Hikaru No Go

I hope j00 enjoy this manga review ^-^,

I have been a fan of the HNG series for a while and love going back through and reading my collected manga of this series. The story is what I’m going to start with this time, I liked the story very much, it’s about a boy named Hikaru who finds an old Go board that contains the spirit of a ghost who then willingly rushes in and takes up a small rent-a-room in Hikaru’s brain (who woulda though he’d have a rent-a-room in his head..) and from then on annoys Hikaru during Go games that he plays and during school and many other things. I think the writer, Yumi Hotta did a great job keeping it fun loving and interesting to read seeing as thats a very hard task to complete.

Next on my list *checks list of things to eliminate from “The List”*. Well next on “The List” I have Art! Yes the great art the show-er of whats going on,and the leader of the visuals. Okay the art was greatly realistic I fell in love with Obata-sensei’s art style especially with jeans and pants. The hair style’s are also very nice, lets just say the art is beautifully done to sum up this topic on “The List”.

“The List” now demands for me to write about the actual Go supervising by Yukari Umezawa (5 dan). The games were actually well coordinated they knew when to speed a game up to the end or keep a game going slow for a certain amount of time to display something important. (“The List” isn’t all that good at telling what’ll have me writing alot or little yet…). Anyway to end this topic, the supervising was great Umezawa did a great job on showing what was possible and what wasn’t possible. ^-^

( and since I rarely do more than 3 topics with manga I’ll end this)

Well to follow up this review, I think that Hikaru No Go is a great choice for the person willing to read anything good, or are trying something new out. It’s art is great and will get you excited about each character and how well done they are. The story is well constructed by Yumi Hotta and can keep you clenched on just it and not your cat banging into the wall mindlessly >.> *stares at his own cat*. Anyway I hope you enjoyed ^-^ Until Next Time!

Comic Party

Okay, now I’m attempting my first manga review I hope it churns out well.

Comic Party, a comedy manga about the famous (well to the Otaku public atleast) Comipa conventions held every month in Japan! This particular manga takes us along on the adventure of an aspiring Doujinshi artist named Sendoh Kazuki. His female friend from childhood, Mizuki, tries to stop him from falling into the otaku world in the first few mangas, but doesn’t seem to be able to budge his new found love. The art is of it’s own unique style (to an extent) but eventually creeps into Azumanga Daioh’s style of art. The story is also very well done, that being the heart of a manga, if a storyline isn’t good most likely the manga won’t make it very far.

Anyway I pretty much fell in love with this manga when I first found it at Borders. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Until next time!
