Rosario + Vampire Season II Volume 3 Love Bites

Mizore's kind of creepy, but she gets that honestly from her mother.  Her whole village anyway.  Mizore's story has been the most "monstrous" of the individual stories of the girls.  I have a feeling that snow fairies are some Japanese legend that I've never heard about.  That or Ikeda is able to build a myth better than I thought he'd be able to.

The Black Butler Volume III

It's all out in the open now regarding the deal surrounding Sebastian.  Not entirely surprised but nice to see the conclusion of the first arc.  A quick humour episode and then right into the second arc.  Not bad for a manga I picked up solely for the name and the front cover.

Naruto Volume 33: The Secret Mission

You don't want to make him angry...  You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

At least the plot moves along a little.  But the Hulk sprang to mind.

Naruto Volume 32: The Search for Sasuke

They've let Naruto out on another mission - to find Sasuke.  I don't know if it's a good idea to let Naruto essentially walk into the belly of the beast but I guess that's what makes a challenging story.  And they've found a surly replacement for Sasuke.  And he's a spy.  Great.

Naruto Volume 31: Final Battle

This is it.  The big showdown to rescue Gaara.  And it almost works too.  Although it does give the opportunity for big sacrifice.  I think I would have enjoyed this one had most of the character development scenes not already been said in the last arc.  Kishimoto doesn't really tread any new ground with this one.  Naruto's positive attitude seems to be the theme.

Bleach Volume 34: King of the Kill

Hey look!  Nel prevails and then an even bigger threat shows up.  It's becoming a bit predictable.  Thank goodness the big guns from the Soul Society decide to show up too.  I wonder how Ichigo will top them all.

Bleach Volume 33:The Bad Joke

Hmmm... I would've never guessed that Nel was a scantily clad warrior goddess.
