Alichino 1

Kouyu Shurei - Alichino 1. R. 20080220. beautifully drawn manga, the Alichino seem somewhat like the old cruel and beautiful elves, they steal souls, and grant wishes. It's not always easy to follow the story, or tell the characters apart, but the art is wonderful.

Doll 1

interesting manga, collection of related shorts, relating to artificial humans 'dolls' as servants, substitute children, lovers, mothers. very soft SF, more to do with the relationships than the tech. good a 7. nice art and well done stories.

Pet Shop of Horrors

Pet Shop of Horrors - short stories with mythical beasts sold and generally gremlin like rules and the breaking of them is the horror of the patrons - yet! with a very likeable shop owner and not a creepy tone. a 7

Yun Kouga - Loveless 1

Loveless 1 Yun Kouga - started out interesting, good art, but then got all yaoi-ish. Did like Yuiko quite a bit, a good character. a6.

Felipe Smith - MBQ 1

Felipe Smith - MBQ1 - really good, excellent storytelling, good art, good story, some great perspective. an 8, a modern 'slice-of-life' not a standard sf manga.
