I am so bad. I should not be neglecting this blog this way - especially since I do know that there are folks who read it. It's just that there are so many titles out there and, if you've seen my typical review, then you know that I put a lot of time into writing something up. I have several reviews that need doing that I've been procratinating.

Anyway, I have just run into a new manga, not two days ago, that blew my socks off. I'm not going to write it up tonight, especially since I'm on a hacked connection while driving beween Santa Cruz, CA and Houston, TX (in Flagstaff, to be exact).

The manga is called Emma. It's not Jane Austin's Emma. It's a graphic novel originally written in Japanese about an "upstairs-downstairs" romance in Victorian England between a young upper class merchant prince and a maid named Emma. It's good for all ages but seriously, skip getting it for your kids and get it for yourself. It's wonderful. The research alone is damn near perfect but it's the story that makes it special. I'll try to post particulars in a day or two. If you can't wait, check out the splash page for it on Amazon.
