I was so going for a manga. I was thinking new, but I can't resist Inuyasha! So, I guess I understand about sticking to a series. :) You keep getting me curious about reading manga.

I've yet to read it, but I do plan too. I haven't really ventured out into the contemporary manga realm.

I'm venturing into the manga genre. Alison recommended the Sand Chronicles.

I want to say I'm not into Manga, but I've never really read any, so I suppose I can't truly say that. Excellent review, Rummanah.
