"Queens: Volume One"
by Nadia Oxford (Fri 12-08-2006)
There's a lot of talk about gender roles these days. Some people believe humans should be free to openly explore sexuality, even if it's sometimes a rocky path. Others think men should stick to wrestling bears for their woman to cook before... Diamond May 2005 Solicitations (Wed 01-19-2005)

by Way Jeng (Tue 10-12-2004)
Salutations, and welcome back to another romp through the exciting world of anime dubs. One of the reasons I enjoy anime so much is because of the depth and complexity of the stories. Anime can make us laugh or cry, and sometimes it tries to do both. This... Queen\'s Vol.#01

by Nadia Oxford (Wed 09-05-2007)
In his author profile, Lorenzo lists the Super Nintendo cult classic "Earthbound" as one of his Favourite Things. The influence is obvious, and the pedigree for Bombos versus Everything is definitely worthy. Though it's an underappreciated title... PSYCHO BUSTERS, Volume One
by Nadia Oxford (Fri 11-02-2007)
"Psycho Busters" sounds like a title an average high school student would give to his average creative writing project, so it's no surprise that a manga called Psycho Busters is … well, average. In fact, Psycho Busters is about as generic... MISSING, Volume One
by Nadia Oxford (Mon 09-17-2007)
When Kyoichi Utsume , the black-garbed leader of his school's Literature Club, meets an ethereal girl, his fellow club members slowly track them, slowly make some curious discoveries and slowly draw together conclusions. Gakuto Coda's Missing is so awkwar... THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR, Volume One

by Nadia Oxford (Thu 09-07-2006)
Romance manga isn't for everyone, and the yaoi genre of romance manga certainly isn't for everyone. "Yaoi" usually refers to an anime or manga (Japanese comics/graphic novels) that has a focus around a romantic relationship between two male characters. ... Hell Girl, Volume One
by Nadia Oxford, Columnist (Wed 01-16-2008)
Hell Girl reads like a cross between Death Note and maybe The Ring, though it won't really intrigue or scare you. In fact, Eto's horror manga is pretty silly, but in an endearing way, like a favourite cousin who dresses up in a sheet on Halloween.

by Nadia Oxford (Wed 06-13-2007)

by Nadia Oxford (Wed 11-07-2007)
Some of my earliest memories are of me playing with my grandparents' German shepherd, Barney. I'd tug on him, climb on him, stick my hands in his food and sail boats in his water dish. When I learned years later that Barney had actually been considered &q... Manga Sutra, Volume One
by Nadia Oxford, Columnist (Mon 02-04-2008)
Erotic manga and anime is not known for being gentle; it has inarguably earned its reputation for raunchiness. If you have a sexual fetish, Japan has no doubt animated it along with a few you didn't know existed. It might therefore surprise manga fans whe...

by Nadia Oxford (Thu 09-27-2007)
Going through life without dying a hideous death somewhere in the middle is hard enough, but every family puts expectations on their children--particularly the first-born--which adds weight to the burden. In Stand By Youth by Young Bin-Kim, highschooler H... V.B. Rose, Volume One
by Nadia Oxford, Columnist (Sat 02-09-2008)
V.B. Rose ("Velvet Blue Rose") is as girly as a manga gets. It's about fashion, romance and sisterly love, and two pretty boys take the lead aside the female main character. V.B. Rose is also cheek-pinchingly cute. I can't dress myself in the mo... "Divalicious! Volume One"

by Nadia Oxford (Sat 06-02-2007)
Tokyopop classifies King of Thorn as "Action," but that's a little broad. While Yuji Iwahara's manga is indeed action-packed, it fits neater still into the "Jesus Christ, What Just Happened To Us??" sub-genre of manga, alongside titles... HEAVEN!!, Volume One

by Nadia Oxford (Sun 08-03-2008)
The strongest point for volume one of eV would be the cliffhanger on the very last panel. The lead-up, however, is average, which presents an interesting problem: if a story gives you a good reason to read further installments but not until the very end, ...

by Nadia Oxford (Thu 03-08-2007)
Calling You is a heartbreaking manga. Not so much because of moving drama or soul-tugging art, but because awkward presentation and unfortunate technical errors ultimately stifles two intriguing stories.
