“Feel like there’s not much interest?” Really? Well let me tell you something. I haven’t read a whole lot of Manga, mainly because I haven’t found many sources for reccomendations (especially compared to the numerous review sites for American comics). Well, I was at Borders one day and I saw the first volume of Yotsuba& on the shelf. I sat down and gave it a quick read. I then immediately purchased it along with all the other available volumes. It now owns me. Rarely have I ever had such fun reading a comic. It has me smiling on damn near every page. So big time thanks for directing me to it.

Okay, okay. I’ll stop wallowing in self-pity and write my damn manga reviews for all you lovely people. Thanks for setting me straight.

Count me among the fans of this feature! I’ve bought Monster, Battle Royale, Yotsuba&! and Pantheon High because of your recomendations (both in this feature and the manga podcast). I’m getting Tezuka’s MW, Uzumaki and Gyo based on your recomendations too.

Question for you: I’m already working on my Previews order for August. I can’t get everything I want, as usual. Dark horse is backlisting Mail Vols. 1-3. Would you recommend getting those? It’s either that or the EC Archive Vault of Horror release… What do you think?

I’ve only read a couple of the EC issues, and I liked them, but if the Mail stuff is being backlisted, I’d grab it now and get the EC books when you can afford them again. Mail is one of my favorite horror manga ever, and those three volumes are the entire series. Really some top notch creative ghost stories.

You are quite welcome. Thanks for the feedback; sometimes, with the manga reviews, I feel like there’s not much interest, and it’s nice to hear otherwise.

Dan, the fact that you started doing manga reviews has put me in deep spending just to get some mangas along with my monthlies so, although I don’t always comment, I bet there are loads of people just like me out here that appreciate your work

thank you for continued manga coverage. i really appreciate the manga perspective from my capes and cowls sites. appreciate it to the tune of ~30 volumes of manga purchased in the last 2 months. Comic Pants stole my wallet.

Not only does Gon sound cool but I think the character, for some reason or another, actually showed up in the fighting game Tekken 2 (maybe 3, I can’t remember), and I used to beat the snot out of my friends with him.

Can’t wait to read this.
