This week: Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning, Bakuman, Songs to Make You Smile, Code: Breaker, Alice the 101st, & Ugly Duckling’s Love Revolution -- Welcome to another edition of Off the Shelf with Melinda & Michelle! I’m joined, as always, by Soliloquy in Blue‘s Michelle Smith. This week's installment includes titles from Yen Press, Viz Media, Tokyopop, Del Rey Manga, and Digital Manga Publishing. MELINDA: The air is like soup here in western Massachusetts this week, which means there's been nothing for me to do but huddle against the air conditioner with a volume of manga. What about you? MICHELLE: I've certainly been staying inside as much as possible, though in the South central air conditioning is a must so there's no actual huddling required. :) This weekend, for example, I passed a lovely afternoon binging on Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning, the first of the series I sampled in our Shounen Sundays experiment that I have managed to continue (though I promise not to abandon the rest!).
