Manga Review - Chibi Vampire 1

By Hazelnut • Nov 18th, 2008 • Category: Manga Reviews, Reviews

Favourite quote, “I’m being tricked by a magical raccoon, aren’t I? I know a magical raccoon when I see one…”
When you discover a Tokyopop vampire manga for older teens labeled as comedy/horror, you might expect seductive creepy vampires, but Chibi Vampire turns the normal vampire story on its head. Karin gives people her own blood, [...]

Manga Review - Red Colored Elegy

By Hazelnut • Oct 19th, 2008 • Category: Manga Reviews, Reviews

“I wish everything, and everyone, would all go to hell, to hell!“
Red Colored Elegy by Seiichi Hayashi is a brightly coloured hardback published by Drawn and Quarterly in dramatic contrast to the raw, depressing honesty of the manga. This is a refreshingly dark, emotional, artistic manga from the 1970s that will draw you into the [...]

Manga Review - Strawberry Panic! (Vol. 1-2)

By Chiisuki • Jul 6th, 2008 • Category: Manga Reviews, Reviews

Strawberry Panic! by Sakurako Kimino and art by Takuminamuchi is the flagship title from Seven Seas ‘Strawberry’ Line. This is another very famous yuri title much like Kannazuki, if asked to name a yuri title this is the other one most people go for and within reason, Strawberry Panic! optimizes the yuri school girl [...]

Manga Review - Kannazuki No Miko (Vol. 1+2)

By Chiisuki • Jul 6th, 2008 • Category: Manga Reviews, Reviews

The most famous (or in some cases infamous) Yuri manga Kannazuki No Miko by Kaishaku finally was published this year by Tokyopop in two volumes which are both available now. I call this series famous as if you ask anyone to name a yuri title 9 times out of 10 this is the one they [...]

Manga Review - First Love Sisters Vol. 1

By Chiisuki • Apr 1st, 2008 • Category: Anime & Manga news, Manga Reviews

My second review from Seven Sea’s Strawberry Line is First Love Sisters Vol 1, written by Mako Komao and art by Mizuo Shinonome.This is very much along the usual yuri vein of within an all girls school an underclassman falls for her Senpai, or is it indeed the other way around in this one? Either [...]


Manga Review - Voiceful

By Chiisuki • Apr 1st, 2008 • Category: Anime & Manga news, Manga Reviews

I’ve been waiting with eager anticipation for the publication of Seven Seas Entertainment’s Strawberry line, Myself being a huge fan of Yuri I couldn’t pass up this line as there is a definite lack of Yuri manga translations in comparison to Yaoi. I am hoping this will be the start of a new trend towards [...]
