Amatsuki Episode 1: "This Rainy Evening`s Moon"

By Extrange | Published: April 6, 2008

It’s been a while since we had a Edo related anime, but Amatsuki is more than that. Being part of the list of mangas that I faithful read, the anime adaptation of Amatsuki was eagerly expected by me.

A few years back, who thought that mangas like [...]

Manga Bites: My Lovely Ghost Kana

By Extrange | Published: March 15, 2008

A ghost is fine too. Whenever you read a manga which is tagged “Slice of Life”, it’s almost guaranteed that you will learn a lesson about life.

By Extrange | Published: March 8, 2008

This isn’t Shana. Notice she doesn’t have a melon-pan. Some mangas are missleading. For example, Elfen Lied manga looks dreadful at the first sight but his subpar artwork is offuscated by the storyline and appeal of the characters. Others, like 666 Satan, looks like a decent shounen but it reveals itself at a lame clone [...]
