VIZ Media LLC, 2007

A more serious romantic comedy

+ Strawberries, anyone?

There are three main things that I care about in a graphic novel: the story, the art, and the ending, with the last one being the most important of all.

VIZ Media LLC, 2007

You must read the entire 1st arc before deciding

+ An episodic adventure blending fantasy and wild west themes
+ kurohime

I have to say, I was unimpress at the beginning of the managa release. but if you are patient and read the entire first arc, it will touch your heart. If you like the main charaters, stick it out and wait for real story to begin.

not cosmic... but not bad, either

Um, this volume has a pretty negative seeming professional review, and I'd like to respond to that. If anyone's looking for the one-and-only true, earth-shaking, world-changing manga, well, Gacha Gacha isn't for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a light hearted romp through the lives ...
