Don’t miss out on my reviews of School Rumble, Volumes One, Two, Three, Four and Five before reading my review of Volume Six!!

Class 2C and 2D are locked in a battle [...]

The Death Note manga is turning out to be a riveting read. And after taking into account of how popular the manga is with anime fans, I wanted to judge for myself if the anime series of the same name does the manga justice. So far, the Death Note anime is as engaging as the [...]

It so happens I love vampire novels and movies. When Anne Rice, vampire novelist extraordinare, was the toast of the goth world, I read all her books, even the Witching Hour (blah). I even read the less than complimentary novels featuring vampires by other novelists, but became burnt out on it all.
