Read Busou Renkin, from the creator of Rurouni Kenshin, for the first time today. Wasn't too impressed. (I've only read the first chapter so I'm not bothering to spoiler cut.) It read like a cross between Bleach and FMA, with the main character played by a male Misao (from Kenshin). The art was excellent as usual with crisp lines and nice detail but the character designs were pretty plain all things considered. Suppose I'll read more someday, but it really doesn't make you want to. I think I'd have enjoyed it more if I hadn't read Bleach and FMA first, or you know, really enjoyed what he did with Kenshin.
Naruto's latest chapters were rather lowkey, and I'm glad Kakashi wasn't saying anything important for two chapters because I was completely distracted by the fact that he was hiatate-less and sleeveless and reading a book (two of my favourite things) for the whole time. I also get the impression that Sai is a lot more amusing in the original Japanese. Oh, and Ino? Sasuke might not be gay *cough*, but Sai definately is.
Read the first couple of chapters of Bowling King. I understand the manga is from Taiwan but I noticed little difference between that and Japanese manga other than it was a bit more rude in places (what is with foreign manga and rudeness? I noticed the same thing with Threads of Time (which is Korean).) Pretty typical shonen manga - leecherous boy sees a girl he adores. Sets out to save her from the evil mafia guy by winning a bowling competition, only problem being it's his first time bowling. Problem being solved by him being a bowling prodigy and having a really strong left arm. Only really entertaining thing is the random costumes the main guy changes in to all the time, especially since the other characters break the 4th wall and comment on them.
Eyeshield21 continues to be its insane, crazy self. Makes me sorry I've been ignoring it for awhile, but it makes it more fun when I get to read a lot of chapters all in one go.
In other, non-manga news, the recaps of America's Next Top Model on TWOP are almost as addictive as the show itself. I am both ashamed and entertained.
