I’ve got three in queue right now. I think it’s a first in/first out to the editor, so hopefully soon.

Phoenixfire: I didn't know I'd been quoted on amazon! Thanks for the tip. (I'd better be careful what I say so that I don't become the Gene Shalit of manga!) Looking forward to your next review at Manga Life--I enjoyed reading your take on Samurai Commando: Mission 1549! Christina: There are a few early, positive reviews of Key to the Kingdom out there. The MangaManiaCafe gave it a solid B, and David Welsh gave it high praise in his weekly Flipped! column at Comic World News.

Her Majesty’s Dog has been appearing on Borders/Waldenbooks shelves earlier than the release date since it’s introduction. I think they mentioned something about it at anime expo last year. Anyway, you should read it if you haven’t already. It has always made me chuckle.
Has anyone else heard about Key to the Kingdom? This is the first time I’ve heard it mentioned. Sounds interesting…

I’ve been eyeing Her Majesty’s Dog for a month now, though not really sure if I should get it. I thought the premise WAS a little to close to Inuyasha. I’m glad to know it is, in a good way. I’ll have to try and find it, but I know better than to check by Barnes and Noble. Their selections sucks. Though…it was a little surprising to me, at my last trip there, there were a lot more senien books this time.

BTW Katherine, did you know you were quoted on Amazon.com? I was researching for my TP New Releases, and they had a quote from your review of tactics on the page for Shinshoku Kiss (same writer for both)?

I’m really glad to hear it! We’re very excited about adding Ken and Carlos, as both of them really expand the range of titles we’re covering. (Plus they’re funny, too… always a good quality in a reviewer.) I haven’t tried Case Closed yet, but it sounds like something worth… investigating. (Groan!)

Ok, I was just reading what I posted. I meant to say that I like your two new reviewers. It is this site that I meant that I finally understand a little. >.

oooo …. No fair you have received my favorite manga from Go!Comi in advance! What caught me was the story telling and no I didn’t even connect it to InuYasha. Now I will have to see if that is true.
Oh, thanks for the wonderful comment on wts. I am enjoying being able to finally understand the site more. I especially the two new reviewers. I hope to include the other reviewers as well in up coming wts.
Oh, before I go. I got my copy of volume 19 of Case Closed on Friday at Barnes and Noble. I am saving Genju for when I finally have nothing to read in between.
