Daily Briefs
This complete version is the first release in its franchise to include an English dub. Even a good dub cannot hide the flaws in this monster romp centered around a monster princess, however.
The Story of Saiunkoku is a nice change of pace from a lot of other translated shoujo with its heroine with bigger ambitions than earning her M.R.S.
Madoka Magica is truly attempting to do something different, introducing a host of wildly creative and deeply sinister elements, reaching inside the very heart of the genre itself and pulling it inside out.
Though it is a compilation movie, it may prove to be fairly impenetrable to those new to the world of Sacred Seven due to the very small amount of even basic information given to the viewer regarding plot and characterization.
It’s still worth watching, particularly if you’ve grown attached to Yozora and the gang, but only just.
A Devil and Her Love Song GN 1
Despite what the back cover says, and even in spite of the title, this is not a love story.

Skip Beat! GN 26
If there’s one thing that can be said about Skip Beat it is that it has been consistently enjoyable. This volume is no exception.

House of Five Leaves GN 5
For those who can get past the pacing and the art, House of Five Leaves is an interesting tale of a disparate group of people fallen into crime. With complimenting characters, a clear sense of the time in which is takes place, and intertwining motivations, Ono’s series is one for the older reader who is ready for something a little different that doesn’t involve students or superpowers.

Twin Spica GN 11
The uplifting message still shines through, and the main characters don’t just lecture about getting stronger and moving forward—they actually go out there and do it.

Broken Blade
Fantastic mecha battles and a novel technological base highlight this gritty, graphic, adult- slanted sci fi/ fantasy story about friends forced to oppose each other in a war that neither side wants or can avoid.
