The Hunger Games
I have been hearing about The Hunger Games for a bit over a year. I remember the first time I saw the book come through at GPL, before it had received a lot of its accolades and popularity and remember thinking, “This sounds interesting, I should read this.”
It took awhile to find the time (and to remember to put in a hold on it at my local library), but I finally got my hands on it and read it straight through the day I got it.
Sand Chronicles v. 3
A good manga leaves you wanting more when you finish a volume. A better manga has you whimpering at its spot on the bookshelf that does not contain the next volume. Why did I only buy the first 3 volumes?!

I’m really not sure what to make of this series. I read the first volume a few years ago and wasn’t sure if I’d ever read anymore. but today I found the next volume for $4 at Half Price Books so I thought, why not? Oh…that’s why…

There are a few manga I never would have heard of or considered if I hadn’t found them in the bargain bin at Half-Price Books. S.O.S. by Ashihara Hinako is one of those manga.

Maison Ikkoku — Episodes 53-56
Just a quick post here, as it’s been a few weeks since I watched these episodes.
Ah! My Goddess–Episode 10
I finally found an episode that really seemed to work. Yes, Keiichi and Belldandy are nauseatingly sweet, but at least there was some actual direction involved.

Ah! My Goddess–Episode 9
I had originally planned on really trying to give this episode a chance. I’ve been harsh about this series. Unfortunately, that plan had to go unused, because this episode was just a mismash of complete incoherence.
