Read Takehiko Inoue's REAL at the gym today.....oh wow. IF this isn't nominated for an Eisner I think there is something really wrong in the world of comics.

From the same manga-ka as SLAMDUNK, we have another basketball story ~ but this time off the bench our storyteller is providing the reader with less silly, shonen sports hoopla and...if you'll pardon the court slang....LOADS more balls-to-the-wall drama.

A story about a number of young men and women, whom for various reason find themselves involved in wheelchair basktball (on or off the court) doesn't sound like it could grip the reader but.... oh my goodness ....it can and it does!

I had doubts ....but don't any more. This is a two-thumbs up read!

In other reading we have Nanae Chrono's beautifully drawn and genuinely entertaining vampire romp; VASSALORD.

Vampire stories seem to be in fashion these days and I haven't really thought much of them thus far ~ but Vasslord is different from the rest. First off ~ the artwork is just plain good. Secondly ~ the stories genuinely have their amusing moments and the definately don't take themselves too seriously. That's not to say they are stupid ~ *coughTrinitybloodcough* ~ rather they are just a whole lot of fun and you can't help but think that they manga-ka is having a blast. It's fluff, but good fluff!! *^__^*
