Brightest Day Volume One

I enjoyed Darkest Night so I thought I'd pick up the obvious sequel.

Poor Deadman.  It's tough to find your way when your whole thing was that you were dead and now you're alive.  It sort of defeats his purpose.

I didn't realise this was just the set up though.  The series is longer than I thought it was going to be.  I'll pick up the next one because I want to see how it all ends up.  I suspect there might be another volume coming called No Evil Shall Escape My Sight though.

Ouran High School Host Club

I see this manga everywhere.  And the anime clips on YouTube.  So I thought I'd give it a read to see what is was about.

Maybe it gets better.

It doesn't read like a series.  It reads like a series of one-shots.  And I found it really, really silly.  I thought it would be a more blatant romance.  But it's something of a farce.

The Black Butler: Volume 1

It's a manga about a butler.  How can one resist?  Especially an English butler to the heir to a toy company.  And that heir is a child.  Of course, there's more than meets the eye but Sebastian is one heck of a butler.

Naruto Volume 29: Kakashi vs Itachi

It's the fight of the mentors.  I think it's just to remind us that even though Naruto and co. have all become more skilled they still have a long way to go.

Naruto Volume 28: Homecoming

Naruto returns after two years of training (off screen).  He's older, taller and more confident and that makes Sakura see him in a different light.  He's still the same old Naruto though.

Kishimoto reintroduces the characters of Naruto so that they're the same, yet different.  They all have learned to use their talents and grown into their own roles.  I'm curious as to what Sasuke's become.

Bleach Volume 30: There is no Heart Without You

Surprisingly, Orihime has a plan.  I wasn't really expecting that.  Chad made it through, as expected, though it didn't look good for him.  It looks worse for Rukia.

Bleach Volume 29: The Slashing Opera

Big fight... Check.  Everybody needs to check out their new more powerful abilities...  Check.  I think Chad's still in trouble.
