Wednesday Reading: week 03 and 04.
What I have finished reading:
Akiko Morishima: Highschool GIrls [半熟女子 1 Hanjuku Joshi], Vol. 2
More of the same. It's cute though, and liked that they didn't draw out the drama. There's even a touch realism here.
Kyousuke Motomi: QQ Sweeper [QQ Sweeper], Vol. 1
This is by the author of Dengeki Daisy (which I still have to read). I liked it. It's about a girl, Fumi, who's without money spending the night at the old school house. She meets her classmate Kyutaro. It turns out he cleans people's souldreams from waste and critters. And Fumi has the ability to help him.
It's pretty standard shoujo fare, but I like the characters. I really like Fumi's shamelessness in her goal to catch a rich husband. And I like how she grows over the course of this volume. I think it's only three volumes, so I'm going the read them too.
Yamazaki, Kore: Die Braut des Magiers (The Mage’s Bride) [Mahou Tsukai no Yome], Vol. 2
This is so cool. I really like Chise's growth over the course of this volume. We learn slowly more about Elias and about this world. Even though Chise had a pretty bad childhood, she still knows how to be kind. She's a little passive sometimes, but she does stand up for herself and for others. And while her decision to stay with Elias may not be the healthiest, she makes it for herself.
Kanna Kii: Ein Fremder am Stand [Umibe no Etranger]
I liked this volume. And I really loved the art. There's a sequel series which will come out later this year. I'll probably pick this one up.
Saki Aida & Yuh Takashina: Deadlock, Vol. 1
This volume of yaoi is less hardcore than it could be, certainly less graphic. I still liked these characters, and I'm curious how it will continue. I'm glad I waited with reading this volume, the next will come out next month, and I'm really looking forward to it.
Kozue Amano: Aqua [Aqua], Vol. 1
This one was a re-read. I just love the genleness of this manga, and while the characters are a little stereotypical, they are really likeable. It's good to relax with this one before bed. I love the art, so detailed and interesting. It's truly a place I wish I could visit.
Genevieve Cogman: The Invisible Library
I liked this one. It wasn't overwhelming, but good entertainment. I liked the characters, especially Irene. It's great to see a female character, who puts her duty first.
And I liked the world created. I think I'll read the next volume too.
What I’m reading now:
Tuula Karjalainer: Tove Jansson. Die Biographie (Tove Jansson. The Biography) [Tove Jansson, Tee työtä ja rakasta]
I've finished the first chapter! I just seem unable to concentrate on it, even though it's interesting.
What I’m going to read next:
Not sure yet.
