American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Totally cool story. I love the three separate stories, and they came together well in the end, despite being completely disparate at the start. And I have a soft spot for the monkey king. He's so mischievous and totally unapologetic about his faults.

Death Note, Volume 1 by Tsugumi Ohba

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a very interesting premise. A super intelligent high school student is given the power to rid the world of all evil, at least that's the way he sees it. I'm wondering how many people have wondered what it would be like to do away with anyone they thought didn't deserve to live. Unfortunately, things get out of hand pretty fast.

Bleach, Vol. 1: The Death and the Strawberry by Tite Kubo

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is my first Manga read. I have a feeling I could get addicted to this stuff. I could spend significant amounts of time worrying about when the conclusion will be published. Still, if you don't think too hard, and just get into the grand drama of the thing, and accept every bizarre twist and turn, it's kinda fun. I would welcome any opinions on what to read next in this particular area.
