Batgirl Rising

I picked this up on a whim. I've been reading the Dick Grayson Batman and completely enjoying it and saw that this was a bit more of the aftermath of Bruce Wayne's "death". I'm so glad I got this! It's not too often that I laugh out loud at what I'm reading but this did that.

I'm not that familiar with Stephanie Brown. I remember her from her Spoiler days in the old Robin series but I liked her in this. I liked how Barbara tried to talk her out of being Batgirl and eventually started training her and I liked how Dick reacted when he found out. Solid all round.

Rosario + Vampire Season II: Test 1 Monster Fruit

A new semester, and a new season, of Rosario + Vampire begins and this volume reads like it. It's a reminder of everyone who was in Tsukune's harem and who he really wants and it set up... nothing really. The last season surprised me in that it actually managed to seem like there was a story arc. I'll have to see if this one does the same.

Vampire Knight Volume 10

Hmmm... There's still a bit of a battle going on in this volume but the majority is back story to explain what's going on. It was kind of needed at this point. Unfortunately, Hino seems to be trying to set up a love triangle between Rukia, Kaname and Kain. Since Kaname is already in a love triangle with Yuki and Zero I don't think this one works. Plus I like Kain and am sorry that he's ultimately going to be disappointed. Unless he and Zero team up...

Naruto Volume 19: Successor

Absolutely my favourite Naruto so far. Using the doppelganger technique to do what he did was awesome. I actually looked around for someone to tell when I read it.
