girls, this did originate as a visual novel game after all). Overall, the tone of this volume was a fair bit more serious (relatively speaking) and almost approaching normal slice-of-life, rather than the ...

Continuing last volume's cliffhanger, we spend the better part of the volume wrapping it up, in requisite ridiculous fashion. Then we're on to getting our lead's proto-Kasukabe girlfriend (yes, I know, completely different creative group than Genshiken, but still) to participate in the next doujinshi event ...

The insanity marches on, as our lead continues to learn the ins and outs of the doujinshi world, finding that its not always successful, and that spurned fans/creators can be really fucking scary. The cast, which seems to keep expanding every few chapters, is working nicely, and the lead ...
