, March 25, 2014
I have waited a long time for this volume to finally be available in English, cannot wait until August. The description only explains what the series is about and not what is in the volume. In this volume Kanda confronts Link about him following Allen and Johnny uses shocking cuffs so that Allen cannot escape. Johnny starts a repair business in order to make money and since he and Allen cannot go to far from each other without getting an electric shock due to the cuffs, Allen joins him with making a house call. Tim stays behind with Kanda to watch their things and Apocryphos confronts them in order to destroy Tim and erase Kanda's memory so that Kanda will go back to the order. If that was not bad enough, The Earl attacks Allen and the Order finds Kanda.

The only downside to this series is how long it takes for the new volume to come out. In this volume Detective Moore is in danger from the Men in Black. Then a new kid joins Ran's school and accompanies Richard, Ran, and Conan on a disappearance case that later appears to be a suicide. Also in this volume is 500 chapter celebration that profiles characters from the manga.

Hailey, a grade student, feels an evil presence at work one night and is chased by that presence. She is rescued by a homeless man named Melchi, but that is not the end of her troubles. She finds out that she is one of the Standing and that beings called Mulo are after her. Melchi does what he can to help the people from these Mulo but later Hailey starts to beleive that maybe Melchi is the one that she should be afraid of. This book was overall alright however they need a better description of the Mulo because it took me a long time to find out that they were like vampires.

Kanoko Sakurakoji
paige.a.erwin
, February 21, 2014
The story starts with Akari accidentally hitting Ryusei with her bag, which has a heavy dictionary in it. Latter when she is trying to find a cafe she sees a cat and follows it. The cat leads her to where Ryusei works and she finds out that the cat belongs to him. Later while they are drinking tea she notices that Ryusei does not look so well and after their talk she somehow becomes his new manager with the belief that until Ryusei's bruise, from when she hit him with her bag, heals. There is also a short story with how Ryusei and Mr. Ken, the cat, met each other. This is a good shojo manga and with only two volumes in the series it is a quick read.

Invasion Of Privacy
by
Perri Oshaughnessy
paige.a.erwin
, February 20, 2014
This is a good story about a lawyer, Nina. Nina's client who is a filmmaker needs Nina to help her with a simple invasion of privacty suit that was brought against her. Nina who recently was shot in a court room decides that she will only do safe cases and takes the filmmaker's case. The case seems to be in the bag but Nina becomes scared of her client when the client chases her down the hall after one of the hearings. The film is about a missing girl and this story leads less on the invasion of privacy but why the client made the film in the first place. The father of Nina's son who she has not seen since before her son was born comes to town and is accused of murder. Nina desides that she should defend him and to take his case even though there is a tape that states that her former lover is the culprit. Nina is now in danger of being killed and her son goes missing. This book is full of suspence and you never know what is going to happen next.

This is a nice stand alone book about psychic powers and romance. The main character Ion picks up a power inhancing tablet of sorts and is able to fly and more. The boy who made the tablet loves psychic powers and immediatly takes notice in her. The rest of the story is about Ion trying to get the boy to notice her for herself and not just for her powers. Throw in a girl who has a crush on the boy and who also has psychic powers and another boy who has a crush on Ion and it's a great story.

This is a shonen-ai book. It centers around a boy who goes to an all boys school and who can be easily possessed by ghosts. One day he talks to what he thinks is a crying girl but finds out is a ghost. That ghost follows him around and possesses him so that she can confess to a guy that she had a crush on when she was alive, that guy just happens to go to the main characters school and is in the same class. It's funny at times but it is also sad.

Like the story and the art. It starts off in the present but then it goes back to tell about the past. So far the series is on hiatis but for those that like the wizard of oz or magic should like this series.

Love this book and it is from my favorite manga series. The story stopped for a while but I really hope that Hoshino continues it soon. You won't regret picking up this book but you should read the series from the beggining.
