But, it sounds like no loss if I miss it. I didn't have much hope for "I Wish" from Tokyopop. The description sounded so generic. I'll stick with "Pet Shop of Horors" for my comeuppance manga. I ought to post my review of "Bride of the Water God" some day... I read the preview of “Flock of Angels” on Aurora’s site, and it looked mildly interesting.

The art is OK, but the story is pretty ridiculous (but not in a fabulous, "Wow, this is so insane it's genius!" sort of way). I didn't mean for this week's column to be so negative, especially with so many good titles. My review of <i>Blood+</i> got to be too long, so I'm going to post that separately. But that's worth a look-see. I was really underwhelmed by Flock of Angels, too.

And the one you gave a decent grade to, I hated the preview of, all because of Usagi. She soooo grated on my nerves. I've only go 4 volumes coming in this week's haul. I had some interest in Flock of Angels from Aurora, but Jason Thompson's review in Otaku USA #3 has warded me off from it. I dropped Black God as part of my manga slimming program. Zombie Loan has this next volume to wow me, or it's on the chopping block next. Yen's not doing as well as I had hoped. Wow, that’s pretty harsh this week.
