On The Shojo Beat

I have a couple of reviews in today’s On The Shojo Beat column at Manga Recon, for volume 8 of Yuu Watase’s Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden (you can read my review of the previous volume here), and for the first volume of Honey Hunt, a new series by Hot Gimmick creator, Miki Aihara. It’s probably too early to really say, but Honey Hunt could potentially make its way on to my list of addictively readable shojo (thanks, David Welsh). It’s not of the same quality as something like NANA, but it is pure, trashy fun.

Expect a few more additions to my recent shojo review binge on this blog over the next couple of weeks, as well as a nice new burst of shonen (beginning with last night’s review of Hikaru no Go, vol. 15). Later!
