Go! Comi

A.I. Revolution 1 by Yuu Asami: B

May 2, 2009 by Michelle Smith Leave a Comment

I reviewed the first volume of this Go! Comi series—about a girl tasked with teaching a robot prototype all about being human—for Comics Should Be Good. You can find that review here. A.I. Revolution is a bit of an older series with seventeen volumes total. Five volumes have been released in English so far. … [Read more...] about A.I. Revolution 1 by Yuu Asami: B

Three in Love 1-2 by Shioko Mizuki: C-

February 9, 2009 by Michelle Smith Leave a Comment

The title and back cover descriptions for this series are misleading, making it seem like the “three-person relationship” is one in which any one person has romantic feelings for the other two. Sadly, this isn’t the case. Instead, two girls—Machiru, a chronic overachiever, and Hanakago, an earnest first year—are both in love with the same spacey boy. Also, each girl has an … [Read more...] about Three in Love 1-2 by Shioko Mizuki: C-

From the back cover: New mysteries and conflicts awaken when Amane, Hyoue and Ateko encounter a childlike demon and an old acquaintance of Hayato's. Friendships are reforged and feelings born anew as the trio enjoys their last days together before Amane's forced wedding. Amane is torn between her duty and her heart—but just as she and Hyoue seem to be getting closer, Amane … [Read more...] about Her Majesty’s Dog 9 by Mick Takeuchi: B-

Her Majesty’s Dog 8 by Mick Takeuchi: B-

January 25, 2009 by Michelle Smith 1 Comment

From the back cover: At least one Kamori family enemy has been revealed, but Amane's and Hyoue's troubles are far from over. Forces from all sides are closing in on our heroes, determined to drive a wedge of doubt and distrust between them. Is their bond strong enough to keep them together? Review: It seems we've arrived at the promised over-arching story at last, though I'm … [Read more...] about Her Majesty’s Dog 8 by Mick Takeuchi: B-
